No pdftex is in the path.
I call context by using

call E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat
E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex
so there should not be any mismatched executables.

Yes, this works. The formats are generated correctly. However,
texmfstart texexec --mpgraphic file.mp
does not give me a pdf file. I do understand why this is happening. I will
dig into it a bit more and see what is going wrong.
In tex.rb
def processmpgraphic
...
if data =~ /output files written\:\s*(.*)$/mois then
However, if the mp file contains only one figure, the output in the log is
1 output file written: figures-axis.1
Notice /file/ instead of /files/. So the regex should be changed according.
Then everything works.
if data =~ /output files* written\:\s*(.*)$/mois then
That does the trick. --mpgraphic is working correctly. However, there
is no message on the console saying that a pdf file is created. Can
you add
report ({#name}.#{number} converted to #{filename}.#{number}.pdf)
and
report (#{name}.#{number} converted to #{filename}.pdf)
after File.silentrename lines.

[NTG-context] Using metapost figures in context
Hi,
Does there exist a startstop command (say startMPfigure) for managing
figures drawn using MP such that
1. I can use \startMPfigure{label} .. \stopMPfigure and then use
\useexternalMPfigure{label} to include the figure.
2. The figures are converted into pdf once. If the code inside
\startstop MPfigures changes, the pdf for each figure is recreated.
Basically, I want MPfigures to be converted into pdf for faster
inclusion in the main document, the figure should be recompiled if
necessary and I should be able to include the figure using a label
(so that I can separate the figures from the main document).
uniqueMPgraphic provides the first functionality, but the figure is
converted into pdf on runtime (thereby increasing the processing time
of the document).
I can use a separate document with each figure inside a \startMPpage
... \stopMPpage, but (i) I need to remember figure numbers manually,
(ii) after making change in one figure, the whole file needs to be
recompiled.
Another possibility is to use one tex file for each figure, compile
them separately and then then use figure library to get a label for
each figure. But this becomes difficult to manage, as soon as I get
large number of files.
Is their something basic that I am missing here? How do others manage
mpfigures?
To Hans: is it possible to have a \startMPfigure command such that
1. \startMPfigure[label]
figure code
\stopMPfigure
creates a \jobname-figure-\nofMPfigurefile file with
current MP environment
current MP inclusion
figure code (from inside \startstop MPfigure)
Convert this into \jobname-figure-\nofMPfigurefile.pdf only if
something changes (similar to what is done in m-r module).
2. The resultant pdf can be included using \useMPfigure{label}.
Would such a feature make sense?

you can use the figure database mechanism (davids arnold does that)
or make individual files, say 'thatfile.tex'
\starttext \startMPpage
fill fullcircle scaled 10cm;
\stopMPpage \stoptext
and then in test.tex say:
\def\MyMpgraphic[#1]%
{\executesystemcommand{texmfstart --ifchanged=#1.tex texexec #1.tex}
\externalfigure[#1.pdf]}
\starttext
\MyMpgraphic[thatfile]
\MyMpgraphic[thatfile][width=3cm]
\stoptext
(you need a version of texmfstart that provided the -ifchanged)
uniqueMPgraphic provides the first functionality, but the figure is
converted into pdf on runtime (thereby increasing the processing time
of the document).
expect this to be sped up later this year (neglectable)
I can use a separate document with each figure inside a \startMPpage
... \stopMPpage, but (i) I need to remember figure numbers manually,
(ii) after making change in one figure, the whole file needs to be

so who not filenames like whateverprefix-somelabel

see prev example for a starter
2. The resultant pdf can be included using \useMPfigure{label}.

would be a different command
