I do not know if point ... along... is a mp core command or something introduced by metafun. Is this metafun's fault, metaobj's fault or simply a metapost issue (and thus I should ask on the metapost list). \setupcolors [state=start] \startMPinclusions input metaobj; \stopMPinclusions % Everything works fine if I comment metaobj. \starttext \startMPpage path p ; p := (0,0)--(1cm,0) ; draw p withpen pencircle scaled 2bp withcolor 0.8white; draw (point .25 along p)--(point .75 along p) withpen pencircle scaled 2bp withcolor red ; \stopMPpage \stoptext gives !
