I think this is one way:
\startuseMPgraphic{ARule}
draw origin -- (\MPvar{mylength},0) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\def\ARule#1{%
\setupMPvariables[ARule][mylength=#1]
\useMPgraphic{ARule}
}
\starttext
Foo \ARule{5mm} bar \ARule{10mm}
\stoptext

Dear all,
I need to use many rules with different lengths. Is there any way to implement function like below:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{ARule}{length} draw origin -- (\MPvar{length},0) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic
\uniqueMPgraphic[length=5mm]{ARule}
The example cannot be run. I only use it to explain what I want.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Best wishes, Wei-Wei ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!
