ConTeXtnicians,

This is a MetaPost question, not a ConTeXt question, per se. Does anybody know
how to use a for loop to label axes and, secondly, how to pass paramters to a
metapost file?

For example,

numeric u; u=1.0cm;
for i=-10 upto 10:
if not(i=0) lablel.lft(btex $i$ etex, (i,0)*u); fi;
endfor;

does not work. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Walter Kehowski
