I'd second this. For some reason PGF/TikZ is rather appealing to me right now. Although clearly MetaPost/Fun can do it all, it is (or at least seems) more daunting. Perhaps the beautiful examples for TikZ are closer to what I need out of the box (graphs of various kinds) than the beautiful examples from MetaFun.

I'd like to see a better integration of this package with ConTeXt. For
example, hooking it into the ConTeXt color mechanism (unless you guys have
some tricks up your sleave you'ld like to share ;-) I could not get global
text color within a TikZ environment without individually coloring every
node...
If a color is defined using ConTeXt's definecolor it can be used with
tikz. Here is an example (adapted from the tikz manual)
\usemodule[tikz]
\definecolor[mycolor] [g=.75,r=.15,b=.5]
\starttext
\start[tikzpicture]
[parent anchor=east,child anchor=west,grow=east]
\tikzstyle{every node}=[ball color=mycolor,circle,text=white]
\tikzstyle{edge from parent}=[draw,dashed,thick,red]
\node {root}
child {node {left}}
child {node {right}
child {node {child}}
child {node {child}}
};
\stop[tikzpicture]

Ok, I got confused by something the manual said about color (p. 108); I
thought that non-LaTeX users had to use \definecolor{} which crashes on
context...

[NTG-context] tree charts
Dear cabal, Do any of you have any examples of tree charts done in, say, MetaFun? Are there any macros, libraries etc. for easy tree charts in \ConTeXt?

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.

Yes, otherwise that module would be the ticket. Maybe someone will extend it someday; I think a tree-chart module is at least just as important as one for flow charts. THANK YOU for the info!
