Thanks! (I did find out about \startMPpage[offset=3pt], but that requires me to include my MetaPost file into an additional, somewhat superfluous TeX file. And for better editor support I prefer to edit the MetaPost in a .mp file, rather than embedded in a .tex.)

Enlarge the bounds of your picture – beginfig(0); ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 5mm; endfig; Sreeram ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] How to add margin around standalone MetaPost?
Hi, Not sure if I understand the problem correctly. You could try \starttext \startMPpage[offset=3pt] ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5; \stopMPpage \startMPpage[offset=1cm] ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5; \stopMPpage \stoptext Compile with context. /Mikael On Fri, May 20, 2022 at 7:07 PM Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context wrote: > > The arrow looks fine to me in ConTeXt ver: 2022.01.10 08:36 LMTX.

The arrow looks fine to me in ConTeXt ver: 2022.01.10 08:36 LMTX.

[NTG-context] How to add margin around standalone MetaPost?
Take the following MetaPost file: beginfig(0) ahlength := 20; linejoin := mitered; drawarrow origin--(40,0) withpen pencircle scaled 5; endfig; Render it into PDF with ConTeXt. Witness the cut out ends of the arrow. How to fix that? Being able to add some margin would be a solution, which may be desirable anyway in some cases. Is that possible?
