i want to produce a gradient header
i tried this code but it does not produce any result:

\startext
\def\Mystyle#1{\startMPcode
   picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
   kind = "path",
   text = "#1",
   ] ;
   fill
       for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle
          withshademethod "linear"
          withshadedirection up
          withshadecolors (red, blue) ;
\stopMPcode
}

\definehead[Myhead][section]
\setuphead[Myhead][
   style=\Mystyle,
]
\startMyhead[title=sample] a sample text \stopMyhead
\stoptext

You can't use commands with parameters as argument for the style key.

To format single parts (number or title) of a section title you have to apply a command to the "deep...command" key but even then you have to make manual changes to the vertical alignment of the text.

%%%% begin example
\starttexdefinition spaces Mystyle #1
  \setbox\scratchboxone\hbox{#1}%
  \setbox\scratchboxtwo\hbox\bgroup
    \startMPcode
      picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
        kind = "path",
        text = "#1",
      ];
    fill
      for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle
      withshademethod "linear"
      withshadedirection up
      withshadecolors (red, blue) ;
    \stopMPcode
  \egroup
  \boxyoffset\scratchboxtwo-\dp\scratchboxone
  \box\scratchboxtwo
\stoptexdefinition

\starttext

\setuphead
  [section]
  [
     deeptextcommand=\Mystyle,
%  deepnumbercommand=\Mystyle,
  ]

\startsection[title=Lorem ipsum]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stopsection

\stoptext
%%%% end example

and the code below works but does not colorize numbers of this heads:
\starttext
\def\Mystyle#1{\startMPcode
   picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
   kind = "path",
   text = "#1",
   ] ;
   fill
       for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle
          withshademethod "linear"
          withshadedirection up
          withshadecolors (red, blue) ;
\stopMPcode
}
\def\startMysection#1{\startsection[title=\Mystyle{#1}]}
\def\stopMysection{\stopsection}
\startMysection{hello}
what is best method?
\stopMysection
\stoptext

what is your suggestion?

To apply the format the the complete section title you have to create your own style and apply it with the "command" key, to get the number and title for the current section use the \structurenumber and \structuretitle macros.

%%%% begin example
\starttexdefinition spaces protected Mystyle #1#2
  \startMPcode
    picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
      kind = "path",
      text = "\structurenumber\space\structuretitle",
    ];
  fill
    for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle
    withshademethod "linear"
    withshadedirection up
    withshadecolors (red, blue) ;
  \stopMPcode
\stoptexdefinition

\starttext

\setuphead
  [section]
  [command=\Mystyle]

\startsection[title=Lorem ipsum]
\samplefile{lorem}
\stopsection

\stoptext
%%%% end example
