Will look into those. It seems Asymptote + Tikz is a good way to go and also try out Metapost ag= ain. Mojca, you said that number of pstricks users are decreasing. Is this amongst Context users, or in general amongst all users who use pstricks. If the overall number of users is decreasing then perhaps I don't want to spend time learning it as it won't have new features in the future. I don't like its syntax, though it can do neat things. Asymptote syntax is really good. Thanks again.
