Hello, I wonder what would be recommended way to prepare math exams for primary school (e.g. 5th to 8th grade) which involves drawing lines, segments, angles, polygons, circles, drawing functions etc.? For regular formulas involving e.g. rational numbers, I'm sure that input language for math is quite sufficient, but wonder about drawing part? Sincerely, Gour -- A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires — that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still — can alone achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires.

Metapost (Metafun) is your best friend here. You can insert directly in context some MetaFun code, like this: \starttext Lorem Ipsum… \startMPcode draw ( (0,0) — (1,0) — (0,1)) with color red ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Look at this entry in the wiki: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaPost_in_ConTeXt Also, you will find a link to the meta fun manual in this page, this a good place to start !

That example does not work for me, but I've got a clue. However, someone in other forum suggested me to use GeoGebra - that's what even math textboooks use here which is interactive and can, amongst several other formats, export to TikZ, and in the beginning it seems as quicker/easier start. Sincerely, Gour -- In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.

Also, TikZ, which is more LaTeX-centric, but works with ConTeXt, too (at least it did when I last tried ConTeXt a few years ago). Hth, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl
