I'm playing with simple files in order to learn metafun. The following small example produces an undefined figure. It illustrates either a context problem or, more likely, a confusion on my part. ================= cut here =========================================== \runMPgraphicstrue \starttext \startreusableMPgraphic{a} fill fullcircle scaled 2cm; \stopreusableMPgraphic \placefigure[here,none]{}{\reuseMPgraphic{a}} \input tufte \stoptext ================= cut here =========================================== The figure is a square saying 'undefined'. Taking away the \runMPgraphicstrue line produces the expected filled circle. I use a web2c distribution (linux) with context version 2006.08.08 21:51, TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD It passes the write18 test given in the metafun-s.pdf manual (p.214 of the PDF file). -Sanjoy `A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.' - Bertrand de Jouvenal
