I wanted to know if the impact of clipping is caused by the metafun format.
According to the wiki page
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/defineMPinstance the instances "metapost"
and "metafun" are predefined and can be used by
\startMPcode{instance}
...
\stopMPcode
where metafun is the default instance, i.e. used when there is no instance
given.
