Dear Hans,
math-ams.tex defines \triangledown, but for symmetry it should
imhoalso define \triangleup:
\definemathsymbol [triangleup] [ord] [ma] ["4D]
The symbol is currently only defined as \vartriangle, but that is a
relation.
regards,
Christopher Creutzig

ok, done, but it's the sams as vartriangle (i suppose that math guru's know the difference in usage -)

The spacing around it is different, ord vs. rel. Those who don't see
the difference may not deserve it. :-)

Hello all,
I need to typeset a few (simple) diagrams in ConTeXt,
like the ones mathematicians use, with arrows. In LaTeX, one can use
pictex or DCpic. The latter claims also to work with ConTeXt, but I
couldn't find
an example. Has anybody managed to do something like this?
(essentially, I only need something like
Math Text ----------> Math Text ----------> Math Text
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
v v
v
Math Text ----------> Math Text ----------> Math Text
sometimes also with diagonal arrows).
Thanks

Without diagonal arrows you could use the flow charts module.

Thanks -- while it looks really nice, I do need diagonal arrows.
However, after some experimenting, I catually managed to get DCpic to
work. It is just a plain TeX file,
I was only scared by the .sty name.
If somebody else runs into the same problem, here is a short example,
for reference. You will need dcpic.sty in your path first. Then
one can create diagrams as follows:
\usemodule[pictexwd]
\input dcpic.sty
\starttext
\begindc{\commdiag}
\obj(1,2){$V_i$}
\obj(3,1){$V'$}
\obj(3,3){$V$}
\mor{$V_i$}{$V$}{$f_i$}
\mor{$V_i$}{$V'$}{$f_i'$}[-1,0]
\mor{$V$}{$V'$}{$f$}
\enddc
\stoptext

Why not use MetaPost? With all of ConTeXt's features for doing in-document
MetaPost code, this would be the perfect solution for your problem. Have a
look at Hans's MetaFUN manual for a good starting point on using it.
Also, I believe the original MetaPost manual has some examples of figures
very much like the ones that you want to draw.

Hi,
although you already have solved your problem, I encourage you to have a
look at the metaobj package for metapost. The 'PSTricks/METAOBJ gallery'
part of the manual (p. 93ff) shows some diagrams you will surely like.
Greetings,
