Hi all,
I have had trouble with metapost lately; mptopdf seems broken. Here are
two small test files:
rent.mp:
........................
input metafun;
numeric u; u=15mm;
beginfig(1);
drawarrow (0,0)..(8u,0);
draw (3u,-.2u)..(3u,.5u);
label.bot(btex 0 etex, (3.2u,0));
endfig;
end
.......................
rent.tex:
.......................
\starttext
\externalfigure[/home/jean/graph/rent.1]
\stoptext
.......................
I run metapost on the first file and (nearly) everything seems all right;
rent.1 is created and I can visualize it.
ThenI run in order mkiv, mkii, texexec --dvi, and mptopdf:
** mkiv output:
ERROR: Leaders not followed by proper glue.
--- TeX said ---
<to be read again>
\normalhskip
\forcecolorhack ->\leaders \hrule \normalhskip
\zeropoint
\dohandleobject ...hss }\fi \fi }}\forcecolorhack
\box \scratchbox \endgroup
l.3 ...ox{\getobject{FIG}{/home/jean/graph/rent.1}
}
--- HELP ---
No help available
** mkii output:
name: dummy
file: rent
state: unknown
** texexec --dvi output:
OK
** 07:23 jean@boldair /home/jean/graph % mptopdf rent
MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : no filename matches rent
My context system from minimals is updated from tomorrow night (mptopdf
was slightly different but failed anyway before thet update)
Sorry if the question was already discussed here!

Hi,
same trouble here. The problem is the current definition of
\forcecolorhack (colo-ini.mkiv).
But we are lucky, as Hans has kept the old version as comment. For the
moment just add a comment sign in front of the new definition and
deactivate the old version. Nothing I can fix (no clue what this does
and no time at all).
Best wishes, Peter

Thanks Peter,
If I do so, mkiv still fails on my file, but goes a little further:

\normalhskip
\forcecolorhack ->\leaders \hrule \normalhskip

\ctxlua {figures.include()...

.................................
Anyway the problem occurs also with mkii and pstopdf...

Have you remade the formats? Sorry, I have forgotten to add this to the
prior post.

Sorry me! I should obviously have done that.
Yes it works now with mkiv, but I don't see how to do the same thing in
mkii...
Anyway thanks Peter,

Well, texexec does the job all right, but texexec --xtx doesn't find the
images. The only thing I see in the log of xetex is:
figures : dimensions of contr.1 loaded from figurefile itself
floatblocks : no block given
floatblocks : 1 placed
(three such for each figure)

I never used xetex, but there is a good chance that this is also a
format update problem
see
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Remaking_formats
for the details.

Well, no; I remade all formats and still xetex doesn't put the image in
place; by the way, mkiv does it only with full path. \setupexternalfigures
doesn't work right now (it used to some time ago)
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.43.0-2009081914
bye,
