Re: [NTG-context] Passing text to Metapost functions

Hans,

I've tried various things without much success. I cannot seem to access the contents of xlbl below.

Is this approach ever going to work?

I can make your example work by passing the argument as a true metapost string: * remove the \MPstring command: draw textext.origin(xlbl); * create_axes(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,ux,uy)("x"); But it is out of sync: you always have to call texexec twice whenever you make changes. Cheers, Taco
