can you be a bit more explicit
I might be able to help since I had this problem with scaling external figures in mpost MetaFun.
In ConTeXt \externalfigure[xxx.pdf] brings in a picture at the size of the picture. Scaling modifies that size.
how about
scaled 2 xscaled 2 yscaled 5 xyscaled (2,5)
and
xsized 2cm ysized 4cm xysized (2cm,4cm)
\getfiguredimensions[...] \let\MyFigWid\figurewidth \let\MyFigHei\figureheight
....
xysized(\MyFigWid,\MyFigHei)
ahh, interesting. A plain metapost way as described in my other mail would be possible if i could run pdftex after the mpost run and run afterwards mpost again. How this could be done? Jens
