That's it, but how do I center it on (0, 0)?
Sorry, I misunderstood the question. Here is a solution (perhaps there is
a simpler solution !):
\startMPpage
picture TheImage ;
TheImage := image(
draw externalfigure "cow.pdf";
);
TheImage := TheImage shifted -center(TheImage);
draw TheImage ;
draw (0,0) withpen pencircle scaled .2in withcolor magenta ;
\stopMPpage

Dear list,
I would like to place a pdf file at (0, 0), centered at original size
on a MPpage, and draw over it. But using the input command doesn't work.
How should I approach this?
Like this ?
\startMPpage
       draw externalfigure "thefile.pdf";
       (… other commands…)
\stopMPpage
Sincerely,
Stefan
Fabrice.
