I need to typeset a few (simple) diagrams in ConTeXt, like the ones mathematicians use, with arrows. In LaTeX, one can use pictex or DCpic. The latter claims also to work with ConTeXt, but I couldn't find an example. Has anybody managed to do something like this?
Why not use MetaPost? With all of ConTeXt's features for doing in-document MetaPost code, this would be the perfect solution for your problem. Have a look at Hans's MetaFUN manual for a good starting point on using it. Also, I believe the original MetaPost manual has some examples of figures very much like the ones that you want to draw. - Brooks
