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?
