Hi, Is there available tikz-3dplot [http://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikz-3dplot] for ConTeXt? Is it possible to use it? Thanks in advance, Xan

Most of the time packages written on top of TikZ can relatively painlessly be ported to plain TeX and ConTeXt even if they have been written for LaTeX only. My impression is that this is a LaTeX-only package, but with sufficient interest from both the author and someone familiar with ConTeXt providing the feedback, getting a working version is doable (of course one could rewrite the package for ConTeXt, but it makes a lot more sense to fix the original one).

Thanks, Mojca, for your offert and investigation about that it's latex-related. I don't need this package as a vital one, but it's good if someone could port it. Aka, put it in wish list. Perhaps you could contact main developer for program the package in both systems: latex and context, like TikZ is for. Thanks, Xan
