\defineMPinstance

Syntax

\defineMPinstance[...][...][...]
[...] name
[...] name for inheritance (optional)
[...] see \setupMPinstance


Description

This command sets up a custom MetaPost style with particular features that can be selected using the first argument. The instance metafun is the default one and does not need to be created. However, custom styles can inherit from the metafun instance.

Example

\defineMPinstance
  [important]
  [metafun] % needs to be inherited from the global metafun instance
  [textcolor=red]

\defineMPinstance
  [veryimportant]
  [important]
  [textstyle=bold]

\starttext

% normal black text
\startMPcode
  draw textext("some text") ;
\stopMPcode

% red text
\startMPcode{important}
  draw textext("some text") ;
\stopMPcode

% red bold text
\startMPcode{veryimportant}
  draw textext("some text") ;
\stopMPcode

\stoptext
