passing arguments to \processMPbuffer

passing arguments to \processMPbuffer

[Jeong Dal]

Dear all,

For \startuseMPgraphic, there is a way to do that (found in metafun book) as following:

\startuseMPgraphic{Labels}{s, t}
numeric u; u:= 1cm;

for i=0 upto 7:
label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), \MPvar{s}[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ;
label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), \MPvar{t}[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ;
endfor;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\starttext
	\placefigure[][]{}
	{\useMPgraphic{ColoringFace::Labeling}{s=0.8, t=1.3}}
\stoptext

Is there a way to the same job for \processMPbuffer instead of .5 and .7 in buffer?

\startbuffer[Labels]%{s, t}
numeric u; u:= 1cm;
for i=0 upto 7:
label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), .5[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ;
label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), .7[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ;
endfor;
\stopbuffer

\starttext
	\processMPbuffer[Labels]%% ?{s, t}?
\stoptext

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

You can’t pass variables with the buffer command but a direct setup and access of them is possible:

\startbuffer[Labels]
  numeric u; u:= 1cm;
  for i=0 upto 7:
    label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), \MPrawvar{Labels}{s}[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ;
    label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), \MPrawvar{Labels}{t}[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ;
  endfor;
\stopbuffer

\starttext
  \setupMPvariables[Labels][s=0.8, t=1.3]
  \processMPbuffer [Labels]
\stoptext

The \Mprawvar command takes two argument, the first takes the same name
which you have used for the \setupMPvariables command and the second
argument is the names of the key.

Dear Wolfgang,

Thank you for your solution.
Sometimes I need to use \processMPbuffer for the animated graphics.
BTW, what is the differences between ‘MPrawvar’ and ‘MPvar’.
MPvar didn’t work in your example.

Best regards,

Dalyoung
