I'm trying to insert some coloured text inside Metapost labels. I'm a plain TeX user. To get coloured text with plain TeX you just need to \input the file color.tex into the tex file and then say, for example, \textcolor{red}{Hi!} It works perfectly. Now, with Metapost I tried to follow exeactly what is said on page 21 of John Hobby's Metapost manual: my metapost input file looks something like this: verbatimtex \input color.tex etex beginfig(1); . . label(btex \textcolor{red}{Hi} etex,z2); . . No complain, no error message; but in the .ps file there's `Hi' normally black, not coloured. What can I do?

You can use the package "latexmp", available on CTAN, which allows for parametrizable text, and for multicoloured labels. Alternatively you can take a look at the method explained at http://ltx.blogspot.com/2003_09_01_ltx_archive.html#106425083726331540 which requires to download the source code of metapost and applying it a patch. After this, your example would produce the text in red as expected (the mentioned website is in spanish, but I can post here a translation if required) Regards, ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose Luis Diaz de Arriba e-mail: jdiaz@atc.uniovi.es -----------------------------------------------------------------------
