MetaPost is a graphical programming language, based on Donald Knuth's MetaFont. Normally MP graphics are converted to PostScript and used with dvips, but ConTeXt can use it directly with PDF (see MPtoPDF).

MetaPost is ConTeXt's "native" graphics mode, see MetaFun.

Besides MetaFun there are some more extensions to MetaPost:

  • MetaObj, see CTAN/graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/metaobj/
