Hello,

I need a simple graphic that shows some boxes (frames) with text in it and has some arrows pointing to and from these boxes. (examples 267 and 268 on this page [1]) I was hoping to do this in MetaPost.

Earlier this year this question went un-answered on this list: "How to use boxit MetaPost macros with ConTeXt minimals?"

So, is there a solution or do I have to use label.rt(btex \framed[width=3cm,align=middle]{Text} etex, (1u,1.5u));

draw thetextext.rt("\framed[width=3cm,align=middle]{Text}",(1u,1.5u)) I never used the boxit macros but if they are normal mp they should just work; otherwise post a mininimal example (more change of an answer).
