I've encountered a MetaPost issue, and since many MetaPost users also use ConTeXt (and vice-versa), I am posting this question on both lists.<br><br>The command<br><br>> show identity rotated 270 yscaled 0.5;<br><br>
outputs<br><br>(0,0,0,1,-0.5,0)<br><br>as expected, while the command<br><br>> show identity transformed (0,0,0,1,-0.5,0);<br><br>errors with<br><br>---<br>! Missing `)' has been inserted.<br><to be read again> <br>
,<br>l.26 ^^Ishow identity transformed (0,0,0,1,<br> -0.5,0);<br>---<br><br>I am using MetaPost 1.504, and the problem seems to be that MetaPost does not like me using the sextuple (0,0,0,1,-0.5,0) directly, but this is the most convenient method for me to describe my transformations. Is this a bug in MetaPost, or am I not allowed to use transformations directly with sextuples?<br>
