Hi All I am new to the Metapost and Context world, and need some help regarding the inclusion of Metapost graphics in ConTeXt documents. I am trying a very simple approach, using a graphic as a background. Here's my sample (using a very basic metapost graphic as a page background in a document): Metapost: ======== beginfig(0); theta := 360/7; radius := 1in; z0 = origin; z1 = z0 + dir(90)*radius; z2 = z0 + dir(90 + theta)*radius; z3 = z0 + dir(90 + 2*theta)*radius; z4 = z0 + dir(90 + 3*theta)*radius; z5 = z0 + dir(90 + 4*theta)*radius; z6 = z0 + dir(90 + 5*theta)*radius; z7 = z0 + dir(90 + 6*theta)*radius; draw z1 -- z2 -- z3 -- z4 -- z5 -- z6 -- z7 -- cycle; endfig; end; ConTeXt (after running mpost on the metapost graphic to generate the hexagon.0 file): ===================================================================== \defineoverlay [backg] [{\externalfigure[hexagon.0][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]}] \starttext \noheaderandfooterlines \setupbackgrounds[page][background=backg] %\placefigure %{none} %{\externalfigure[hexagon.0][width=12cm]} \stoptext Thanks in advance Syed
