Hello,
I'm looking for some stuff about calling MP from ConTeXt Lua.
The only thing I found is a short reference at http://www.luatex.org/svn/trunk/manual/luatexref-t.pdf, but even when I read some basics (pages 79-83), I don't even know how to draw a line between two points.
So I'd like to find a tutorial or examples or a deeper reference about how to call MP via Lua from ConTeXt. - Any idea?
Cheers,
Lukas

You don’t have to think so complicated:
\starttext
\startluacode
context.startMPpage()
context("draw fullcircle scaled 2cm;")
context.stopMPpage
\stopluacode
\stoptext

Hi Lukáš,
this doesn't seem to be implemented yet, cf. this post:
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100805.225554.4212c0c8.en.html
for now, as Wolfgang suggested, the “building strings and passing
them to context.MPdrawing()” method works acceptably if you
define yourself some wrapper functions.
But maybe Hans already has some prototype for a Metapost-Context
interface in his drawer …
Regards, Philipp

Thanks for the answers to all...
It seems that I'm trying to do similar things as someone else was trying before -
- use of "context.MPdrawing()" looks best at the moment. Maybe it will become "deprecated" as soon as Lua involves MP.
Best,
Lukas

it is unlikely to become deprecated

As usual
browse the sources & search for mplib -- they are not so complicated to read
