Both work but they are not the same thing.
\loadmarkfile loads only the given file with the extension “mkii” MkII and
“mkiv” for MkIV and only used in modules.
\usemodule does a lot more than this, the first is that it checks for the given
module with different prefixes (the graph module has a “m-” prefix which means
it’s a core module) and it also looks for file with different extension, this
means it doesn’t matter if the module is called m-graph.tex, m-graph.mkiv or
even t-graph.mkiv, \usemodule will always load the module while \loadmarkfile
will only load m-graph.mkiv
When you load a file with \loadmarkfile and the file is not present you will
get a message on the terminal to give a different file name which aborts the
tex run while \usemodule will only give a message on the terminal but the
processing isn’t stopped, as a last thing \usemodule loads a module only once
while \loadmarkfile will always read the file.

Thanks for explaining the differences of the two statements!

Re: [NTG-context] How to get graph module (metapost) to work with ConTeXt minimals?
The correct method is to use:
\usemodule [graph]
and then you can type, for example:
\startMPcode
draw begingraph(8cm,6cm) ;
gdraw (0,0)--(1,1) ;
endgraph ;
\stopMPcode
to include a graph with your text.
As pointed out, under mkiv, metapost is processed under one
continuous run, so definitions are retained. This is to be kept
in mind, as some metapost code can then yield errors, in particular,
inconsistent equations and the like.

Hi Gerard,
that's because of a change in ConTeXts metapost, you can use
\startMPpage
Your MP Code here
\stopMPpage
MetaPost from ConTeXt is not able without big changes to run standalone,
so you might need to load the MetaPost version from TeXlive, the way how
to do so depends on your OS...
Greetings
Hi Martin,
Okay, thanks for your answer!
Embedding the code in my ConTeXt file works well, but I was used to
obtain my MetaPost figures seperately using the mpost-command!

Gerard Verhaag
