Dear fellow gangsters, 2 questions:
QUESTION 1) Does ConTeXt have a graphical charts module, a la flowcharts module? If not, are there some examples of graphical charts done in ConTeXt anywhere? Please see the attached png for what I have in mind.
I did find a module m-steps, but the enclosed example crashes, so I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for...
=============================
% output=pdf interface=en
\usemodule[m-steps]
% A simple paragraph-flow test:
\starttext
\startbuffer
\startSTEPchart
\cells {A} {B}
\cells {one} {five} \texts{$+2$}{$-2$}
\cells {two} {four} \texts{$+3$}{$-3$}
\cells {three} {three} \texts{$+4$}{$-4$}
\cells {four} {two} \texts{$+5$}{$-5$}
\cells {five} {one}
\stopSTEPchart
\stopbuffer
\getbuffer
\startnarrower \getbuffer \stopnarrower
\placefigure[left]{}{} \getbuffer
\stoptext
=============================
log file:
=============================
(chart-test-mpgraph.mp
(c:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-local/metapost/context/base/mp-step

; lines[b][2][2] :=

? =============================QUESTION 2) Not really a direct context question but is needed for a context document: how can I convert the attached pdf to a transparent background without loosing the image (bitmap in origin). ImageMagick does not work well at all. I need it in a document with a colored background.
