Dear List
I have come across a problem which I don't think is due to ConTeXt but
I'm hopping the great and the good of this list may be able to explain
what is going on.
The code below produces an MPpage with a shaded background and two
graphics along with a line of outlined text. When I view in Adobe (or
the output from TeXworks) I see everything as it should be. However, I
wanted to convert the MPpage to a jpeg file and when I opened the pdf in
either Apple MAC Preview or Gimp 2.10 the two graphics are missing, and
I have no idea why.
Could someone explain a way round this? Here is the code.
Thanks
Keith

Hi Keith,
It took me a while before I saw it, but I think you wanted to type in
z0 = (60,60);
z1 = z0 rotated 120;
z2 = z0 rotated 240;
instead of
z0 = (60,60);
z1 = z0 rotated 120;
z2 = z1 rotated 240;
because the latter puts z2 at z0, resulting in a path that is a straight line. The fact that AR displays anything at all is probably some form of correction like "fill of empty path == single pixel line”.
Best wishes,
Taco

Thanks Taco!
I have been playing about with an example from this site
https://tex.loria.fr/prod-graph/zoonekynd/metapost/metapost.html
which was originally for a square and I obviously didn't get my angles
right. Thanks for spotting it. I'm beginning to appreciate where the Fun
in MetaFun comes from.
Best Wishes
Keith
