Hi,
I have tried the following example (metafun-p.pdf, p. 112-3):
\startMPgraphic
draw unitsquare xscaled 5cm yscaled 1cm withpen pencircle scaled 2mm
withcolor .625red;
\stopMPgraphic
\hbox \bgroup
\loadcurrentMPgraphic{width=5cm,height=1cm}\placeMPgraphic \quad
\loadcurrentMPgraphic{width=8cm,height=1cm}\placeMPgraphic \egroup
but nothing is drawn unless I remove the setups in curly braces (in
which case a rectangle 5cm x 1cm is drawn). Is there a different way to
pass options to the figure inclusion macro?
Interestingwhat is happening is something equivalent to
\externalfigure
[\MPgraphicfile.\the\currentMPgraphic]
[type=mps,object=no,
symbol=yes,reset=yes,
maxwidth=,maxheight=,
frame=off,background=,
width=8cm,
height=1cm]%
and there is no figure. If I remove object=no, the figure is there. I
do not understand why object=no should affect the placement of the
figure.

Hi,
right, the object=no value is the problem. You can solve your problem
by inserting the following macro somewhere before starttext in your
document:
\unprotect
\def\insertMPfileARG#1#2%
{\ifx\undefined\externalfigure
\message{[insert file #1 here]}%
\else
\externalfigure
[#1]
[\c!type=\c!mps,\c!object=\v!yes,
\c!symbol=\v!yes,\c!reset=\v!yes,
\c!maxwidth=,\c!maxheight=,
\c!frame=\v!off,\c!background=,
#2]%
\fi}
\protect
I changed only the no value from object to yes.
