Re: metafun not working

[Taco Hoekwater <taco@elvenkind.com>]

Hi,

When this sort of thing happens, I usually run each step
manually to see what goes wrong. So, can you check if the

MP-mpgraph.mp file is ok? The last lines should be:

   verbatimtex \global \loadfontfileoncetrue  etex;
   graphictext "MP" scaled 8 outlinefill withdrawcolor .7blue
     withfillcolor .7white dashed evenly withpen pencircle scaled 2pt ;
   endfig;
   let end=mprunend;
   end.

(if this is wrong, there is a problem in the tex run)

MP-mpgraph.mpo file is ok? It should contain:

   % format=context
    \global \loadfontfileoncetrue

   \startTEXpage[scale=10000]MP\stopTEXpage

(if this is wrong, there is a problem in your initial
mpost run)

MP-mpgraph.mpy file is ok?  It should contain:

   % mpochecksum : 8298
   begingraphictextfig(1);
   linecap := butt;
   linejoin := mitered;
   fill (101.859,0)--(101.859,3.46875)--
   .....app. 15 lines snipped.......
	--cycle;
   fill (180.047,59.5352)..
   .....app. 10 lines snipped.......
	--cycle;
   endgraphictextfig;

(if this contains only the mpochecksum, you have to
  delete it so it is regenerated next time, otherwise
there is a problem in the makempy run)

MP-mpgraph.1 file is ok?  It should contain:

   %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
   %%BoundingBox: -1 -1 142 67
   %%HiResBoundingBox: -0.79619 -0.79619 141.033 66.52214

    ......app. 160 lines ........
    closepath
    gsave fill grestore stroke
    showpage
    %%EOF

(if this is wrong, there is a problem in your secondary
mpost run)

(and if this is correct, there is a problem with the MPtoPDF
step)

Hope this helps, Taco
