Since I don't use MetaPost, I don't think I'm the best person to
document this. But I took this as an opportunity to create the command
reference pages for a bunch of the \...MP... commands; perhaps one of
you could add this info to the proper page(s)? E.g. at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startuseMPgraphic
There is an overview of the new stubs at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Template:MetaPost_see_also
Also: a question about
\startuseMPgraphic and
\startuniqueMPgraphic.
Both are supposed to be recompiled at every usage, so how are they
different? Actually trying it out suggests that useMPgraphic is the
only one of the two that re-evaluates its code every time; compare the
examples at
* http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startuseMPgraphic and
* http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startuniqueMPgraphic
But then \startuniqueMPgraphic would be the same as
\startreuseMPgraphic, so I think I'm still missing something.
Cheers,
Sietse
