still having problems with simple (?) examples

still having problems with simple (?) examples

[Denis B. Roegel]

Before I work on the French messages and interface,
I have to make context work...

Recall that I have TeXlive 4 + the latest context (September 21).

First problem (second problem in the next message) :

With 

%\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}
fill fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor red;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{dummy}
\stoptext

I don't see a red circle, but a grey one. Here is what I do
(I am not using texexec presently because I get additionnal errors,
maybe because I am running it on Solaris.)

Using a recent teTeX-beta (februrary ;-) with pdftex
0.14g-pretest-20000912
and ConTeXt 2000-09-30 I get with xdvi (.dvi) and dvips/gs (.ps) a red
circle (using texexec file). With --pdf I get a grey circle, with --pdf
--color a red circle. With other words: I cannot reproduce it here.

How does the mpgraph.mp/.1 file look like?

It looks red.

Things are better now with the new setup.

So, how do you manage this color control?

\setupcolors[state=start]

im the metafun manual, you can find an explanation, when turned off,
context will convert color to weighted gray scale [even for mp graphics]
