This gives me two red paths (result attached). I would like the right one to be darkyellow.
image create a picture that is then drawn with 'draw' at which time the drawoptions are applied, like this:
\startMPpage drawoptions(withcolor darkred); path p; p:= (0,0)--(1cm,1cm)--(1cm,0)--(0,1cm); picture q ; q := image ( draw p; draw p xshifted 2cm withcolor darkyellow; ); draw q withcolor darkgreen ; \stopMPpage
You can try this:
\startMPpage property prp ; prp := properties (withcolor darkred) ; path p; p:= (0,0)--(1cm,1cm)--(1cm,0)--(0,1cm); draw image ( draw p withproperties prp ; draw p xshifted 2cm withcolor darkyellow; ); \stopMPpage

Thanks again for you reply, Hans. That confirms somehow that I cannot do as I was hoping to. I was thinking in setting a default color \startMPinitializations drawoptions(withcolor darkred); \stopMPinitializations since the document I write has about 50 graphics, and most of it will be in a certain color. But I will simply not set a default color and use withcolor (or withproperties, since I guess they can hold more settings like dashing and so on) manually in each figure. /Mikael
