I do not know when Till Tantau first tried to port pgf to context. A while back I told him that this is no longer true for ConTeXt .... but there has not been a new release of the manual for a while. I also found the following to be funny: 2.2.3 Setting up the Environment in ConTEXt Karl’s uncle Hans uses ConTEXt. Like Gerda, Hans can also use TikZ. If you decide to try it, check out the code from CVS rather than from CTAN. There have been some changes since version 1.10, many of them improve the compatibility with ConTeXt (colors, etc.) Aditya
