Using a fresh install of ConTeXt Minimals today (ConTeXt version
2011.07.14 16:09, luatex version beta-0.70.1-2011051918) I am trying
to build the following MetaPost graphics:
---8<--- file: test.mp
fontmapfile "=lm-math.map" ;
beginfig(1)
draw fullcircle scaled 3cm ;
endfig ;
beginfig(2) ;
fill fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor red ;
endfig ;
beginfig(3);
numeric u;
u = 1cm;
draw (0,2u)--(0,0)--(4u,0);
pickup pencircle scaled 1pt;
draw (0,0){up}
for i=1 upto 8: ..(i/2,sqrt(i/2))*u endfor;
label.lrt(btex $\sqrt x$ etex, (3,sqrt 3)*u);
label.bot(btex $x$ etex, (2u,0));
label.lft(btex $y$ etex, (0,u));
endfig;
end .
---8<---
Building the file using "mpost test.mp" I get the following:
This is MetaPost, version 1.504 (kpathsea version 6.0.0)
(mpost.mp (/opt/tools/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf/metapost/base/plain.mp
Preloading the plain mem file, version 1.004))
(./test.mp{pdftex.map}{lm-math.map} [1]
[2]/opt/tools/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:570:in
`locateseries': undefined method `each' for "tex":String

`<main>'
>> test.mp
>> test.mpx
! Unable to make mpx file.
l.18 label.lrt(btex
$\sqrt x$ etex, (3,sqrt 3)*u);
2 output files written: test.1 .. test.2
The first two graphics are produced correctly, but there is no output
for the third graphic with the labels.
Building the file using "texexec --mptex test.mp" all three graphics
are produced, but the label $\sqrt x$ does not produce the square root
symbol.
Am I doing something obviously wrong? Can anyone reproduce this?
Thanks,
Kevin

That's way \startMPpage..\stopMPpage is better. -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
