Is there a way to output several MetaPost PDF graphics from a single ConTeXt source file. For example,
\starttext
\startMPpage draw fullcircle scaled 72; \stopMPpage \startMPpage draw unitsquare scaled 72; \stopMPpage
\stoptext
and have a separate output PDF generated for each MPpage? It seems that this ConTeXt code generates a single PDF which contains only the first graphic. I would like to have either
If you add \starttext ... \stoptext, then ConTeXt generates a single PDF with all pages.
1) two separate PDF's with each containing their own graphic
You can use external tools like pdftk to split a pdf file into multiple files.
2) a single two page PDF where each page corresponds to the appropriate graphic.
See above.
Of course, the "holy grail" would be to be able to "compile" a MetaPost source file with ConTeXt.
(Relevant? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/78007) With a recent beta, you can use: context file.mp to compile a ConTeXt file.
