Subject: Howto metapost textext set or change basepoint (origin) baseline of text
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 10:15:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d70419c4822f745c8df9c7fd884c9e1d72a8facb.camel@out-world.com> (raw)
Hi
I have the following problem. I convert a eps file using pstoedit into
meta post file. When running this file through mptopdf the resulting
pdf image is as expected. When i include, using the input command, the
file within a startMPcode endMPcode or startMPpage stopMPpage after
replacing simple draw <string>... by draw textext(<string) ... and
compile the tex file with context than texts inside the graphic are
schilfted bottom left.
To mee it seems as textext uses a different basepoint/baseline of the
text, than pstoedit assumed. Maybe in additon effects related to
differences in fonts may be additional reason.
My questions are
What keywords do i have to enter in google or the context garden wiki
search box to obtain examples and questions dealing with similar
aspects
How do i explicitly set the position of the text origin point within
the textbox/lable box used by textext. eg. assume origin point bottom
left, left on baseline, center in the middle etc.
What else might i bee missing or having a wrong idea how things are
done by netapost/metafun/context in this context?
Best
Xristoph
