I didn't understand the magic behind that but it's works.

mp has no real text typesetting options so this hack provides it

Why not let latex=textext ;

That crashed here.

Another question: there is a library to draw electrics circuit alternative to makecirc but more context/metafun friendly? the node library but it lacks things for drawing resistors ... i'll discuss this whith alan

I played with makecirc a while back (and I even used it to make simple circuit diagrams that I used in a patent application). A real electronic circuit drawing program these days will do circuit board layouts and automatic routing, etc. I'm not sure that we want to get into this with MP. I assume only for some simple educational drawings.
