Compiling figures

Compiling figures

[David Arnold]

All,

Suppose I have Metapost files

pretest.1
pretest.2
pretest.3
.
.
.
pretest.31

and

pretest.tex
pretest.pdf
pretest.qsl

and other pretest.* in one directory. What wildcard characters will allow

texexec --pdf --fig=a pretest.*  <--- right here, what wildcards can I use?

to include only the metapost files?

In principle pretest.* should work ok, but since the .pdf one is also a
figure, it will end up in the list too. So, I suggest you delete or rename
the pretest.pdf file. Alternatively, you can try: 

\starttext 

\startcolumns[n=3]

\dorecurse
  {32}
  {\externalfigure[pretest.\recurselevel][width=\hsize]}

\stopcolumns

\stoptext
