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.
(Untested code, but this should work) \startbuffer[figure 1] draw fullcircle scaled 1cm; \stopbuffer \startbuffer[frame] draw (bbox currentpicture) withcolor blue; \stopbuffer \processMPbuffer[figure 1, frame] Basically, you can concatinate various buffers in \processMPbuffer.
