Hi, I’m trying to “translate” the documentation of “fiziko”* from LaTeX to ConTeXt and would like to avoid the doubling of MP code like:

\startMP path p; p := (0,0){dir(30)}..(5cm, 0)..{dir(30)}(10cm, 0); draw brush (p)(2minStrokeWidth*sin(offsetPathLength*pi)); \stopMP

\startMPcode path p; p := (0,0){dir(30)}..(5cm, 0)..{dir(30)}(10cm, 0); draw brush (p)(2minStrokeWidth*sin(offsetPathLength*pi)); \stopMPcode

I’m quite sure there’s a possibility with buffers, but how?

\startbuffer path p; p := (0,0){dir(30)}..(5cm, 0)..{dir(30)}(10cm, 0); draw brush (p)(2minStrokeWidth*sin(offsetPathLength*pi)); \stopbuffer

\typebuffer

... and then how do I get the MP graphic? \processMPbuffer
