problem with mp clip

problem with mp clip

[Peter Rolf]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 474 bytes --]

Hi,

it seems, that clipping with a MetaPost path is broken (at least on my
machine). I couldn't test it on Contextgarden, as the standard example
pictures are not installed (or the !!path is not searched).

Anyhow, if someone can test this please.

I work with the latest minimal distribution (XP), ConTeXt beta from
03.07.2007, pdftex 1.40.4 and mpost 1.0.

Thanks in advance, Peter


@Patrick:
  Is there a way to add the test pictures (cont-img.zip) to 'live context'?

  clip currentpicture to
  unitcircle scaled 3cm;
\stopMPclip

\starttext

\clip[width=3cm,height=3cm,mp=ClipTest]{\externalfigure[mill.png]}

\stoptext

They are already installed, but not in a local path. I have changed
'live context' so now the sample figures are in the search path.

has to do with the changed mp output ... in supp-mps.tex change this ...

\bgroup
\catcode`\%=\@@active
\catcode`\/=\@@comment
\gdef\dograbMPclippath/
   {\setbox\scratchbox=\hbox\bgroup/
    \catcode`\%=\@@active
    \obeylines\let\obeyedline\space
    \def\do##1q n##2p W##3\od/
      {\xdef\MPclippath{##2}\endinput}/
    \def%##1%%EOF/
      {\do##1q np W\od\endinput}/
    \readfile{\MPgraphicfile.\the\currentMPgraphic}{}{}/
    \ifx\MPclippath\empty
      \def\do##1newpath##2closepath##3\od/
        {\xdef\MPclippath{##2}\endinput}/
      \def%##1%%EOF/
        {\do##1newpathclosepath\od\endinput}/
      \readfile{\MPgraphicfile.\the\currentMPgraphic}{}{}/
    \fi
    \deallocateMPslot\currentMPgraphic / new
    \egroup}
\egroup

keep in mind that it's still a dirty trick

Many thanks Hans. Works like a charm (dirty trick, but clean cut).
