I used to put an invisible frame around figures in MetaPost by setting a pen scaled at 0pt. That left no trace, but defined the area. However I (now) see a thin line drawn by code:

pickup pencircle scaled 0pt; draw origin--(w,h);

Did I always mis this or has something changed? For example a roundoff away from zero in MetaPost? By the way I am typesetting through ConTeXT with \startMPpage … \stopMPpage.

Donno (as I never used this method). Better use 'setbounds currentpicture to' .. .. 'unitsquare xyscaled(w,h);' .. 'OverlayBox;' .. <whatever is squared>; at the end of your graphic. This simply sets the bounding box of you graphic and has no unwanted side effects.
