Since plain metapost doesn't know about ConTeXt (metafun) extentions,
you need to:
- either add a line "input metafun ;" at the top of your metapost files
- or run "mptopdf seminar.mp" which will run metapost+create PDF
instead of running "mpost/mp seminar.mp" first and convert to PDF
later
When including a picture in ConTeXt, one options could also be to use:
\framed[frame=off,offset=1cm,strut=no,background=color,backgroundcolor=white]%
{\externalfigure[...]}
But that's slightly long and tedious, unless you write your own macro
wrapper around it.
