Is it possible to get ConTeXt (MKIV) to automatically crop out the whitespace from its PDF output? I know that I can use the external utility `pdfcrop`, but I was wondering if this is possible with ConTeXt itself. This would be useful when generating MetaPost graphics where the graphic is the only thing in the ConTeXt output.

\startTEXpage arbitrary tex code \stopTEXpage \startMPpage arbitrary mp code \stopMPpage both commands take the same arguments as \framed, so you can say \setupMPpage[offset=3mm] .. \stopMPpage to get a slightly loose bounding box. Aditya
