Re: Exporting figures

[Willi Egger]

Hi Richard

I can only tell you what I usually do. My figures normally reside in  
an external file. At the bottom of this file I add;

\starttext

\startTEXpage
	\useMPgraphic{graphicnameA}
\stopTEXpag

\startTEXpage
	\useMPgraphic{graphicnameB}
\stopTEXpag

\stoptext

In this way I get each graphic on a page cropped to the size of the  
original MP-image.


Kind regards

Willi
