Description
Define code for a MetaPost graphic. The graphic can be placed in the document with \useMPgraphic, and will be recompiled every time it is placed.
If a custom MetaPost instance should be used, the name of the MetaPost instance has to be provided as an argument followed by a double-colon and the MPgraphic name.
Example
\def\mycolor{.625red} \defineMPinstance [myinstance] [metafun] \startuseMPgraphic{myinstance::name} fill fullcircle scaled 20pt withcolor \mycolor; \stopuseMPgraphic \startuseMPgraphic{name} fill fullcircle scaled 20pt withcolor \mycolor; \stopuseMPgraphic red: \useMPgraphic{name} red: \useMPgraphic{myinstance::name} \def\mycolor{.625blue} blue: \useMPgraphic{name}
