Hi All,
I'm being a bit clueless about the MPgraphics again...
I've got a pile of instructional graphics that will be used and reused
in a project. My first try is/was an unwieldy buffer construction, but
I'm sure there's a better way than
\placefigure[here]
[fig: 5 loop departed setup]
{The start position for a 5-loop braid with departed loops}
{\framed{\getbuffer[setup 5-loop basic]}}
Come to think of it, is there another way of framing the incoming
graphic? I don't want to include the frames in the MPcode as I may not
always want them, but that \framed{\getbuffer} construction is
downright ugly.
I think the solution to my problem can be found somewhere in the
\startreuseagleMPgraphic and \reuseMPgraphic, but I don't seem to be
able to figure out the last bits...
On the moment my MPgraphics have
\startbuffer[g1]
\startMPcode
...
\stopMPcode
\stopbuffer
but that's probably an overkill... And I'd really prefer to have the
graphic as just a pic so I can easily use them as external figures.
Of course one option would be to pdf the MPgraphics and then to insert
the pdf, but I'd prefer to skip that step.
Any ideas of how to do this in a smart way? Preferably without having
to go into the bowels of ConTeXt to get it done...
Thank you,
Mari
