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
[http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/sources/mptopdf.pdf MPtoPDF]).
MetaPost is ConTeXt's "native" graphics mode, see [[MetaFun]].
