indeed, another option is to replace more of mp's color stuff by context but then we may end up in other problems

I'm guessing that pdftex+lua will make it easier to meld tex and metapost.

not really, for that we need mp as a library (we did experiments with simulating that but it's kind of tricky) concerning lua ... i do have a mkiv file on my machine that uses lua to parse the mp output (precursor to mp natively spitting out such code); currently its a bit slower (two step conversion ps -> lua -> tex) but when using many pen shapes its faster because then we don't need the tex based concat code; also, less (and cleaner) code is needed for parsing Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
