In \startMPinclusions I just do that in order to get the drawing color I want. But then \startMPgraphic appears to reset colors (both "_op_" and "background" I suspect). Can this be changed? In plain.mf there is already a setup, so there seems no reason for \startMPgraphic to interfere. It would be nice if the color setup done in \startMPinclusions would be honored. It is a nuisance to have them set up in a special initalization file and then being forced to repeat this at the start of every graphic. Question: what tinkering with metapost parameters is done in \startMPgraphic exactly? (I could not find out readily from the ConTeXt sources) Which of these can be removed without danger for its operation, leaving settings in \startMPinclusions unchanged -- and will that be done? yours sincerely, dr.
