If I recall correctly this is Can be more than dimensions. This is the default hash: \def\overlaystamp {\overlaywidth :% \overlayheight:% \overlaydepth :% \MPcolor\overlaycolor:% \MPcolor\overlaylinecolor} so: width, height, depth, background color, line color but is one says \startuniqueMPgraphic{mygraphic}{linewidth,.....} given that linewidth is set, those values are also taken into account > mentioned somewhere in the MetaFun manual.

I attached > a small example to show the difference. It does make a difference when you have documents with thousands of graphics (mkiv is much faster btw) and the pdf file is also smaller when reuse is applied Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
