Hello again,
I have generated some ConTeXt documents with figures using MetaPost. The figures have labels which use \sometxt{}. Everything works beautifully! Now I have an unenlightened customer (he does not use ConTeXt) who wants to import my figures into his documents. He can accept eps or pdf files or any of the common graphics formats (png, gif, even svg I think). I have tried to generate the figures as standalone files in two ways:
1) I compiled the metapost to a PS file using "texexec --mptex file.mp". Unfortunately, the resulting figure does not have any labels, presumably because it isn't accessing TeX to generate them?
2) Inserted \starttext ... \stoptext around the metapost code and used ConTeXt to generate a PDF document. This is great except that each figure covers a full page.
Is there any way of sharing my figures with the unenlightened masses?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard I can only tell you what I usually do. My figures normally reside in an external file. At the bottom of this file I add; \starttext \startTEXpage \useMPgraphic{graphicnameA} \stopTEXpag \startTEXpage \useMPgraphic{graphicnameB} \stopTEXpag \stoptext In this way I get each graphic on a page cropped to the size of the original MP-image.
