Textext Question

Textext Question

[Jean Magnan de Bornier]

Hello,
I'm having some trouble with MPgraphics; here is a minimal example:
.............................
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\runMPgraphicstrue
\setuppapersize[S6][S6] 

\setupcolors[state=start]

\startMPinclusions
 numeric u; u=.8cm;
path AX; AX = drawdblarrow (10u,0) -- (0,0) -- (0,10u);
\stopMPinclusions

\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}

pickup pencircle scaled 1mm;
draw AX withcolor blue; 
 label.rt(textext("$3x^2+\pi$"), (5u,6u));
\stopuseMPgraphic

\placefigure[left]{bla.bla}{\useMPgraphic{dummy}}
 
\input dawkins
\stoptext
.............................


After compilation with texexec I get "unknown" instead of the expected
label.

What is wrong with me?

TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

               texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
               texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
                   tex : pdfeTeXk, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
               context : ver: 2005.10.27
               cont-en : ver: 2005.10.27  fmt: 2006.4.28  mes: english

draw + drawdblarrow = ?!

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\runMPgraphicstrue
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]

\setupcolors[state=start]

\startMPinclusions
 numeric u; u=.8cm;
path AX; AX =  (10u,0) -- (0,0) -- (0,10u);
\stopMPinclusions

\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}

pickup pencircle scaled 1mm;
drawdblarrow AX withcolor blue;
 label.rt(textext("$3x2+\pi$"), (5u,6u));
\stopuseMPgraphic

\placefigure[left]{bla.bla}{\useMPgraphic{dummy}}
 
\input dawkins
\stoptext

works...

Cheers,

Renaud

Hi Jean Magnan,

You should add  \useMPlibrary[txt] in order to get textext working.
Further define AX as a path only.
In the dummy-graphic say drawdblarrow AX.withcolor blue;

After these changes I got the label as well as the double arrow.

Kind regards
Willi

Hi, 
thanks to you and Renaud; I changed my file to this:
...................................
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\runMPgraphicstrue
\useMPlibrary[txt]

\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\startMPinclusions
numeric u; u=.8cm;
path AX; AX=(10u,0)--(0,0)--(0,10u);
\stopMPinclusions
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}
pickup pencircle scaled .8mm;
drawdblarrow AX withcolor green;
label.rt(textext("$3x^2+\pi$"), (5u,6u));
\stopuseMPgraphic

\placefigure[left]{bla.bla}{\useMPgraphic{dummy}}
\input dawkins
\stoptext
...................................

I get the same "unknown" in place of the label.
On computer one (my everyday machine) context is provided by TeX-Live, and
I made the same experiment with my computer two where context is installed
via TeTeX.
Same result on both!

I Think I have followed  normal installation procedures (enabling write18
etc.)
So I'm confused
Thanks for any more help!

Hi,

Actually I tried your file and got the same "Undefined" message in  
place of the graphics.
However the following works for me (latest ConTeXt installed with i- 
Installer on Mac OS X 10.4.6):

\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext
\startbuffer[essai]
numeric u; u = .4cm;
path p; p = (10u,0)--(0,0)--(0,10u);
pickup pencircle scaled .8mm;
drawdblarrow p withcolor red;
label.rt(textext("$3x^2+\pi$"), (5u,6u));
\stopbuffer

\placefigure[left]{bla.bla}{\processMPbuffer[essai]}
\input dawkins
\stoptext

If I add
\useMPlibrary[txt]
at the beginning everything works fine as well. But if I add
\runMPgraphicstrue
then I get the "Undefined" message in the PDF. So it seems that the  
problem comes from this latter command.

Best regards: OK

This file compiles fine here (Windows XP + ConTeXt  ver: 
2006.05.17 10:08). I get proper text in the right location.

Your first message said that you were running texexec.pl. Try 
switching to texexec.rb, i.e., invoke context with

texmfstart texexec <filename>

Why is this so? I could not find anything in meta-txt.tex to suggest 
that it is needed for textext. The example works even without 
\useMPlibrary[txt].

Hi all, I tried various ways as suggested on my file with the setups
\useMPlibrary[txt] and \runMPgraphicstrue. The only combination that's
working is to have \useMPlibrary[txt] and not the other. Is it proper to
my installation, as others seem to have other requirements? 

As for "texmfstart texexec" it is unknown on my machine, I don't have ruby
installed anyway (is it necessary?).

 Thanks to all!

the file compiles ok here 

textext is scanned for (but you can force it with \forceMPTEXgraphictrue) 

This is what supp-mps defined: 

\forceMPTEXcheck{etex}
\forceMPTEXcheck{textext}
\forceMPTEXcheck{graphictext}
