Command/MPdrawing

\MPdrawing

Summary

The command \MPdrawing is used for Metapost inline graphics.

Settings

\MPdrawing{...}
{...}	content

Description

Similar to the environment \startMPdrawing.

It was introduced in 2010 to reduce needed calls with lua. Source: https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/message/AIAWMGBFQQ5QPKNPOPDKFE4U3P4DZJDY/

With \startMPdrawing :

\startluacode
  context.startMPdrawing()
  context("fill fullcircle scaled 2cm withcolor darkyellow;")
  context.stopMPdrawing()
  context("text before")
  context.MPdrawingdonetrue()
  context.getMPdrawing()
  context("text after")
\stopluacode

Reminder: we call up the drawing with \getMPdrawing, but first we have to inform the compiler that our METAPOST drawing is completed with \MPdrawingdonetrue.

With \MPdrawing :

\startluacode
  context.MPdrawing("fill fullcircle scaled 2cm withcolor darkgreen;")
  context("text before")
  context.MPdrawingdonetrue()
  context.getMPdrawing()
  context("text after")
\stopluacode
