trouble with \startMPinclusions[+]
by Sanjoy Mahajan 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

The small test file below uses \startMPinclusions[+], but it produces "TeX capacity exceeded" from what looks like an endless loop. The error msgs are below the file. This is with context 2006.08.08 21:51, and the live ConTeXt (2006.09.17) gives the same error. [I was trying to test whether I could replicate my standalong metapost programming style within metafun. I often have: u := 1cm; % a couple figures using this u:=1cm unit size; beginfig(1) fill ... endfig; etc. % now a few figures with a different unit size u := 1.5cm; beginfig(10) fill ... endfig; ... So I wanted to see whether I could use \startMPinclusions[+] midway through the source file, in between several \start(stop)reusableMPgraphic blocks, to change u between figures. But the error msgs intervened. Anyway, here's the file. The currentcolor(def) in the error msgs makes me wonder whether it's related to the new code to make there be a fixed current color before each figure?] =================== cut here ================= \starttext \startreusableMPgraphic{a} fill fullcircle scaled 1cm; \stopreusableMPgraphic \placefigure[force,none]{}{\reuseMPgraphic{a}} hello % instead, just \startMPinclusions works (i.e. without the [+]) \startMPinclusions[+] \stopMPinclusions \startreusableMPgraphic{b} fill fullcircle scaled 1cm; \stopreusableMPgraphic \placefigure[force,none]{}{\reuseMPgraphic{b}} hello2 \stoptext =================== cut here ================= And a piece of the log: floatblocks : order disturbed floatblocks : 1 placed color : currentcolor (def) is not defined ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=1500]. \theMPinclusions ->\theMPinclusions \writeMPgraphic { } \theMPinclusions ->\theMPinclusions \writeMPgraphic { } \theMPinclusions ->\theMPinclusions \writeMPgraphic { } \theMPinclusions ->\theMPinclusions \writeMPgraphic { } \theMPinclusions ->\theMPinclusions \writeMPgraphic { } \theMPinclusions ->\theMPinclusions \writeMPgraphic { } ... l.19 ...cefigure[force,none]{}{\reuseMPgraphic{b}} If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

flow charts

Dear Friends, I am trying to generate a simple flow chart. Does anybody have a complete working sample file, as simple as possible, that I could use as a starting point? Thanks in advance. Robert

FLOWcharts
by Adam Duck 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hello list, I have some FLOWcharts in my presentation; due to the RawSteps module, they get rendered too many times pointlessly. Is it possible to "prerender" a FLOWchart -- or any other part of a text -- and reuse it later? \startbuffer \stopbuffer doesn't do this. cu, Adam.

ConTeXt submissions to arxiv.org
by Sanjoy Mahajan 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

I'd asked arxiv.org, the wonderful open-access preprint server used in most fields of physics, which accepts most varieties of TeX in source form (and non-TeX formats in PDF): Are there plans for arxiv to support ConTeXt submissions? One could try a PDF-only submission, but it will probably be rejected as coming from TeX (for which arxiv wants the source)? For almost 20 years I've used plain TeX but got weary doing a lot of page layout by hand, so decided to skip over LaTeX to ConTeXt. With their permission, I include their response. So, encourage your colleagues!

If it is too complicated to convert your ConTeXt submissions to TeX, please submit the PDF and make note of this email exchange. Thank you. - -- arXiv admin

Here is the setting in my texmf.cnf: % Words of font info for TeX (total size of all TFM files, approximately). font_mem_size = 2500000 (it was 500000 before I changed the value). Sorry I can't be of more help, but I know nothing about windoze. Thomas

I have overlooked the star. I think everything is OK, only the star should be removed. The redefinition is for expansion.

In my opinion it confuses the user. I would redefine \defineXMLenvironmentsave [cd:variable] [value=] {{\expanded{\setupintfont{% \getinterfacecomponent{variable}{\XMLop{value}}}}}\ignorespaces} {\ignorespaces} to \defineXMLenvironmentsave [cd:variable] [value=] {{\expanded{% \getinterfacecomponent{variable}{\XMLop{value}}}}\ignorespaces} {\ignorespaces} Vit
