Hello, I'd like to draw up a simple chart (\usemodule[chart]), but I get only the "text" (not really a document) and no "shape" on the PDF. I use a current version of Miktex total (Win) and the newest ConTeXt. What can I do? Thanks for any help, greetings, Helmut **********sample**********************************************++ \usemodule[chart] \setupFLOWcharts [nx=3, ny=3, dx=2\bodyfontsize, dy=2\bodyfontsize, width=12\bodyfontsize, height=7\bodyfontsize, maxwidth=\textwidth] \starttext \startFLOWchart[cells] \startFLOWcell \name {first} \location {1,2} \shape {singledocument} \text {not really a document} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[cells] \stoptext ********************************************************* Helmut Schwertner Schülperbaum 4 24103 K i e l phone: 0431 58 78 502 eMail: schwertner@t-online.de

Did you enable the \write18 feature? This allows tex to run external programs, needed for inline metapost graphics like flow shapes. I don't remember how to do this for miktex, but it is described in the context installation manual, together with some more hints for a context friendly setup. -- Eckhart
Hi Helmut,
I tried your code and it runs smoothly here.
I saw later the suggestion of Eckhart. This could be the good sugggestion
\write18 must be enabled in order to
typeset flow-charts!
Cheers Willi

you can run in intermediate mode (no write 18) but maybe you had your system set up for immediate mode in which case write 18 also needs to be enabled, for testing, try: texexec --automp yourfile.mp depending on the complexity of the job this can be faster at the cost orf more files.
