Re: [NTG-context] How to add margin around standalone MetaPost?

Hi, Not sure if I understand the problem correctly. You could try \starttext \startMPpage[offset=3pt] ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5; \stopMPpage \startMPpage[offset=1cm] ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5; \stopMPpage \stoptext Compile with context. /Mikael On Fri, May 20, 2022 at 7:07 PM Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context wrote:

Take the following MetaPost file:

beginfig(0) ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5; endfig;

Render it into PDF with ConTeXt. Witness the cut out ends of the arrow. How to fix that?

Being able to add some margin would be a solution, which may be desirable anyway in some cases. Is that possible?

Thanks, Vincent
