Hello Fabrice,

labeloffset does not work with Hans’ code above using ‘draw thetextext’ for labels. It works with the label macro:

\startMPpage[offset=2mm]
 path p, q, r ; pair z ;
 p := unitsquare scaled 4cm ;
 z := point 3.6 of p ;
 q := z--urcorner p ;
 r := q -- reverse bottomboundary p -- cycle ;
 draw p ;
 draw q ;
 draw r numberstriped (.25,10,5) withcolor blue ;
 labeloffset := 2mm ;
 label.llft("B", llcorner p) ;
 label.lrt ("C", lrcorner p) ;
 label.ulft("A", ulcorner p) ;
 label.urt ("D", urcorner p) ;
 label.lft ("M", z) ;
 \stopMPpage
