However, there is a numeric MagDecl variable in MetaPost (see the chapter New map symbols in the thbook). Martin On Sat, Jun 4, 2016 at 1:05 PM, Dirk Peinelt <dirk.peinelt@t-online.de> wrote:
Is there a way to handle the content of the \magdecl TEX-variable in METAPOST? (Therion V5.3.16)
In a string or numeric? ? I think, i?ve an syntax problem?
1.) string handling:
string dec;
%dec:=?3.022?; % FINE!
dec:=\magdecl; % ERROR
p_label.top(thTEX(dec),(0,0),0,8); % >> string output
2.) numeric handling:
numeric dec;
%dec:=3.022; % FINE!
dec:=\magdecl; % ERROR
p_label.top(thTEX(decimal dec),(0,0),0,8); % >> numeric to string output
