I reduced your minimal example slightly further:

\startuseMPgraphic{figram} StartPage; fill Field[Text][Text]; StopPage; \stopuseMPgraphic

\starttext \useMPgraphic{figram}

%% using the graphic a second time fails %% \useMPgraphic{figram} \stoptext

...

I hoped that the frame would be recalculated at every page.

That's not how uniqueMPgraphics work.

Thank you Marco for giving a better example. I thought that uniqueMPgraphic meant it was redrawn everytime while useMPgraphic meant it was done once and then gave the same result everytime used. I probably misunderstood something in the MetaFun manual. In any case: Is there a way to get different frames for every page in a random way? /Mikael

Using \startuseMPgraphic is the correct way, since you want the graphic to be recalculated every time. I have no clue why this fails at the moment. It works fine in older versions, so I assume it's a bug.

Ok, thank you Marco. Hans, is this a bug? Has something changed? /Mikael

I don't know .. no example

I provided an example in http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/071552.html However, it seems to be fixed in a recent beta. At least it works for me. Marco

Hi Mikael,

your original example works for me with a current beta if you replace uniqueMPgraphic with useMPgraphic.
