Import a metapost extension

Import a metapost extension

[Fabrice Couvreur]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 383 bytes --]

Hello
Is it possible to import a metapost extension into a file compiled with the
lmtx engine ?
I tried unsuccessfully with this example :

%%%% begin test.tex

\starttext
\startMPcode
  input mp-scratch;

    Scratchversion:=3;

draw Drapeau;
draw Repeter("4");
draw Avancer("50");
draw Tournerd("90");
draw FinBlocRepeter;

\stopMPcode
\stoptext

%%%% end test.tex

Thanks
Fabrice

Hi,

I think you need this:

\startMPinclusions
  input mp-scratch;
\stopMPinclusions

\startMPcode
  Scratchversion:=3;
  ….

If that also doesn’t work, perhaps attach the log file / terminal output to a new message.

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi Taco,
Thank you for your help. I specify that this extension works perfectly by
compiling the following file.

input mp-scratch;

Scratchversion:=3;

beginfig(1);
  draw Drapeau;
  draw Repeter("4");
  draw Avancer("100");
  draw Tournerd("90");
  draw FinBlocRepeter;
  endfig;
end


But what you are proposing unfortunately does not work.

what if you add a suffix:

   input "mp-scratch.mp" ;

maybe the path you look for is not part of the search path either

    mtxrun --expand-path MPINPUTS

A logfile of a failed run would have been more helpful in trying to track down the problem. But I did notice that there is a LaTeX file loaded in your succesful run. So perhaps the extension depends on LaTeX?

I looked for the file online [1] and it uses LaTeX commands (even 
begin/end blocks) for all text boxes.

Hello,
That's okay, I'll compile the files with mpost and do an image insert. Thanks
for your help.
