\setupMPinstance

Syntax

\setupMPinstance[...][...,...=...,...]
[...]	name
format	metafun mpost
extensions	yes no
initializations	yes no
textstyle	bold sans mono …
textcolor	color spec
setups

Description

This command sets up the default MetaPost instance metafun or a custom MetaPost instance previously defined with \defineMPinstance.

The extensions and initializations keys control whether the content of the \startMPextensions and \startMPinitializations environment is used or ignored in the metapost code.

• • Note**: the textstyle and textcolor keys only work when initializations=yes is set.

Usage

To print all MetaPost labels in red:

\setupMPinstance [metafun] [textcolor=red]

\starttext

\startMPcode
  draw textext("some text") ;
\stopMPcode

\stoptext

Another example using the setups key:

\defineMPinstance
  [mpinstanceprefixed]
  [metafun]
  [setups=mp:instanceprefix:one, textcolor=red]

\startsetups mp:instanceprefix:one
   prefix:\space
\stopsetups

\starttext

\startMPcode
  draw textext("normal text") ;
\stopMPcode

\startMPcode{mpinstanceprefixed}
  draw textext("red text") ;
\stopMPcode

\stoptext

produces
