Take the following MetaPost file:

Render it into PDF with ConTeXt. Witness the cut out ends of the arrow. How to fix that?
Being able to add some margin would be a solution, which may be desirable anyway in some cases. Is that possible?
Enlarge the bounds of your picture –
beginfig(0); ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5;
setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 5mm; endfig;
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! (I did find out about \startMPpage[offset=3pt], but that requires me to include my MetaPost file into an additional, somewhat superfluous TeX file. And for better editor support I prefer to edit the MetaPost in a .mp file, rather than embedded in a .tex.) Vincent
