That's it, but how do I center it on (0, 0)? On Sat, Jun 11, 2022 at 4:46 PM Fabrice L wrote:

Dear list,

I would like to place a pdf file at (0, 0), centered at original size on a MPpage, and draw over it. But using the input command doesn't work. How should I approach this?

Like this ?

\startMPpage draw externalfigure "thefile.pdf"; (… other commands…) \stopMPpage

Sincerely, Stefan

Fabrice.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. Here is a solution (perhaps there is a simpler solution !):

\startMPpage picture TheImage ; TheImage := image( draw externalfigure "cow.pdf"; ); TheImage := TheImage shifted -center(TheImage); draw TheImage ; draw (0,0) withpen pencircle scaled .2in withcolor magenta ; \stopMPpage
