Subject: How to get graph module (metapost) to work with ConTeXt minimals?
Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2010 11:07:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D1C59EF.3080403@ziggo.nl> (raw)
Hi,
This might not be the right place to ask this question, but want to give
it a try anyway!
I've installed the ConTeXt minimals (Mark IV!) recently, and running the
command:
context --version
yields the following output:
...
MTXrun | current version: 2010.07.30 11:35
Now I want to generate a few plots using the graph-module (by John D.
Hobby) of MetaPost, which I used in the past to make high-quality plots.
But when I add the following statement:
input graph ;
to the preamble of my MetaPost file and run the command:
mpost plot.mp
The run aborts with the following messages:
>> texnum.mp
>> texnum.mpx
! Unable to make mpx file.
l.17 init_numbers(btex
$-$etex, btex$1$etex, btex${\times}10$etex,
Transcript written on texnum.log.
TeXExec | processing graphic 'texnum.mpx'
TeXExec | runtime: 1.547143
>> texnum.mp
>> texnum.mpx
! Unable to make mpx file.
l.17 init_numbers(btex
$-$etex, btex$1$etex, btex${\times}10$etex,
Transcript written on plot.log.
So where to go from here? Do I need to install additional TeX related
stuff to get it working? Anybody any suggestions, please? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Gerard Verhaag
P.S.
By the way, if I use MetaPost within ConTeXt using:
\loadmarkfile{m-graph}
\starttext
\startMPcode
.
/[MetaPost code]
.
/ \stopMPcode
\stoptext
than everything works just fine!
