Chartflow request: use + or - where an x or y position is asked

Chartflow request: use + or - where an x or y position is asked

[Berend de Boer]

Hello Hans,

It would be great if the ConTeXt chartflow module would make it
possible to use a + or - in the \location macro.

So instead of:

        \location{2,1}

You could say:

        \location{+,}

This should be interpreted as:

        +: increment x or y position
        -: decrement x or y position
        empty: no change in x or y

The current x or y position are the last x or y used (or calculated)
with a \location macro.

Groetjes,

Berend. (-:

or more ambitious: 

+|-|+n|-n|empty|n

i suppose that you'rw willing to accept some more nanosec runtime?

come one, don't start crying, i here now run a version of context that is
over twice as fast on tough jobs; as soon as fabice p. moves the kpsea
server into the tex/mp binaries, i expect even more gain for docs running
mp realtime.
