It appears that the functionality to build up a list of items sequentially in successive pages is already therev (s-pre-00.tex). What I particularly need to do, however, is to sequentally build up a graph with explanatory text appearing next to the graph as each bit is inserted (i.e., as successive stuff is added to the graph, an itemised list builds up next to the graph). Typically, I produce the series of graphs with gnuplot and its metapost terminal (what a pleasure to finally be able to do that!). Is there a way of building text and graphics in combination in Context? I wouldn't mind doing this manually, i.e. creating each successive page as a separate entity. However, I then need to put the graph and the existing text in exactly the same place, so that I can create the illusion of a sequential build on a single page. This means I must avoid slight shifts in graphs and text placing when paging. As I understand it from art-pres.pdf and reading s-pre-00.tex, Context, when building an itemized list, does it by successively uncovering hidden parts of a page. Would this be possible with a Metapost graph?
