Make clearer the MetaPost/MetaFun relation
< [[Math]], [[MetaFun]], [[Graphics]]
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 the[http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/sources/mptopdf.pdf MPtoPDFMP to PDF]manual). MetaPost is ConTeXt's "native" graphics mode, see [[MetaFun]].
MetaPost is ConTeXt's native graphics language. [[MetaFun]] is a MetaPost module by Hans Hagen that adds a lot of extra features; it is enabled by default, so one could say that MetaFun is ConTeXt's default dialect of MetaPost.
