mptopdf problems
by Thomas A. Schmitz 31 Oct '06

31 Oct '06

Hi all, I'm struggling with a new installation here on my MacBook. One problem I have is that mptopdf bails out when I have textext code in my mpgraphics. There were a couple of similar problems in the mailing list a while back, but no real solution. When I compare the mpgraph.log output from this new install with the output from a good installation, these are the diffs I get: -(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx) **test-mpgraph.mp (test-mpgraph.mp -{randomseed:=33} -write0 = `test-mpgraph.mpo'. +{randomseed:=3203} -write0 = `test-mpgraph.mpt'. +! Extra tokens will be flushed. +<to be read again> + @@@ +<argument> ...font [MyAGaramondPrempnum,11pt] "@@@ + string.contextversion +graphictextdirective->...graphictextstring&(TEXT0) + &CRLF; +<to be read again> + ; +l.19 string contextversion; + +? x - [1] -metafun 2006-10-30 22:30 - ) -1 output file written: test-mpgraph.1 From what I've understood, metapost seems to be calling the wrong text (tex instead of texexec), but where can this be fixed? The configuration on both installations is identical (write 18 enabled, identical cont-sys.tex). Thanks Thomas

Sorry, this was supposed to go to the list, not to Aditya privately: On Oct 30, 2006, at 10:03 PM, Aditya Mahajan wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > This is a wild guess.

Your fix appears to work; now, I get a proper index again. > Did you try texexec.rb? The message looks to be coming from ruby. I am, in fact, using the ruby script; I just find the --version output of the perl variant much clearer; that's why I use it just for verification of the formats etc. Thanks again! Thomas

texmfstart not recognizing $page
by Aditya Mahajan 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hi Hans, In the latest beta texmfstart --page=1 --file=metafun-p.pdf does not work. This is the verbose output texmfstart version 2.0.0 locating 'metafun-p.pdf' in current path '.' locating 'metafun-p.pdf' in caller path 'f:/Research/Feedback/AC' kpse : direct (forced) using 'kpsewhich' to locate 'metafun-p' in suffix space 'pdf' (2) checking E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-mswin\BIN for metafun-p checking E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\bin for metafun-p checking E:\Ruby\bin for metafun-p checking E:\Python24\ for metafun-p checking E:\Perl\bin for metafun-p checking E:\Program Files\R\R-2.3.1\bin for metafun-p checking E:\bin for metafun-p checking for metafun-p checking E:\Vim\vim70 for metafun-p aggressively locating 'metafun-p' in document trees locating 'metafun-p' in document tree 'e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/doc*' registering 'metafun-p' as 'e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf' registering 'THREAD' as 'e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals' starting metafun-p.pdf using 'system' call: e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf using 'system' call: pdfopen --page --file e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf using 'system' call: acroread e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf Even the simple texmfstart metafun-p.pdf fails with texmfstart version 2.0.0 locating 'metafun-p.pdf' in current path '.' locating 'metafun-p.pdf' in caller path 'f:/Research/Feedback/AC' kpse : direct (forced) using 'kpsewhich' to locate 'metafun-p' in suffix space 'pdf' (2) checking E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-mswin\BIN for metafun-p checking E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\bin for metafun-p checking E:\Ruby\bin for metafun-p checking E:\Python24\ for metafun-p checking E:\Perl\bin for metafun-p checking E:\Program Files\R\R-2.3.1\bin for metafun-p checking E:\bin for metafun-p checking for metafun-p checking E:\Vim\vim70 for metafun-p aggressively locating 'metafun-p' in document trees locating 'metafun-p' in document tree 'e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/doc*' registering 'metafun-p' as 'e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf' registering 'THREAD' as 'e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals' starting metafun-p.pdf using 'system' call: e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf using 'system' call: pdfopen --page --file e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf using 'system' call: acroread e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/docroot/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf The first system call fails since ruby uses "/" rather than "\" as the directory separator and windows does not like that. The second system call fails since $page is '' (I don't know why). A pdfopen --page --file filename always fails. The third system call fails since acroread is not present. I fail to understand why $page is expanding to '' rather than 2 (or 0 in the second case). Aditya

I see in the code that \useexternalfigure has got a parameter #4 not mentioned in the manual. Being unable to find its meaning in the comments, will someone tell me what it is used for? Hans van der Meer

character width
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

Hi, for fine-adjusting I need to have a variable horizontal space sometimes the width of "999" sometimes of "1", for example. Is there a command that reads the width of a character so it can be used in some kind of horizontal space? Steffen

I'm still playing with Designer, and actually I can't figure how to make chained lists of objects. Here 1 0 obj is Catalog with /Fields [8 0 R]; following all references R , we will end with 22 0 obj (a leaf) which is a /Type /Annot. My problem now is how to make all 'internal nodes' like 8 0 obj , 25 0 obj and so on. I suspect double-pass strategy..... luigi ------------------------------------------------------------- 1 0 obj <</Names 2 0 R /MarkInfo <</Marked true >> /Pages 3 0 R /StructTreeRoot null /Metadata 4 0 R /AcroForm <</DA (/Helv 0 Tf 0 g ) /DR <</Font <</Helv 5 0 R /ArialMT 6 0 R /CourierStd 7 0 R >> >> /Fields [8 0 R] /XFA [(preamble) 9 0 R (config) 10 0 R (template) 11 0 R (datasets) 12 0 R (localeSet) 13 0 R (postamble) 14 0 R] >> /Type /Catalog >> endobj 8 0 obj <</Kids [25 0 R] /T <feff006d006f00640075006c006f0031005b0030005d> >> endobj 25 0 obj <</Parent 8 0 R /Kids [23 0 R 26 0 R] /T <feff0053006f00740074006f006d006f00640075006c0069005b0030005d> >> endobj 23 0 obj <</Parent 25 0 R /Kids [22 0 R] /T <feff0053006f00740074006f004d006f00640075006c006f0031005b0030005d> >> endobj 22 0 obj <</Q 0 /MK <<>> /P 15 0 R /FT /Tx /TU (Campo di testo) /StructParent 0 /Parent 23 0 R /F 4 /TM (modulo1[0].Sottomoduli[0].SottoModulo1[0].Campoditesto1[0]) /DA (/ArialMT 10.00 Tf 0 g) /Subtype /Widget /DV (TESTO) /Type /Annot /T <feff00430061006d0070006f006400690074006500730074006f0031005b0030005d> /Rect [145.205 765.213 235.913 785.055] >> endobj

Angel-Luis, I'm not sure why you do not get a table of contents, maybe try to add criterium=all to the \setupcombinedlist command and see if that works? Also, you have used \placecontent, which you can use instead of \completecontent. I've tried your settings using the live ConTeXt on the wiki and it works without the page numbers in the margin. Looking at your sample file, the lines with the sections are somehow shifted to the right. It is not possible to see why this is happening. Are you shure you have not added something somewhere to change the appearance of the list?

Re: [NTG-context] TABLE in item

> \let\beforeTABLEsplitbox\relax > \let\afterTABLEsplitbox \relax > \let\beforeTABLEbox \relax > \let\afterTABLEbox \relax > > you can play with these macros since they are the formal hooks Hans, I played with \let\beforeTABLEsplitbox\dontleavehmode \def\afterTABLEsplitbox{\relax\dontleavehmode} \let\beforeTABLEbox\dontleavehmode \let\afterTABLEbox\relax which gives the right indents but stops the tables splitting. I think I will just have to live with non-splitting tables for now, unless you can suggest a better redefinition? Thanks very much for the help anyway. Duncan
