Dear ConTeXt folks,
trying to draw a grid and label it, I get an error when using the (alsa
attached) example from the MetaFun manual [1].
\starttext
\startMPcode
drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled .25pt withcolor .5white) ;
draw hlingrid(0, 20, .2, 20cm, 10cm) ;
draw vloggrid(0, 10, .5, 10cm, 20cm) ;
drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled .50pt) ;
draw hlingrid(0, 20,1, 20cm, 10cm) ;
draw vloggrid(0, 10,1, 10cm, 20cm) ;
fmt_pictures := false ; % use TeX as formatting engine
textextoffset := ExHeight ; % a variable set by ConTeXt
draw hlintext.lft(0, 20,5, 20cm, "@3e") ;
draw vlogtext.bot(0, 10,9, 10cm, "@3e") ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
I am using an older version of ConTeXt Standalone.
ConTeXt ver: 2011.07.22 17:23 MKIV fmt: 2011.7.25 int: english/english
Looking at the log output I could not figure out the original error.
Please find the log file attached.
Searching the Web I found other threads dealing with this issue. But adding
\forceMPTEXgraphictrue
as suggested in [2] it does not solve the problem either.
Thanks,
Paul

Fixed in next beta (however, instead of mp formatting lua formatting is
used, a prelude to the graph rewrite that Alan and I have in mind).

as always thank you very much for this fast fix. I confirm that this is
fixed in current ConTeXt Standalone or latest Beta.

Not that I know the syntax of it. I hope the article FormattingNumbers
[2] in the lua-users Wiki is the correct place to look. Reading other
sources [3] it seems to be the same syntax as the `printf()`
implementation of the respective system.
Thanks,
Paul

sort of
(in our case the @ is also seen as % as passing %'s on tex is somewhat
tricky)
