MPinclusions for drawing commands

MPinclusions for drawing commands

[Eckhart Guthöhrlein]

In the following test file

\setupcolors[state=start]

\startMPinclusions
  drawoptions(withcolor \MPcolor{darkyellow});
\stopMPinclusions

\startreusableMPgraphic{test}
  fill fullcircle scaled 1cm;
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\starttext
  \reuseMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext

I was hoping for a yellow circle, but it didn't work. I guess drawoptions are 
reset by beginfig?
Is there a possibility to insert MP code for every figure in a document 
*after* every beginfig?
Or how else could I set common drawoptions for all figures?

\startuseMPgraphic{common}
  ....
\stopuseMPgraphic

\startreusableMPgraphic{test}
   \includeMPgraphic{common}
   ....

You still have to say \includeMPgraphic{common} in every single figure, don't 
you? It's not as good as something like \startcommonMPcode ... 
\stopcommonMPcode (which I presumed to exist, since there is hardly anything 
not to exist in context).
But the solution is fine for me now, thank you.

the danger of that is that it can inferfere with other graphics, for 
instance those generated by context itself

So it would involve separating system graphics calls from user calls... Too 
much trouble for a small benefit, I guess.
