Dear Yue,

Thank you for the reply.

...

why not process the base file figure each time before process each figure.

Yes, That is what I did. I am curious if there is a way of shorten the length of code which is less important.

you dont have to type the same code in each mp figure. see sec 3.4 of the metafun manual, you can processMPbuffer.

Thank you again.

Best regards,

Hello, I do not claim that this is the right way to do it, but if you draw figures with metafun, you can easily use macros to draw parts of figures or create snapshots of figures with currentpicture: \starttext \startMPcode picture a; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm; a := currentpicture; \stopMPcode \startMPcode draw a; draw fullsquare scaled 3cm; \stopMPcode \stoptext If you have external figures, then you can work with overlays as Hans pointed out.
