Tough one to debug in figure library
by David Arnold 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

All, In my figure library, I had: <figure> <file>section5figs-mpgraph.6</file> <label>sec5scaling5 </label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> In my source, I had: \startbuffer[table] \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[column][each][align={middle,lohi}] \setupTABLE[row][first][topframe=on,bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE[column][first][leftframe=on] \setupTABLE[column][2][leftframe=on] \setupTABLE[column][last][leftframe=on,rightframe=on] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD $x$ \eTD \bTD $y=f((1/2)x)$ \eTD \bTD $(x,f((1/2)x))$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $-4$ \eTD \bTD $0$ \eTD \bTD $(-4,0)$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $-2$ \eTD \bTD $2$ \eTD \bTD $(-2,2)$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $0$ \eTD \bTD $0$ \eTD \bTD $(0,0)$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $2$ \eTD \bTD $-2$ \eTD \bTD $(2,-2)$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $4$ \eTD \bTD $0$ \eTD \bTD $(4,0)$ \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer \startbuffer[figure] \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[sec5scaling5]}{(a)} {\getbuffer[table]}{(b)} \stopcombination \stopbuffer \placefigure [][fig:scaling5] {The points in the table are points on the graph of $y=f((1/2)x)$.} {\getbuffer[figure]} I got messages that the figure sec5scaling5 could not be found. Whew! Long time trying to figure out what was wrong. Checked the usual dumb things I do, but finally, I changed: <figure> <file>section5figs-mpgraph.6</file> <label>sec5scaling5 </label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> to: <figure> <file>section5figs-mpgraph.6</file> <label>sec5scaling5</label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> See how I closed up the space? Figure now found!

Difficulties using the r module
by Matthew Routley 10 Jul '06

Johan, > It appears R is not found. Is it on the path? Does it have the same > name on the Mac? Yes, R is in the bath and is found in /usr/bin/R which is a link to /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R. Thanks for your help with this. Take care, Matt -- Matthew Routley http://matt.routleynet.org

enumerations and fomrula with same counter
by David Arnold 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

All, Let me adjust my previous post with this request. How can I get my enumerations and my formulae to use the same counter? All, How do you get two enumerations to use a common counter? This didn't work. \setupoutput[pdf] \newcounter\NonFigCtr \define\nctr{\doglobal\increment\NonFigCtr \color[red]{[\NonFigCtr]}} \defineenumeration [remark] [location=serried, width=broad, text=Remark, headstyle=bold, inbetween=\blank, before=\blank, after=\blank, way=bysection, number=nctr] \defineenumeration [definition] [location=serried, width=broad, text=Definition, headstyle=bold, inbetween=\blank, before=\blank, after=\blank, way=bysection, number=nctr] \starttext \startremark Foo \stopremark \placeformula[eqa;one] \startformula f(x)=x^2 \stopformula \startdefinition Foo \stopdefinition \stoptext The goal is to have these come out: Remark 1. f(x)=x^2 (2) Definition 3. A second goal is to include the section number. Remark 5-1. f(x)=x^2 (5-2) Definition 5-3.

Frank, I am also trying to do a similar project. My way not be a good one, but here is how I am trying to do it. Basically, I use columnsets (see manual columns.pdf from PRAGMA) to typeset my newsletter. I am using a 3 column layout and want a column containing the "Table of Contents" on the right side (3rd column). \definecolumnset[example][n=3] \setupcolumnsetlines[example][1][3][-50] % From Page 1, Column 3, % remove 50 lines % I will put the TOC on % Column 3 \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \placefigure[fxtb:3*1]{none}{\framed[frame=off, height=5cm, width=\textwidth, background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow]{\blue\txx\placecontent}} \input Newsletter_Final \stopcolumnset \stoptext Saji .. > I'm trying to move a newsletter from a DTP program to ConTeXt.

I played around with the framed command and layers, but > did not find a way to put the TOC in a frame at a specific location. > What would be a ConTeXt way of doing this? > Regards, > Frank

MyriadPro?
by Michal Kvasnicka 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Good evening. I tried to use MyriadPro font (associated with Linux version of AdobeReader 7.x). First I've converted it to .afm/.pfb through FontForge (with default setting since I don't know how to use it). Then I've generated metrics and the rest TeX stuff with texfont---I've used lm-ec encoding. (I know that this way I loose all those wonderful features of Profi fonts---I don't care, I simply like basic look of the font.) All worked well in ConTeXt---until I found that Czech letters (those with acutes and carons and rings) are present only in the Regular font, not in the Bold and Italic. Can you explain me 1) how is it possible, and 2) how to use this font to typeset Czech documents (i.e. to get a full ec-encoded fonts from it)? Can I expect the same kind of problems with MinionPro as well? Many thanks for your answers. I wish you nice summer. Michal Kvasnicka

Metapost label alignment etc.
by Idris Samawi Hamid 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Dear knights, I spent a few hours today with MetaPost and MetaFun, my first serious stab at Meta in many years, so I'm a virtual newbie (used PSTricks back in the LaTeX days). I am trying to basically duplicate the attached pdf graphic and need help with the following: 1. This code is pretty naive; how can I make it more efficient? Eg, can I make a global "scaled 1cm" declaration instead of repeating it so many times? 2. ConTeXt's alignment mechanism apparently does not work in MetaPost (alignment is commented); is there a workaround? ragged left needed for some labels. 3. What is the most efficient way to get labels to follow the diagonals as in the attached pdf? Any tips/trick will be appreciated!
