I'm trying to typeset a small column of numbers with a right brace on the
right, and nothing on the left. (Sort of like the opposite to the right
hand side of a cases environment). I've tried:
\definemathmatrix[group][left={},right={\,\right\} }]
\startgroup
10\NR 9\NR 8\NR
\stopgroup
But this just gives me errors: and the right brace in my group definition is
just ignored. So, how can I get a brace which extends to the full height of
the column? If I use
\definemathmatrix[group][left={},right={\,\rbrace}]
This just gives me a small brace, and doesn't extend it vertically.
Thanks very much!

May I chime in with a related question? Is there a dedicated ConTeXt way
of having something similar in text mode? A column of content with a
brace on its right (or left)? I have sometimes used something like this
(which I think is from A Beginner's Book of TeX):
\starttext
\setbox1=\vbox{\hsize2cm Some \crlf vertical \crlf material }
\setbox2=\vbox{\hbox{X}}
\startformula
\left.\vcenter{\box1}\right\}\vcenter{\box2}
\stopformula
\stoptext
But I was wondering if there's a less hackish, more elegant way of doing
this in ConTeXt.
All best
Thomas

Thank you Wolfgang, the metapost solution looks very good! I'll make
this part of my cont-user.tex, I think...

Can we have this as part of the core and accessible using:
leftframe=on|off|brace|bracket|parenthesis
and similar options for topframe, bottomframe, and rightframe,
or perhaps predefined metapost graphics for setting
background={metapost:leftbrace,metapost:topbrace}, etc (similar to line
shading macros.

MetaPost is the easier choice because we can add more styles to draw also fancy borders for tables etc.

In my viewer (okular), it also looks nicer. With the $\left\{ solution,
one could see tiny gaps between the parts of the brace. I assume this
wouldn't be visible when you print it out, but at large sizes in a
presentation, this doesn't look very nice, whereas the metapost solution
is perfect.

as a start:
\useMPlibrary[fen]
you can run meta-imp-fen.mkiv to see the examples.
