Given rectangles with text:
\starttext
Before:\\
\startMPcode
draw unitsquare xscaled 2cm yscaled 1cm;
\stopMPcode
\\
After:\\
\startMPcode
for i=0 upto 1:
draw unitsquare scaled 1cm xshifted i*cm;
endfor;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
How can a line be drawn connecting the right edges of the rectangles? I have played with:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{line}
path a;
a:=(0,0)--(0,3cm);
draw a withpen pencircle scaled 3pt withcolor green;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[line][{\uniqueMPgraphic{line}}]
and using it in \framed, but placing the line correctly is elusive.

Just a quick and dirty solution. The trick is to draw the extra line as
part of the graphic and then fake the boundingbox. This is also limited
to a few centimeter, objects are cut off after you reach that
'invisible' border around the boundingbox.
I would use uniqueMPgraphic with proper parameters for the graphics.
Using overlays is also possible (urcorner OverlayBox), but I see no real
need or benefit to do so.

Look at chapter 5 in the metafun manual.

Yes it helped Peter, thank you. Interesting moves with the mpost bounding box.
I thought I might need more flexibility—overlays—but it has turned out that single mp graphic with labels for the commentary will work for the task.
Thanks again, John
