- TikZ/PGF
- Data plotting with Gnuplot, or MPgraph, or TikZ/Pgfplot
- FlowCharts
- Gantt charts
- Infinite Paper
- scale, mirror, rotate, clip (Old Content 2010)
ConTeXt tools
- Overlays: ConTeXt's mechanism to stack local snippets
- Layers: ConTeXt's mechanism for absolute positioning of elements and other advanced techniques like switching elements on and off.
- Logos: ConTeXt 's mechanism to mage appear logos (picture or text elements) on every page
- Image database with XML
- Collectors, alternative to overlays
- Sharing graphics
- Including pages from PDF documents
Tricks
- Image Placement: if you’re using ConTeXt for complex layout tasks, you may need to calculate with image sizes. Often it makes sense to use Lua functions.
- can play with Drop shadows
- Example photo page layout (Old Content)
