I wanted to know if the impact of clipping is caused by the metafun format. According to the wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/defineMPinstance the instances "metapost" and "metafun" are predefined and can be used by \startMPcode{instance} ... \stopMPcode where metafun is the default instance, i.e. used when there is no instance given. > > >>>mfun_first_run > >>>true > >!
