Re: [NTG-context] How to box \useMPgraphic?

2008-11-14 Thread Oliver Buerschaper
 I'd like to insert a little MetaPost square into the running text and
 properly align it vertically. So I tried:

 ---

 \startuseMPgraphic{square}
 draw unitsquare scaled StrutHeight;
 \stopuseMPgraphic

 \starttext

 I want a square \raisebox{-\strutdepth}{\useMPgraphic{square}} in my
 running text.

 \stoptext

 ---

 Unfortunately, to no avail. TeX seems to be asking for some boxed
 content, so I tried to wrap the figure inclusion into a box:
 \hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}. It doesn't solve the problem either.

 \inframed[frame=off]{\useMPgraphic{square}}

Thanks!

So is this the preferred command for all (horizontal) boxing related  
tasks in ConTeXt (over hbox)?

Thanks!

I was close: if I had only left out the outer braces in  
{\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}} ...

[NTG-context] How to box \useMPgraphic?

What do I need to change?
