Compiling a large metapost document

Compiling a large metapost document

[Stefan Nedeljkovic via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 340 bytes --]

Dear list,

I have a large .tex file with metapost embedded in it and want to compile
it, but it fails. Here is a link to the file (~12MB):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t-6mxFmGp-nzpl0RrPgNFq8KRvpplgDv/view?usp=sharing

Do you know of a way to compile it?
BTW, the file is automatically generated by a Python script.

Sincerely,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

What exactly are you asking for help with?

The previous file was 12MB and simply ran out of resource when compiled. The new file is 812KB and compiles provided you remove the references to \setxheight[...] because \setxheight generates an error.

Sorry, i just updated the file, should now compile, but fail due to
resources. Are the configuration options to context that would enable this
file to be compiled?

The question still stands: what do you expect us to do? Hunt for a 
problem through a huge file? What have you done to identify this 
problem? Is there a minimal example?

Re: Compiling a large metapost document

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1687 bytes --]

The problem *is* the file size. There is not a minimal example,
because everything works when there is less drawdot commands. There is
125000+ drawdot commands in the file.
The run ends with the message:
If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to
enlarge me.
mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 1

I really don't know how to "enlarge" LMTX, so my question is not about
debugging the file, but rather compiling it. The current version of the
file should produce no syntax etc. errors. I accidentally uploaded the
wrong file twice, now it should be fixed, and you should get the same
message in the console as me.

Excuse me: you want me to download a huge file, from an unknown author, 
that may or may not contain all sorts of things. You want me to compile 
this file on my computer. To obtain an error message that you could have 
mentioned in your first message. Why? Why don't you search the list 
archives with the key words "enlarge capacity"? I still don't understand 
what you expect us to do.

Dear Thomas,

I'm sorry for all the shortcomings of my question. I'll try to be more
concrete. If you won't download my file, could you at least give me a hint
on how to configure LMTX?

I Tried editing the file context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua, and running
context --generate, context --make, but the error persists. I'm new to
context and I don't know how to configure this file. Running --usage
reveals in the log that the category "token" is exceeded. I tried the
aforementioned editing of the conf file, but the log stays the same.

Sincerely,
Stefan

For the benefit of others, the error is:

tex memory      > bumping category 'token' failed, details: all=80000000 | ini=495183 | max=10000000 | mem=10000000 | min=1000000 | ptr=10002079 | set=10000000 | stp=250000 | top=10000000

I can't see where max token memory is defined to try and increase it. The only reference seems to be in ~/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt but uncommenting and increasing had no obvious effect.

Just use plain MetaPost:

     diff --git a/belgrade_gm.tex b/belgrade_gm.mp
     index 3281754..d536b64 100644
     --- a/belgrade_gm.tex

     -\stopMPpage
     \ No newline at end of file
     +endfig; end;

Then compile with:
     
     mpost belgrade_gm
     ps2pdf belgrade_gm.1

Thank you very much Max! It works indeed! One more question. How would I
import the eps file back into MPpage, so I could do trickery with text.

Convert the PostScript file into PDF with either "ps2pdf" or 
GhostScript, then you can import the file with "externalfigure":

     \startMPpage
         draw externalfigure "belgrade_gm.pdf";
         draw textext.top("One") shifted (264.352, 116.362);
         draw textext.top("Two") shifted (306.821, 186.907);
     \stopMPpage

There is one more problem: the pdf generated has incorrect margins. I tried
to manually calculate the size in ps points and run gs directly, but the
results are the same. How can I get an accurate rendering of the page?

I figured it out. I was wrongly calculating the page size argument for gs.

That is the correct file, and I would assume that the category 
"luametatex.tokensize" (line 135) would be the correct one to edit. Is 
that the one you've edited, e.g. by bumping size to double its current 
value?

I just bumped it to double the size, did mtxrun --reload, context
--generate and the error is still
tex memory      > bumping category 'token' failed, details: all=80000000 |
ini=4
We ran into troubles scanning an argument.

due to a mail server crash i lost todays and last nights mail sop here s 
a partial reply

(Just put that large mp blob in a file and call that one instead of 
passing through tex's tokenizer:

\startMPpage
     input test.mp ;
\stopMPpage

then in order to save runtime do

draw image (
draw (220.852, 127.175) ;
draw (226.248, 128.606) ;
draw (221.840, 129.541) ;
draw (280.733, 100.927) ;
draw (276.968, 83.053) ;
draw (251.644, 83.879) ;
) withpen pencircle scaled 0.16875 withcolor (0.976, 0.702, 0.204) ;
