you haven't post the tex code that fails so no one can check it

even when you say
\def\begin#1{\csname begin#1\endcsname}
to get around the first hurdle it fails because \addplot is not defined
i can't grep it in the tikz module tree either but there are files with 'plot' in it, so maybe you need to install more or maybe the commands / interfaces changed
(if it keeps failing on you, you can always try to use metapost instead)

Hi Hans,

It doesn’t keep failing for me because the fix is well documented, so I fixed it on my machine. I am just imagining that it might be nice to put that fix in the modules that people download. For example, a teacher wants to help me test my book, so he followed the instructions on the wiki to instal ConTeXt (LMTX) and the modules (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules). Then he had to go in and change two commands the file:

	context-osx-64/tex/texmf-modules/generic/pgfplots/pgfplots.code.tex

The changes are:

	Line 7928: change “\begin{axis}" to “\axis”
	Line 7934: change “\end{axis}" to “\endaxis”

Then everything is great.

I don't know where the modules live and how they are maintained, but if this fix could be put into those modules before people download them, that would be helpful as I add more collaborators.

Thanks!
Gavin
