Hi all,
As requested some time ago on this list, Asymptote 1.14 (a modern MetaPost
replacement) now supports alternate TeX engines via the -tex option:
-tex engine TeX engine ("latex|pdflatex|tex|pdftex|none") ["latex"]
Other engines (presumably including ConTeXt) can easily be added in settings.cc.
General affine transforms and clipping of labels is now implemented
via PostScript or PDF specials (as appropriate). So if ConTeXt can handle
TeX specials, adding support for it should be straightforward. We also
input the tex graphics and picture packages; presumably something like them
is accessible to ConTeXt too. If someone comes up with a diff for ConTeXt,
please post it (as a patch under the link News) at asymptote.sourceforge.net
Regards,
