How to box \useMPgraphic?
Hello all, I'd like to insert a little MetaPost square into the running text and properly align it vertically. So I tried: --- \startuseMPgraphic{square} draw unitsquare scaled StrutHeight; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext I want a square \raisebox{-\strutdepth}{\useMPgraphic{square}} in my running text. \stoptext --- Unfortunately, to no avail. TeX seems to be asking for some boxed content, so I tried to wrap the figure inclusion into a box: \hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}. It doesn't solve the problem either. What do I need to change? Oliver

I want a square \raisebox{-.5\strutdp}\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}} in my running text.

Thanks! I was close: if I had only left out the outer braces in {\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}} ... Oliver

\inframed[frame=off]{\useMPgraphic{square}}
What do I need to change?

Thanks! So is this the preferred command for all (horizontal) boxing related tasks in ConTeXt (over hbox)? Oliver
