Hi,
Why does (1) compile, whereas (2) doesn't?
I can't understand why can MPinclusions store path and not pairs.
%%%%%%%%%%%% (1) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setuppapersize[A4,landscape]
\startMPinclusions
u:=1mm ;
%fond
path p ;
p:= (0,0) -- (150u,0) -- (150u,95u) -- (0,95u) -- cycle ;
pair x[] ;
x[0]:= (20u,90u) ;
x[1]:= (40u,90u) ;
x[2]:= (90u,90u) ;
x[3]:= (140u,90u) ;
\stopMPinclusions
\startreusableMPgraphic{test}
draw p ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
\reuseMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%% (1) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setuppapersize[A4,landscape]
\startMPinclusions
u:=1mm ;
%fond
path p ;
p:= (0,0) -- (150u,0) -- (150u,95u) -- (0,95u) -- cycle ;
pair x[] ;
x[0]:= (20u,90u) ;
x[1]:= (40u,90u) ;
x[2]:= (90u,90u) ;
x[3]:= (140u,90u) ;
\stopMPinclusions
\startreusableMPgraphic{test}
draw p ;
for i=0 step 1 until 3 :
drawdot x[i] ;
endfor ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
\reuseMPgraphic{test}
More generaly, which kind of variables cannot be stored in
\startMPinclusions ?
Thanks,
Damien Thiriet

those that are likely to clash later
\startMPinclusions
vardef MyStuff =
numeric u;
u:=1mm ;
path p ;
p:= (0,0) -- (150u,0) -- (150u,95u) -- (0,95u) -- cycle ;
pair x[] ;
x[0]:= (20u,90u) ;
x[1]:= (40u,90u) ;
x[2]:= (90u,90u) ;
x[3]:= (140u,90u) ;
enddef ;
\stopMPinclusions
\startreusableMPgraphic{test}
save p, u, x ;
MyStuff ;
draw p ;
for i=0 step 1 until 3 :
drawdot x[i] ;
endfor ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
\reuseMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext
but in your case you could as well put the inclusions in the test
graphic itself
\startreusableMPgraphic{test}
save p, u, x ;
numeric u;
u:=1mm ;
path p ;
p:= (0,0) -- (150u,0) -- (150u,95u) -- (0,95u) -- cycle ;
pair x[] ;
x[0]:= (20u,90u) ;
x[1]:= (40u,90u) ;
x[2]:= (90u,90u) ;
x[3]:= (140u,90u) ;
draw p ;
for i=0 step 1 until 3 :
drawdot x[i] ;
endfor ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
\reuseMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext

For me, both compile. However (2) does not work.
1. Variable names x and y are special and cleared before
every graphic. This is related to the fact that “z" is
defined as a shortcut for "(x,y)”. Both of these are
traditional.
Every metapost graphic does at least this at its start:
save x,y;
currentpicture := nullpicture;
currentpen:=defaultpen;
so pair xx[]; would have worked just fine.
In general, I would advice to stay away from single-letter
variable names inside MPinclusions, and use CamelCase
to avoid clashes with metafun internals.
2. You need a bigger pen to actually see the dots even if
you change the variable name. :)
Best wishes,
Taco
