Hi,
I'm trying to pass a string argument value to an MPgraphic but it
doesn't seem to work:
Tried the following:
\startuseMPgraphic{name}{lbl}
pair a ; a := (3cm,3cm) ;label.top("\MPvariable{lbl}",a) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\useMPgraphic{name}{lbl=1}
\stoptext
The above works as expected!
But the following doesn't:
\startuseMPgraphic{name}{lbl}
pair a ; a := (3cm,3cm) ;label.top("\MPvariable{lbl}",a) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\useMPgraphic{name}{lbl=abc}
\stoptext
It yields:
1 \startuseMPgraphic{name}{lbl}
2 pair a ; a := (3cm,3cm) ;label.top("\MPvariable{lbl}",a) ;
3 \stopuseMPgraphic
4
5 %\startuseMPgraphic{name}fill fullcircle scaled 200pt withcolor
.625yellow ;\stopuseMPgraphic
6
7 \starttext
8 Example:
9 >> \useMPgraphic{name}{lbl=abc}
10 \stoptext
11

So it seems that only numbers can be passed not character strings! Why
is that? Is there a possibility to achieve this functionality?
Regards,
Gerard
