__TOC__
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.comnl/general/sources/mptopdf.pdf MP to PDF] manual).
MetaPost is ConTeXt's native graphics language. [[MetaFun - MetaPost in ConTeXt]] 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.
