I would like to have either If you add \starttext ... \stoptext, then ConTeXt generates a single PDF with all pages. 1) two separate PDF's with each containing their own graphic You can use external tools like pdftk to split a pdf file into multiple files. 2) a single two page PDF where each page corresponds to the appropriate graphic. See above. Of course, the holy grail would be to be able to compile a MetaPost source file with ConTeXt. (Relevant? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/78007) With a recent beta, you can use: context file.mp to compile a ConTeXt file.
