At TUG 2003 you showed us how to use use a color filled fullcircle as a background. Is there a roundedrectangle. I've looked in the METAFun documentation and can find nothing. I would like to make something like the attached pdf and figured MetaFun can do that.

\setupoutput[pdftex] \startuniqueMPgraphic{rounded} path p ; p := OverlayBox smoothed 2pt ; fill p withcolor OverlayColor ; draw p withpen pencircle scaled OverlayLineWidth withcolor OverlayLineColor ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[rounded][\uniqueMPgraphic{rounded}] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \framed [background=rounded, frame=off, framecolor=green, rulethickness=1pt, backgroundcolor=red] {test me} \stoptext

Is it okay to ask newbie questions on the mailing list. I have been reading the list for about 10 days and see almost no newbies. Everyone seems to be very expert.

just go ahead and ask!
