counter for MPtoPDF calls [feature request]

counter for MPtoPDF calls [feature request]

[Peter Rolf]

Hi Hans,

I tested the beta from yesterday and I liked the incremented number
behind the MPtoPDF calls (in older versions this was always [1]). I'm
currently optimizing some of my graphics for trailtypesetting and the
incremented counter was really informative.

[..]
[MP to PDF] (./testbed-mpgraph.1)This is MetaPost, Version 0.901 (Web2c
7.5.3)
(testbed-mpgraph.mp (r:\mp-test.mp) [37]
                                    ^^^^
[..]

In the current beta this number is completely missing. What was this
number for and is it possible to attach the current number of MPtoPDF calls?

Greetings, Peter

the incremen t(i.e. not reuse) was a bug introduced when messing around 
with the statics

Ahh, now I understand. So if I want to get the exact number of MPtoPDF
calls, I only need to disable recycleMPslots. I always enabled it, so I
never noticed, what this number is for.

Thanks for the info and just forget the request.
