There are three ways you can do it in ConTeXt 1) Most features: pstricks (yes pstricks can be used with context, but you always have to go the ps->pdf route) 2) Easiest syntax and prettiest looking output: tikz. You need one of the recent versions of tikz that work fine with context (except some of the exotic features, like adding arbitrary nodes to the page) 3) A very flexible system, but it takes a while to get used to the syntax: Metaobj. You also need a workabound to get metaobj to run correctly with metafun (search the mailing list for Taco's reply on a mail with metaobj in the subject) For things like this, my personal recommendation will be tikz. It is not as powerful as metapost, since all the calculations are done in tex, but the user interface is slightly easier to use than metapost, and it has a good looking library of functions. If you need something, quick and dirty, plain metapost with boxes package will also work. There is also the flowchart module, but I do not think that it can draw diagonal lines.
