I'm trying to use with Context makecirc a metapost library to draw
electric circuits, but I have problems with the labels of the circuits
element that are not displayed correctly.
FIRST EXAMPLE (No labels are displayed)
-------------
\starttext
\startMPinclusions
input makecirc;
\stopMPinclusions
\startstaticMPfigure{circ1}
u:= 1cm ;
source.e((0,0u),DC,90,"\Delta V","2V") ;
resistor.a((2u,1u),normal,90,"R_1","1$\Omega$") ;
resistor.b((2u,-1u),normal,90,"R_2","2$\Omega$") ;
wire(S.e.p,R.a.r,udsq) ;
wire(S.e.n,R.b.l,udsq) ;
wire(R.a.l,R.b.r,udsq) ;
\stopstaticMPfigure
\usestaticMPfigure[circ1]
\stoptext
-----------------
SECOND EXAMPLE (In the first circuit are displayed the labels of the
second one and in the second only ?? are displayed)
-----------------
\starttext
\startstaticMPfigure{circ1}
input makecirc;
u:= 1cm ;
source.e((0,0u),DC,90,"\Delta V","2V") ;
resistor.a((2u,1u),normal,90,"R_1","1$\Omega$") ;
resistor.b((2u,-1u),normal,90,"R_2","2$\Omega$") ;
wire(S.e.p,R.a.r,udsq) ;
wire(S.e.n,R.b.l,udsq) ;
wire(R.a.l,R.b.r,udsq) ;
\stopstaticMPfigure
\usestaticMPfigure[circ1]
\startstaticMPfigure{circ2}
input makecirc;
u:= 1cm ;
source.e((0,0u),DC,90,"\Delta V","4V") ;
resistor.a((2u,1u),normal,90,"R_3","3$\Omega$") ;
resistor.b((2u,-1u),normal,90,"R_4","4$\Omega$") ;
wire(S.e.p,R.a.r,udsq) ;
wire(S.e.n,R.b.l,udsq) ;
wire(R.a.l,R.b.r,udsq) ;
\stopstaticMPfigure
\usestaticMPfigure[circ2]
\stoptext

I searched ctab for that library and it has soem hard wired latex stuff
in it. You can make latex.mp empty (to play safe),
Load the file with:
\startMPinclusions
string LaTeXsetup ; LaTeXsetup := "";
input "makecirc.mp";
vardef latex(expr t) = textext(t) enddef ;
\stopMPinclusions
I didn't look into the details but yoru example runs then.

Thank you,
I didn't understand the magic behind that but it's works.
Another question: there is a library to draw electrics circuit
alternative to makecirc but more context/metafun friendly?

mp has no real text typesetting options so this hack provides it

the node library but it lacks things for drawing resistors ... i'll
discuss this whith alan

Why not
let latex=textext ;

I played with makecirc a while back (and I even used it to make simple circuit diagrams that I used in a patent application). A real electronic circuit drawing program these days will do circuit board layouts and automatic routing, etc. I'm not sure that we want to get into this with MP.

That crashed here.

I assume only for some simple educational drawings.

In fact, when I used makecirc.mp, I just commented out the following few lines at the head of the file:
%input latex;
%
% Commands definitions to do the labeled easier %
%
%LaTeXsetup:=LaTeXsetup &
%"\def\ohm{\ensuremath{\,\Omega}}" &
%"\def\kohm{\,k\ensuremath{\Omega}}" &
%"\def\modarg#1#2{\setbox0=\hbox{$\mkern-1mu/#2^\circ$}" &
%"\dp0=.21ex $#1\underline{\box0}$}";
and everything worked (the macros use label() for text).
