Hi all,
I'd like to achieve in context something like I did in
the attachment (context.pdf). My idea was (and
that's the way how I did this in Inkscape):

   - Create Text
   - Double the text
   - Clip one for the upper half, clip the other for the lower ha= lf
Actually, you only have to clip one, either the upper half or the lower half, since the latter elements added onto the canvas will mask the former elements.

   - Connect the two halves.

My (probably naive) approach to clipping text in context was:

-----
\starttext
\startuniqueMPgraphic{context}
  draw btex \bf Context etex xyscaled (4.0, 4.0) withcolor .8white ;&n= bsp;
  clip currentpicture to unitsquare;
take something like:
clip currentpicture to unitsquare scaled 8cm;
and you'll know what's the problem.
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\null\dontcomplain
\uniqueMPgraphic{context}
-----

(Without the "clip" - line, the string "Context" is dis= played. With
clipping, nothing is displayed.)

Any hint in the right direction towards clipping or maybe a better
way to achieve this is appreciated.

Thanks

Erik
