Hi,
A few days ago Santiago Muelas send me mail in which he discussed the
possibility to include graphic in metapost. That discussion focused at core
mp support (i.e. extending mp). As an experiment, I hacked graphic
inclusion support into the context mp special macros (those that also take
care of shading) and the result can be seen at:
http://www.pragma-ade.com/pragma-tmp/metafun/metajoke.pdf (metajoke.zip)
There is also a zip there for those who want to play with it. All pdftex
formats [png,jpg,pdf] are supported as well as reuae of graphics. The main
drawback is that one has to know the aspect ratio of a graphic [but I can
envision multipass approach] and the a limitation is that one cannot scale
the 'currentpicture' afterwards. On the other hand, graphics can be
scaled/shifted/rotated ans obey clipping. It proved to be a nearly trivial
simple implementation.
