Hi All<div>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&#39;s my sample (using a very basic metapost graphic as a page background in a document):</div>
<div><br></div><div>Metapost:</div><div>========</div><div><div>beginfig(0);</div><div>theta := 360/7;</div><div>radius := 1in;</div><div>z0 = origin;</div><div>z1 = z0 + dir(90)*radius;</div><div>z2 = z0 + dir(90 + theta)*radius;</div>
<div>z3 = z0 + dir(90 + 2*theta)*radius;</div><div>z4 = z0 + dir(90 + 3*theta)*radius;</div><div>z5 = z0 + dir(90 + 4*theta)*radius;</div><div>z6 = z0 + dir(90 + 5*theta)*radius;</div><div>z7 = z0 + dir(90 + 6*theta)*radius;</div>
<div>draw z1 -- z2 -- z3 -- z4 -- z5 -- z6 -- z7</div><div>-- cycle;</div><div>endfig;</div><div>end;</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>ConTeXt (after running mpost on the metapost graphic to generate  the hexagon.0 file):</div>
