Hi
I am using context to run a metapost graph. I am however unable to
insert a label with \frac, since this is not pure Tex but Latex. This
seems to be a known problem for metapost:
-Seems for metapost only, one should add %&latex
(http://ryanmlayer.wordpress.com/tag/metapost/).
-I saw also one post where it was mentione done should add
//\setupMPpage[offset=1pt]
//(http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-March/000429.html). I tried,
but did not work however...
Any idea how I should do? Find below minimal example, that does not work
on my computer when compiling with context...
Thanks!!
Matthieu
\starttext
\setupMPpage[offset=1pt]
\switchtobodyfont[10pt]
% Beginning MetaPost graphic
\startMPpage
label.top(btex 1.4 etex scaled 1.00, (10, 10));
label.top(btex $\sigma_t$ etex scaled 1.00, (0, 10));
label.top(btex $\displaystyle \frac{\sigma_t}{a}$ etex scaled 1.00,
(1, 1));
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

I was however not able to produce the graph with the textext code... Should I actually then use another compiler? I tried with context and texexec (I thought texexec is the compiler for mkiv, right? I'm on linux ubuntu). I saw also that, as you mention, context has a \frac: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math_with_newmat I tried then to simply add \usemodule[newmat] and compile with context, but did not work...

Is this code you wrote supposed to be the whole doc to compile? And compiled with context? If yes, I got an error again... I have version context --version MTXrun | main context file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.tex MTXrun | current version: 2009.11.26 16:2 Is it likel;y then that the problem is solved in more recent versions? I would try to update then... I am on Ubuntu 10.10 64b, is there a simple way to update from other repos, or should I compile? Thanks for your help!!!
