Thanks for the reply Fabrice. Looks like something changed in the recent update. I'm sure Hans will pick it up.
Best wishes

Hi all

I went to use the lmt_shade function and it fails with two error messages. the first one is:

metafun > log > error: Not a cycle
followed by lots of trace messages, then:
metafun > log > That contour should have ended with '.. cycle' or '& cycle'. So I'll not change
anything just now.
The MWE I used is as follows:
\starttext
\startMPpage
definecolor [ name = "MyColor3", r = uniformdeviate(1), g = uniformdeviate(1), b = uniformdeviate(1) ] ;
definecolor [ name = "MyColor4", r = uniformdeviate(1), g = uniformdeviate(1), b = uniformdeviate(1) ] ;
draw lmt_shade [
path = fullsquare scaled 5cm,
direction = "up",
alternative = "linear",
colors = { "red", "green" },
];
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

 I'm using:

system          > ConTeXt  ver: 2024.02.14 13:38 LMTX  fmt: 2024.2.15  int: english/english

on a mac mini M1.

Any thougths?


On an Mac running  ConTeXt  ver: 2023.09.26 18:19 LMTX  fmt: 2023.12.11 , this works perfectly. 

Best wishes
