metafun not working

metafun not working

[piskala upendran]

hello Taco,

I did search the result of all the files. All the
files are ok. except the MP-mpgraph.mpy and
MP-mpgraph.1. 

The mpy shows only the 

%mpochecksum : 8298

rest are all blank.


Iam also finding the error in MP-mpgraph.1

I am attaching the file.

It means both mpy and MP-mpgraph.1 files are wrong.
what should i do next. how to find the mistake?

thanks

upendran

Try to run the command
	makempy MP-mpgraph.mpo
manually. it will probably complain about missing pstoedit
command (see Hans' reply to mojca for more details).

Looks like it. The last line in the mpy file
should have been:

   endgraphictextfig;

not --cycle.

Can you try this?

   > makempy --force --noclean MP-mpgraph.mpo

The last lines in the (now kept) mpy-MP-mpgraph.tmp should be

         --cycle;
   endfig;
   end

If not, your pstoedit is broken. If yes, your makempy script
is broken.

Good luck, Taco

It seem that last pstoedit for linux is  broken.

I make MP.tex with  my old-friend 
Context.2002--still_crazy_after_all_these_years--, and pstoedit 3.33 and 
no problems.

Hello,

I have problems with this graphic too. First I noticed that I don't have 
pstoedit installed on my computer. I downloaded version 3.40 from 
http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit. When I now run this MP code I get a 
Windows (xp) errormessage: Unhandled exception in pstoedit.exe 
(STDDRIVERS.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation. But I get the graphic 
rendered.

Any suggestions?

hmm, try on ctan:

ctan/support/pstoedit/windows

It should be an older (3.31) but good version .

cited from the webpage:

New or changed in 3.32:
...
workaround to cope with a change introduced since ghostscript 7.04.
Some new operators were added to ghostscript's internal array of
operators without increasing the maximum size of the array. This led
to the problem, that pstoedit couldn't add further operators.
...

I tried it out before reading that paragraph and I can approve: unless
you have an ancient GS, it doesn't work at all. 3.40 at least does
something even though it crashes.

but i have no problems here with gs 8.51 (all 8 versions worked ok) and pstoedit 
3.33, so how recent is your gs?

Confirm : under linux MP.tex works with pstoedit 3.33 , gs 8.51 and even 
ESP Ghostscript 7.07;
pstoedit 3.40 does not works correctly with gs 8.51 and 7.07

(Sorry Mojca, I was confused by numbers -- too much hot today -- )

I believe that the version 3.33 works, but I can't find it anywhere.
Even 3.40 is difficult to download. Usually only some polite
"bandwidth exceeded" message appears. I don't know if the development
of the program is stil in progress, but they could switch to
sourceforge.

The version on CTAN is 3.31 - this is the one which doesn't work even
for simple conversions outside ConTeXt. The paragraph I posted to the
list was taken from "New or changed in 3.32". This means that version
3.31 can't cope with the old GS.

pstoedit 3.40 seems to work as well. I can make conversions from
postscript to metapost outside ConTeXt without any problem. Also the
posted example with metafun trickery works somehow. It crashes the
pstoedit program, but obviously pstoedit manages to produce the proper
output before crashing.

I sent a short email to the email mentioned on the webpage - I hope
they will answer.

seems so, this stand alone --cycle does not look good. See taco's previosu

MP.tex works after downgrading to pstoedit 3.33

I got the following answer from the author of pstoedit:

In [MikTeX]/scripts/context/perl/makempy.pl I removed -ssp [simulate 
subpaths] from the following two routines:

sub make_mp_pictures_ps
   { process ("metapost file") ;
     run ($tmpfile, "$pstoedit", "-ssp -dt -f mpost $posfile $tmpfile") }

sub make_mp_pictures_pdf
   { process ("metapost file") ;
     run ($tmpfile, "$pstoedit", "-ssp -dt -f mpost $pdffile $tmpfile") }

pstoedit now doesn't crash any more, but 'P' or 'O' for example don't 
have "holes" any more. I'll try to reinstall my cygwin or to compile the 
source of pstoedit on Linux later. If I understood correctly than this 
patch should solve the problem and -ssp should work again.

Besides that, pstoedit will move to sourceforge, so it will hopefully 
soon be possible to download it more easily than it is now :)

do you need a cygwin version on windows? there is a regular one

metafun not working

[piskala upendran]

Hi,

i did as suggested.

The Mp.tex is rendering grpahics perfectly. but the
pstoedit 3.40 seems to be having problems. it crashes
while doing the convertion.

However when I change the text "MP" to "MPOOOOL", it
crashes with the same error. but the pdf output
contains only "MPOOOO" with the last 'o'totally filled
with gray circle and 'L' is missing.

I did another example of the mmakempy manual of
'\input zapf' for outline paragraph. 
It stops after converting the word 'coming' and
nothing at all.

what could be the problem.
I am using gsview4.7 and gs8.51 with pstoedit3.4 in
winXP. The old version 3.31 tried, but failed. I am
able to get pstoedit3.33 on serach.

Can you help.


best wishes
upendran

Thanks

metafun not working

[piskala upendran]

hi wolfgang and all,

I did configured the pstoedit as you said and
generated new metafun.mem.
Compilation of makempy complains of 

process aborted : invalid 'texexec --batch -- once
--interface=en --pdf' run

I did check pdftops as per requirement of mmakempy.pdf
manual. pdftops.exe is not available in miktex/bin/.

what does the error message point at. do I have to to
install pdftops.exe. or configure from somewhere else.
gsview 4.7 does not provide pdftops but pdftotxt3.exe

I am attaching the makeMPY generated file.

thanks all

Re: metafun not working

[piskala upendran]

Hi all,

I have installed a fresh gs view 4.7 and pstoedit 3.40
all latest version under windows. I installed pstoedit
at H/program files/ghostgum directory.

Generated new metafun.mem and udated at
localtexmf/miktex/mem directory and texmf/web2c
directories. 

MY makempy still complains about pstoedit is
unrecogonised internal or external command. I did
update the database and format files in miktex
options.

How do i tell the path of pstoedit to makempy?

Re: metafun not working

[Wolfgang Zillig]

I assume you are working under windows.

You go in start -> settings -> control panel -> system -> advanced -> 
environmental variables  (at least under xp)

You have to chance the variable "path" and add there the path to pstoedit

Hope that helps

Wolfgang

metafun not working

[piskala upendran]

Hi all, 

I did install the new kpsewhich and texexec send by
mr. Hans Hagen and installed pstoedit. 

updated the mem file and pdfetex.efmt using texexec
--make --alone en metafun. still the problem exits
except that the MakeMPY stopped complaining about
pstoedit is not recogonise internal or external
command. can you help me out. 

The mp graphics opened so error message as bonding box
as  0 0 0 0. 

can any one help me the get the correct method?


thanks all.

Re: metafun not working

[Taco Hoekwater]

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

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

Hope this helps, Taco

hi Mr. Hans,

I was trying to run the metafun example as given
below. It gave one blank pdf page.

I moved the metafun.mem file to localtexmf/miktex/mem
and write18 enable in miktex.ini.

I did try it live context. the result is same can you
tell me the error. is it my system is not configured
properly. If so why is it live context gives same
result.

Thanks a lot.

Re: [Fwd: metafun not working]

[Taco Hoekwater]

On my linux system, I was missing the 'pstoedit' command.
I got a blank page (well, only a page number) just like
you, then I installed pstoedit, and now it looks fine.

Thanks for the hint. I never thought about installing pstoedit. I just
noticed long time ago that I was unable to make such fancy things, but
I thought I was simply to stupid to understand the manual :(.

However: after I somehow managed to download pstoedit (it is difficult
to get it because too much bandwidth is used), it crashes every time I
run texexec (just after the message "generating: metapost file"), but
somehow it produces the result.

strange; are you sure that you have the right version? normally it's in the 
gsview distribution and ends up in some ghostgum path

pstoedit.exe - Fehler in Anwendung

Die Anweisung in "0x00aee797" verweist auf Speicher in "0x00000000".
Der Vorgang "read" konnte nicht auf dem Speicher durchgeführt werden.

Seems like someone had problems using pointers in C, but I don't know.

pstoedit: version 3.40 / DLL interface 108 (build Jan 6 2005 - release build)

Probably this is the problem? Maybe I can try with an older version,
but I don't have it.
I tried with 3.31 which resides in CTAN, but this is not compliant any
more with the new version of gs.

I tried a conversion ps -> mpost with some random file and with
filename-mpgraph.1 and it worked OK. I can't reproduce crash except by
running texexec on the posted document.

I had 8.11 and replaced it with 8.51, but no difference. It crashes
only in the first run. The second run goes OK. Once I run texutil
--purgeall, it crashes again.

I doubt that the problem lies in GS, but everything is possible..
If anyone would like to test the version 3.40 on the posted document and
if there are downloading problems, please mail me. I can get no older version
to test.

Although it crashes, the resulting PDF file after 2 runs seems to be OK.
