two dvipos fixes so that it works with ConTeXt
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

[Karl and Norbert CC'ed in case dvipos is going into their trees] The dvipos I have (cvs'ed from cvs.ktug.or.kr:/home/cvsroot) needs two fixes for it to work with the 2007.01.02 context (and maybe with earlier versions too). This is on Ubuntu i386, texlive 2005. Try this file with 'texexec --dvi --nobackend' to see the problems -- or if there are none, let me know why it works for you! =================== begin: to-dvi.tex ================== \defineoverlay [foregraphics] [\positionoverlay{foregraphics}] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background={foreground,foregraphics}] \starttext \hpos{r23}{7} \quad \hpos{r24}{8} \startMPpositiongraphic{mypos:line} mpprocset := 0; % context doesn't yet handle the new mpprocsets path pa, pb, pab ; numeric na, nb ; initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{from}}) ; na := nxy ; pa := llxy..lrxy..urxy..ulxy..cycle ; initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{to}}) ; nb := nxy ; pb := llxy..lrxy..urxy..ulxy..cycle ; if na=nb : pab := center pa -- center pb ; pab := pab cutbefore (pab intersectionpoint pa) ; pab := pab cutafter (pab intersectionpoint pb) ; pickup pencircle; draw pab; anchor_box(\MPanchor{\MPvar{from}}) ; fi ; \stopMPpositiongraphic \startpositionoverlay{foregraphics} \setMPpositiongraphic{r23}{mypos:line}{to=r24} \stoppositionoverlay The pattern. \stoptext =================== end: to-dvi.tex ================== Problems: 1. The dvipos output is in sp (but without labelling that), which confuses the next run of ConTeXt. So the first patch makes dvipos append 'sp' to the coordinates it outputs. That change was easier than hacking the tex macros that parses the output. 2. After that is fixed, the coordinates are wrong, so running the above file again crashes because the boxes are in the wrong place and the paths no longer intersect. The second patch corrects this problem, which is caused by dvipos parsing the dvi file incorrectly. Maybe ConTeXt used to output the dimens in the pos: \special in sp? Anyway, the special now looks like (see to-dvi.dvi): pos:pxywhd "text:1" 426.78743pt 597.51323pt 0.0pt which was being parsed by dvipos as 426 etc. and assumed to be sp, so it was writing junk to to-dvi.tuo file, and the next run was failing becaues the boxes were in the wrong location. So I made dvipos read in floats with 'pt' appended, then convert them to sp. By the way, what is the 'list' that dvipos is looking for after the three dimens above? If anything needs a \pospxyplus, it'll be in trouble since I think 'list' scanf target is not being parsed, so the var remains uninitialized. -Sanjoy `A nation of slaves is always prepared to applaud the clemency of their master who, in the abuse of absolute power, does not proceed to the last extremes of injustice and oppression.'

The file runs fine with ConTeXt 2006-11-24 19:15 so it is something in the last month. (This version is available as the windows stand alone distribution from pragma's website.) Changes in the last 5 weeks to math related files are changes in math-pln.tex. I do not know who these could have caused trouble. The \let\next$ change in core-mat. I reverted back to \def\next{$} inside a test file, and this does not seem to trouble. The colon definitions inside math-tex.tex, they should not cause any problem, unless I redefined a core command. (I do not think so). Some slight changes in math-ext.tex, but that was a wrong definition of harpoons. So, it is either the \everymathematics change, or a change in some macro that is called by \placeformula. Aditya

Script files for third party modules.
by Aditya Mahajan 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hi Hans, Mojca and I are writing a module that uses a vim script to highlight source code. What is the best way to "package" this module. That is, where should the script file go? The ideal location will be scripts/context/vim/macros/ Are third party modules allowed to "pollute" the scripts/ directory? We have another concern while calling the script. We need to call vim using vim [options] -c "source path-to-script/2context.vim" filename This command is called using \externalprogram. We do not want to hard code the location of path to the scirpt. Does it make sense to add VIMINPUTS environment variable to texmfstart, to reduce the search time? Is there a way to locate the file in the texmf-tree and pass the arguments to another program? I copied 2context.vim to texmf-tree and texmfstart --locate 2context.vim gives its location. However texmfstart bin:vim kpse:2context.vim does not load the file. I get texmfstart version 2.0.2 kpse : direct (forced) locating '2context.vim' in program space 'context' locating '2context.vim' in program space 'context' using format 'other text files' 2context.vim is not resolved using 'system' call: vim 2context.vim What is the correct way of finding something in the texmf-tree but outside program space 'context'?
