Thank you, this almost works, but the title graphic (of thesis size) is not centered on the A4 paper, but in the lower right corner. How can I make it go to the right place?

\definepapersize[thesis][width=169mm, height=239mm] \setuppapersize[thesis][A4] \starttext \startMPgraphic % Some metafun \stopMPgraphic \loadcurrentMPgraphic{possibly something should go here?} \placeMPgraphic % Some text \stoptext

Untested, but how about

\loadcurrentMPgraphic %{width=\textwidth} %Try with and without textwidth \placefigure [here] {none} {\placeMPgraphic}

Yes, I tried that; with no arguments to \loadcurrentMPgraphic the thesis page is placed on the bottom of the A4 and not quite in the middle (?). with width=\textwidth or \makeupwidth the result is the same.

PS: In future, also copy to the list, others may have better idea on how to do this.

Yes, I had intended to, and thought I did, but apparently I am more trigger happy than I allow for ...

Thank you for your help, Johan

Dear expertise,

I have the following:

\definepapersize[thesis][width=169mm, height=239mm] \setuppapersize[thesis][A4] \setuplayout [location=middle, marking=on] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, location=marginedge, state=stop]

\starttext

% Title page \startMPpage % Some metafun \stopMPpage

% Some text \stoptext

The resulting pdf has a smaller first page (thesis size) while the rest are A4 with the thesis pages place centrally. I would like to see the title page placed on an A4 sheet as well. What am I doing wrong?

MPpage creates a page with dimensions equal to the bounding box of the graphic. If you want to center a MP figure on your title page, use \startMPgraphic
