MetaFun - Pragma ADE

There are a few more low level switches and features, but these go beyond the purpose of this
manual. Some of these features, like the option to add tokens to \everyMPgraphic are for experts
only, and fooling around with them can interfere with existing features.

An advantage of using CONTEXT to make your METAPOST graphics is you don't have to bother about
specials, font inclusion and all those nasty things that can spoil a good day. An example of such a
graphic is the file mfun-888 that resides on the computer of the author.

Given that CONTEXT is present on your system, you can process this file with:
context mfun-888
You can define many graphics in one file. Later you can include individual pages from the resulting
PDF file in your document:
\placefigure
{A silly figure, demonstrating that stand||alone||graphics
can be made.}
{\externalfigure[mfun-888][page=1]}
