ConTeXt ver: 2008.07.14 18:07 MKIV

[Willi Egger]

Hi LUA-users,


Yesterday I installed a complete new set of minimals on my MAC (OSX  
10.4).

Now I get very strange results wit MATPOST. The file compiled  
contains a large definition which is used as an inclusion to produce  
a series of similar drawings with different parameters. When  
compiling the document with texexec --lua the fist page is ok. The  
second and the following pages contain each page all the previous  
drawings on top of each other.

If the same drawing-set is compiled with texexec in MKII mode (This  
is MetaPost, version 1.085 (kpathsea version 3.5.6dev), some elements  
are distorted. It concerns elements, which are rotated and shifted.  
The fullcircle contained in the drawing is distorted too. Further  
also this document contains on the second and following pages the  
drawings from the previous pages stacked.

This file compiles correctly with

This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.1 (Web2C 7.5.6) (format=cont- 
en 2008.3.21)  16 JUL 2008 14:38
ConTeXt  ver: 2008.03.11 23:55 MKII  fmt: 2008.3.21  int: english/ 
english

I tried to make a small test file. However this did not show the  
problem described above. For someone who want to test I can provide  
the source and my pdfs offline.

Willi

We (blame *me*) just followed Taco's request to test the new mplib,
and you are the third one to complain. I think that Taco is eagerly
waiting for such bug reports :) :) :)

If you need the old working metapost, let me know.

way to go back in time with binaries yet.

Use the time machine :-) but Willi's Mac is too far in the past.

Hi Mojca,

thanks for your immediate reply. - Because I have still an older  
version running here, I do not depend on immediate repair. - Anyway I  
believe there will soon be a new version of MPlib though.

Kind regards

Wiilli

Yes, please! (just mail me directly). Most interesting are problems
with the stand alone version of mplib because these are easiest to
debug. Please send me complete input, log, and output (problems often
occur only on specific platforms at this stage).

Best wishes,
Taco

This is not really a bug. Willi saved the drawing in a picture
variable, and each drawing simply added to the saved drawing.

In mkiv, all images are processed sequentially in a single metapost
job. This is quite different from mkii where each image had its own
metapost run. It means that in mkiv, you have to clean up after
yourself if you want your images to be independent of eachother.

Best wishes,
Taco

indeed; the same effect can be watched with --automp

Hello,

indeed, that was the problem in MKIV. - Though this runs really fast,  
it is to adopt a new attitude! ;-)

I found and fixed the bug causing this, so it will be solved by the
new beta MPlib to be released tomorrow.

Best wishes,
