Inspection of mpgraph.mp showe The latest version of context is (up to twice) as fast (depending on the task). >graphictextformat := "context" ; >graphictextdirective "\global \loadfontdefinitionfileoncetrue " ; > >Can this be changed? Or something else? Or is it impossible / undesirable >to use plain tex for some reasons I don't see? Not so much impossible, more a lack of need and time. It can be compiled using context and further processed by dvitomp, no >problem, but where does \end{document} come from? Looks like latex. This is generated by the metapost related tools: \end is also valid plain Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
