Hello,

is it possible (namely for debugging) values of MP variables (be it on the console or in the log)?

I thought there is MP command "show" (mentioned in mpman.pdf) for this; but:

----
\starttext
   A
   \startMPcode
     newpair pt; pt := (10,20);
show pt; % <-------------------------- How to show the value?
     drawdot pt;
   \stopMPcode
\stoptext
----

doesn't show value of 'pt' variable.

Best regards,

Lukas

message(pt) ;

puts it into the (context) log.

show

is a MetaPost command that will get included in the log with:

\enabletrackers [metapost.showlog]
