Re: \startanimation and \dorecurse

[Jeong Dal <haksan@me.com>]

Dear Wolfgang,

According to your advice, I am able to make a working example as following.

\usemodule[animation]
\setupinteraction[state=start]

\startuseMPgraphic{Circles}{s}
numeric sn, L, N;
path p, q;
p := fullcircle scaled 72;
L:=length p;
N:=20;
sn := \MPvar{s};

q := subpath (0, sn/N*L) of p;%
draw q withcolor red;
fill fullcircle scaled 3 shifted point length q of q withcolor blue;
setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare shifted (-0.5,-0.5) scaled 75;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\starttext

\startanimation[menu=yes, menucolor=blue, framerate=5]
\dorecurse{20}
{\expanded{\frame{
\useMPgraphic{Circles}{s=\recurselevel}}}}
\stopanimation

\stoptext


One more question.

In metafun document, there is a command \setupMPvariables before \startuseMPgraphic. But we don’t use it in this example. 
Hence I think that it is not necessary always. Is there any case in which we have set the MPvariables?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dalyoung
