Use with following code scheme in ConTeXt:

\starttex
t\startMPpage
% Your Metapost/metafun code here
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

It will produce a standalone image in a pdf.

Re: [NTG-context] Saving Metafun Graphic for use outside ConTeXt

[Keith McKay]

Thanks Hans for the advice.

I use a mac-mini and it seems that mupdf, of which mutools is part off, 
does not have a macOS version, or I would have to build from source. 
However it looks like I can use Inkscape with a wee bit thought to do 
pretty much the same.


Thanks again for your help.

Keith

Dear Readers,

I have been playing about with METAFUN over the last few days trying 
to get a feel for it. I was wondering if it is possible to save the 
graphics produced in a context document for use outside. On looking 
at the Metapost manual I see you can using the following commands 
save a graphic as an svg file.


forget about producing svg this way ... (1) it would not work with 
fonts, and (2) mplib in luatex has svg and png output disabled.


% file: mpsvg.tex

\startMPpage

    draw textext("Does it work?") ;

    draw boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 2mm withcolor "darkred" ;

\stopMPpage

% process

context mpsvg

mutool convert -o mpsvg.svg mpsvg.pdf
