Hi Sytse,

I see, you need a shape that spans n cells. I must figure out a way to
extend the flow charter with that (i.e. a kind of virtual shape, where the
lines are still drawn from separate nodes, something:
\startFLOWspan
\name{Obs}
\location{1,1}
\shape{action}
\text{{\bf observations}}
\stopFLOWspan
so let's put that on the todo list ... (remind me in a while, i need to
print the modules and look into it)
For the moment, you can do something:
\startFLOWchart[Observations] % The bigger shape
\setupFLOWcharts
[nx=3,
ny=2,
dx=40pt,
dy=25pt,
breedte=260pt,
hoogte=130pt]
\startFLOWcell
\name{Obs}
\location{1,1}
\shape{action}
\text{{\bf observations}}
\stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart
\startFLOWchart[Parameters] % The smaller shapes
\setupFLOWcharts
[nx=5,
ny=2,
dx=40pt,
dy=25pt,
breedte=110pt,
hoogte=130pt]
... you need to fix the widths and distances (some kind of larger grid) but
since calculations is part of your profession i leave that to you -)
(you can use \dimexpr for that)
