It might be easier to place the figure code in a separate file, with
some conditional code:
* if the figure file is being compiled directly, execute a
\startTEXpage ... \stopTEXpage at start and end
* if the figure file is not the compilation target, i.e. it is being
\input, skip the \startTEXpage and just include the figure code.
The MWE below *ought* to work, but it doesn't, and I can't get it
debugged. Perhaps \doifinputfileelse and \input don't play well
together? Assistance welcome!
Cheers,
