Hi Alex, I don’t know the status of Asymptote. I am using TikZ and pgfplots for 3D, with satisfactory results (example below). However, it is slow, so use the buffer mechanism to prevent redrawing with every run.
TIkZ/pgfplots is the best short term solution for diagrams I need right now. I am concerned that TikZ will eventually not work with ConTeXt, so for a long term solution I am trying to make diagrams with Metapost, using Lua to do the heavy computational work. This is not easy, but the diagrams are super fast, and I think they will always work. Hope that helps. Gavin
