Something like this:
\starttext
\startbuffer[square]
\startMPpage
draw fullsquare scaled 10 withcolor red ;
\stopMPpage
\stopbuffer
\typesetbufferonly[square]
\startbuffer[circle]
\startMPpage
draw fullcircle scaled 10 withcolor green ;
\stopMPpage
\stopbuffer
\typesetbuffer[circle]
\startbuffer[triangle]
\startMPpage
draw fulltriangle scaled 10 withcolor blue ;
\stopMPpage
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[list=triangle,prefix=no,file=triangle.tex]
\typesetfile[triangle.tex][]
\stoptext

Or you could write out a shell script while processing the run.
function moduledata.archimate(filename)
local root = xml.load(filename)
warnIfVerbose( "Processing %s", filename)
local shfile = io.open(tex.jobname.. ".sh", "w")
local i = 1
for view in xml.collected(root,"diagrams/view") do
local viewName = xml.text(view,"/name")
shfile:write(string.format('mutool merge -o "%s.pdf" %s "%s.pdf" ',
viewName, i, tex.jobname))
i = i + 1
….
end
shfile:close()
and process that shell script at the end of the run.

> you can use for instance mutool etc to split pdf’s
I can’t do that simply because it would mean lots and lots of manual work
(including typing long names every time) each time I automatically produce the
PDFs. I am talking hundreds of views generated anew every time and they all
need to end up in a separate file. I need some sort of automatic flow. It’s OK
if the PDF with all the pages is an intermediate and use a tool to split this
into separate files with separate file names (so an additional step in the
workflow) but I would have to create th eextraction script automatically during
the ConTeXt run.
Alternatively, I could have a step before this to turn the input XML into many
separate XMLs and have many ConTeXt runs. Probably that is the best way to do
it. Each generated XML would have all of the original XML except it would only
have one ‘view’ in it and the rest removed.
