The only change I made was that I started using a 9pt modern font than a 10 pt modern font. My document decreased from 580+ pages to 500 pages after that. About your document, I assume you had a lot of Graphics because text only 180MB is too high. I have only few diagrams and my file size is

[NTG-context] behaviour sy in externalfigure

The scaling in \externalfigure[][] with option sy=number seems to have a discrete change in behaviour between sy=1.0 and sy=(not 1.0).The MWE (see below, FIGURE REMOVED BECAUSE OTHERWISE  MESSAGE TOO LARGE) shows that factor sy≠1.0 is applied to the original height of the figure, but for sy=1.0

Hi, not sure I get what you are missing. But you can try setbounds currentpicture to (fullsquare scaled 200) ; in base. And then do \dorecurse{5}{ \startTEXpage[offset=1DK] \useMPgraphic{layerset#1} \stopTEXpage } if that is the looping you are after. /Mikael On Fri, Feb 16, 2024 at 6:54 AM

Resp. the solution should be such that each generated PDF page has the same dimension, the same background colour and a page number and the metapost content on each page has the same scaling factor. On Feb. 15 2024, at 11:10 pm, Emanuel Han via ntg-context wrote: > Dear Mikael, > > I actually
