metapost “ missing `,' has been inserted.” compilation error












1















I'm quite new to this language and can't figure out the error in following code. Any help would be appreciated !



verbatimtex
documentclass{article}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{mathptmx}
begin{document}
etex;


input labelauto;
beginfig(1)

u := 10mm;
v := 0.8u;

for i=1 upto 5:
pickup pensquare scaled 0.6pt;
draw (-v*i,-0.1u)..(-v*i,0.1u)
withcolor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5);
draw (v*i,-0.1u)..(v*i,0.1u)
withcolor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5);


label.bot(textext("$" & (decimal (-v*i)) & "$"), (-v*i, -0.2u))
withcolor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5);
label.bot(textext("$" & (decimal (v*i)) & "$"), (v*i, -0.2u))
withcolor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5);
endfor;
endfig;

end


gives following error:



! Missing `,' has been inserted.
<to be read again>
(
<for(1)> ...hcolor(0.5,0.5,0.5);label.bot(textext(
"$"&(decimal(-v*(EXPR0)))&...
l.59 endfor
;
