Hello, I have been using the (old) chart module to draw not only flow charts but also to draw functional diagrams for gas handling and hydrolics systems. This module could be significantly developped, in particular though abstraction of node placement, color, etc. One could go further, drawing tree diagrams. Here, I am thinking about some of the possibilities of pgf/TiKz. Something probably already exists in Metapost, but it would be nice to have such tools native in ConTeXt. pgf/TiKz is a nice package, and I like its support for ConTeXt. However, a simpler, cleaner interface and syntax can be achieved natively in ConTeXt and Metapost... Going a bit further, I suppose that the same logic could be applied to drawing schematic diagrams for electronics. And why not abstract this further? One could then flexibly logically place (and connect) containers of any sort. I use collectors and columnsetspan to put together posters (A0). This could be made easier.
