underbar in MP text

underbar in MP text

Hi all,

if \underbar is used inside a MP text, it always uses a fixed rule
thickness, regardless of the settings in ConTeXt. How can I change this?

TIA, Peter

\setupoutput[pdftex]

\setMPtext{testtext} {}

\startusableMPgraphic{mptext}
  draw textext.rt(\MPstring{testtext}) ;
\stopusableMPgraphic



\starttext

\setupunderbar[rulethickness=2pt]

\underbar{Thick line}

\setMPtext{testtext}{\underbar{Thick line}}

\useMPgraphic{mptext}

\setupunderbar[rulethickness=.15pt]

\underbar{Thin line}

\setMPtext{testtext}{\underbar{Thin line}}

\useMPgraphic{mptext}


\stoptext

Does adding the settings inside

\setupMPenvironment[global]

\setupunderbar...

\stopMPenvironment

help? Sorry, I can not test it at the moment. But basically, all the 
settings for textext (font setups, own commands)  should be included 
inside a \setupMPenvironment. The [global] simply uses the same settings 
in the main text.

this works for the example code, but sadly not in my complex graphic. I
have to look deeper into this, as soon as I have the time (but there is
only one MP environment and no setup of underbar is used elsewhere).

\startMPenvironment[global]
  \setupunderbar[rulethickness=2pt]%
\stopMPenvironment

Anyhow, many thanks for your answer. :)

Greetings, Peter
