But: is it possible to import an external figure inside metapost giving it a precise place in terms of xy coordinates?

Sure: externalfigure "filename.pdf" xyscaled (theWidth, theHeight) shifted (theLowerLeftX, theLowerLeftY); (However, I don't know if there's a way to include a picture without the need to provide width and height explicitly.) Mojca
