Hi again,
I tried my example from yesterday in context with metapost format, but
the output still differs from what mptopdf produces.
While doing that, I noticed that the mpost format is currently not usable out of
the box:
\startMPcode{metapost}
draw (0,0) -- (1cm,0) ;
\stopMPcode
produces the error message
\startMPcode
draw (0,0) -- (1cm,0) ;
\stopMPcode
why the {metapost}
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.
i fixed the metapost run and also added basic text support in it (next
beta)
mfun_first_run
true
! Equation cannot be performed (numeric=boolean).
and the same for 'mfun_trial_run'. Simply adding
boolean mfun_trial_run, mfun_first_run ;
to texmf/metapost/base/mpost.mp resolved the issue for me. However, that may
introduce other complications that I have no idea of.

Dear all,
I stumbled upon some very weird behaviour of clipping in metafun/context. When I
add some clipped pictures to currentpicture and draw something dashed, some
subsequent lines will also be drawn dashed.
This behaviour only shows up with context but not with mptopdf or mpost. I
attached a minimal example and the corresponding output of context and mptopdf.
I tried context versions 2014.05.21 22:04 and 2014.10.29 17:47, but the result
is the same in both.
