Tikz updated in minimals but file does not compile
Thanks Wolfgang. I suppose you mean that I need the beta version and not the stable version. Anyhow, I downloaded the beta version and tried to install tikz with the command Mojca mentioned in his post. Everything seemed to go on fine. But when I tried to compile the following simple file I get an error. The following is the information from the terminal window. It says something like ! Undefined control sequence And on help, it says that "The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed." As you can see below, it loaded the tikz module. I wonder what the problem is. ****************************************************** MtxRun | loading configuration for /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c from

A week or two weeks ago the author of TikZ has fixed a problem related to luatex/mkiv, but maybe that was not the only problem. TikZ works (or at least used to work - no time to test at this moment) in general, but there might be some more advanced graphics that fail do work due to heavy changes in ConTeXt source. Please try with some simple graphics first if they work. If they do, please post a minimal example that fails. In any case I suspect that the burden of fixing this will fall on TikZ author's shoulders since hardly any developer on this list knows the TikZ internals. Mojca

Thanks Lutz (and Aditya) for the solution. I will try it later. After it did not work yesterday and after seeing Hans Hagen's post about the possible problems with the newest beta, I deleted the latest beta and installed the stable version (the one that comes with --context=current option). I suppose I will have to update it to the latest beta and try Aditya's solution. Mojca, I was trying out a very simple tikz code to see whether it works. It was, \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \starttikzpicture draw (0,0) -- (2,2); \stoptikzpicture \stoptext Thanks to you all again for answering the questions.

Just as a note. You don't need to delete anything. Just change beta into current (or vice versa) in first-setup and you'll get the desired version after reruning he script.
I have later noticed that there are indeed general problems even in mkii. Either Hans or Till need to fix the code, but I like Aditya's suggestion. Mojca

I have recently used tikz in a project, and it works fine. The only trouble with the latest beta is that Hans has removed the funny commands with @ in them, which are a legacy of plain TeX, in favour of more legible command names. For example, \minusone in place of \m@ne, \zeropoint in place of \z@ etc. This makes ConTeXt code more readable, but at the same time means that any package which was compatible with plain TeX, LaTeX, and ConTeXt, will now fail in ConTeXt. Fixing this is as simple as adding a few \let old-command = new command things in the beginning. The easiest solution is to collect such things in a module, and import them before importing tikz or any other module which relies on the existance of plain TeX like macros. Aditya

Hello, the "Want to Learn", Since the main discussion with developers has been moved off-list, this is just to let you know that there have recently been changes in both TikZ and ConTeXt core, so at least for me TikZ works now with simple graphics with ConTeXt beta and latest TikZ (that version is included in the minimals).
