Hi Alex,

Maybe there are other ways, but one can use \includeMPgraphic. One
simple example given below.

/Mikael

\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{vanderwaerdenbas}
u:=3cm ;

def vdwbas(expr x) = abs(x-round x) enddef ;

def vdw(expr n,x) =
  if n = 0:
    vdwbas(x)
  else:
    vdwbas(x*pow(4,n))/pow(4,n)
  fi
enddef ;

path xaxis, yaxis ;
xaxis = ((-1.1,0)--(1.1,0)) scaled u ;
yaxis = ((0,-0.1)--(0,0.6)) scaled u ;

drawarrow xaxis withpen pencircle scaled 0.25 ;
drawarrow yaxis withpen pencircle scaled 0.25 ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\startuseMPgraphic{vanderwaerden0}
\includeMPgraphic{vanderwaerdenbas}
draw function(1,"x","vdw(0,x)",epsed(-1),epsed(1),1/1000) scaled u ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\startuseMPgraphic{vanderwaerden1}
\includeMPgraphic{vanderwaerdenbas}
