Hi all,
with the current Context beta
ConTeXt ver: 2011.04.13 09:23 MKIV fmt: 2011.4.19 int: english/english
and a recent luatex
LuaTeX, Version beta-0.66.0-2011041617 (rev 4160) (Win 7 64bit)
the externalfigure macro breaks with following message:
metapost > loading 'metafun.mp' (experimental metapost version two)
metapost > terminal: >> picture
! Isolated expression.
<to be read again>
;
<*> externalfigure "hacker.png" ;
;
metapost > error: unknown, no error, terminal or log messages
metapost > terminal: [1]
metapost > error: unknown, no error, terminal or log messages
metapost > terminal:
metapost > error: unknown, no error, terminal or log messages
metapost > terminal:

metapost > terminal: (Please type a command or say `end')
metapost > error: unknown, no error, terminal or log messages

metapost > terminal:
metapost > error: unknown, no error, terminal or log messages
metapost > terminal: >> picture
! Isolated expression.
<to be read again>
;
<*> externalfigure "hacker.png" ;
;
My code:
\starttext
\startMPcode
externalfigure "hacker.png" ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
The current "current" from
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
works ok.
Greetings Lutz

Thanks
Is there a recent Metafun manual?
I would even buy it (like the "Fonts in ConTeXt").

But it already needs to be updated with
"draw externalfigure"
:)
Alan
P.S. The printed manual on paper is really nice!

I'm still not sure about that one ... compatibility vs clean

I rather like the new syntax - indeed much cleaner.
(However, for compatibility issues, it might be nice to
somehow program a better error message, if possible,
so that 'externalfigure "hacker.jpg";' more elegantly fails.)
In fact, '\externalfigure' in ConTeXt and 'externalfigure'
in metafun (without 'draw') can be a bit confusing, as in
\starttext
\externalfigure "hacker" scaled 5cm ;
\stoptext
Of course, no-one would ever admit to such foolishness.
Alan

maybe another name externalimage or so (as images in mp need to be drawn)
