Hello Hans,
Asymptote developers wonder if there's a way to pipe to ConTeXt.
More precisely, they want to do the following:
context misc/null
*
\newbox\ASYbox
\newdimen\ASYdimen
\long\def\ASYbase#1#2{\leavevmode\setbox\ASYbox=\hbox{#1}\ASYdimen=\ht\ASYbox%
\setbox\ASYbox=\hbox{#2}\lower\ASYdimen\box\ASYbox}
\font\ASYfont=lmr12 at 12pt\ASYfont\switchtobodyfont[12pt]%
%
(Please type a command or say `\end')
*\setbox\ASYbox=\hbox{$x$}
*
*
*
*
*
*
*(Please type a command or say `\end')
*\showthe\wd\ASYbox
6.67703pt.
a more context friendly way would be to load a module that defined a few
commands, like
\newbox\ASYbox
\def\showASYdimensions
{\immediate\write16{ASY whd:
\the\wd\ASYbox\space
\the\ht\ASYbox\space
\the\dp\ASYbox\space}}
\long\def\setASYhbox#1%
{\setbox\ASTbox\hbox{#1}\showASYdimensions}
\long\def\setASYvbox#1%
{\setbox\ASTbox\vbox{#1}\showASYdimensions}
or whatever set of commands is needed. Kind of a ASY interface. That way
we can finetune at the tex level, for instance:
\long\def\setASYhbox#1%
{\setbox\ASTbox\hbox{\strut#1}%
\showASYdimensions}
\long\def\setASYvbox#1%
{\setbox\ASTbox\vbox{\forgetall\begstrut#1\endstrut}%
\showASYdimensions}
which might give better output

The point is that sometimes you want to pipe input directly into context, and you simply can't at the moment, because context and texexec refuse to run without an input file name.
