Hi,

Is it possible to set pen width using properties(...)? The following does 
not work (the color is set, but not the pen width):

\starttext
\startMPcode
property p[] ;
p[1] := properties(withcolor red  withpen pencircle scaled 1bp);
p[2] := properties(withcolor blue withpen pencircle scaled 10bp);

draw fullcircle scaled 1cm withproperties p[1];
draw fullcircle scaled 2cm withproperties p[2];
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

Also, what is the advantage of using properties over a simple def? (except 
that I cannot def a suffixed variable). For example:

\starttext
\startMPcode
def qA = withcolor red  withpen pencircle scaled 1bp enddef;
def qB = withcolor blue withpen pencircle scaled 10bp enddef;

draw fullcircle scaled 1cm qA;
draw fullcircle scaled 2cm qB;

\stopMPcode
\stoptext

Thanks,
Aditya
