I don't know if there are many people on this list who need to draw graphs
I will/would sooner than later, since I'm migrating all of my old LaTeX documents to ConTeXt. I need to draw genetic pedigrees of two kinds. The classic type to show trait inheritance, like those: https://www.goodscience.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/generations-and-individuals-pedigree.jpg https://www.advancesinfamilypracticenursing.com/cms/attachment/bdc69a1e-62c7-4686-ad0a-568deb15a14f/gr1_lrg.jpg And another kind we use to study inbreeding, like those: http://messybeast.com/images/coefficients-of-inbreeding.jpg The second kind I made using the LaTeX package xymatrix, like so: \begin{displaymath} \xymatrix{A \ar[d] \ar[drr] && B \ar[d] \ar[dll] \\ C \ar[dr] && D \ar[dl] \\ & X & } \end{displaymath} Which is easy and simple to use for that purpose. But for the classic type, I haven't been able to find a solution yet, not even for LaTeX.
At https://github.com/Ndolam/Graphic you create graph drawings of a number of built-in graph types, and lets you edit those as well as combine smaller drawings into larger ones. One of its export formats is ConTeXt-style TikZ.
This sounds promissing, although the syntaxt to define the graphics looks like a bit too complicated (to me). Do you think it could be used/adapted to such pedigree graphics?
