How to box \useMPgraphic?

How to box \useMPgraphic?

[Oliver Buerschaper]

Hello all,

I'd like to insert a little MetaPost square into the running text and  
properly align it vertically. So I tried:

---

\startuseMPgraphic{square}
     draw unitsquare scaled StrutHeight;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\starttext

I want a square \raisebox{-\strutdepth}{\useMPgraphic{square}} in my  
running text.

\stoptext

---

Unfortunately, to no avail. TeX seems to be asking for some boxed  
content, so I tried to wrap the figure inclusion into a box:  
\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}. It doesn't solve the problem either.

What do I need to change?

Oliver

I want a square \raisebox{-.5\strutdp}\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}} in my
running text.

\inframed[frame=off]{\useMPgraphic{square}}

Thanks!

So is this the preferred command for all (horizontal) boxing related  
tasks in ConTeXt (over hbox)?

Thanks!

I was close: if I had only left out the outer braces in  
{\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}} ...
