Hello All, In the following minimal example there is no whitespace around the figure. Is it possible to add some white space around the figure when using \startTEXpage \stopTEXpage environment. Thank you. \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \startTEXpage \starttikzpicture \draw[fill=blue!20] (0,0) rectangle (3,2); \stoptikzpicture \stopTEXpage \stoptext Regards, Bharat

I've added this to the TABLE wiki since this example above is a table, however I suspect this would work for any "frame". Is there a reason why this doesn't work with mkii? I'm not using mkii for a long time now, just the wiki didn't rendered this example properly and also on my local machine it didn't show the thick rules, works perfectly with mkiv though. Cheers Adam

Dear Zhichu and Aditya, Thank you for the solution. label (textext("$z_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), z[i]) ; is working well. Best regards, Dalyoung

Fastcolor and linenumbering in MkII
by Aditya Mahajan 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi, In MkII, linenumbering stops working if \dostartattributes with a color is used inside; for example: \setupcolors[state=start] \getparameters[test][color=red,style=] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dostartattributes{test}{style}{color} Why no number? \dostopattributes \stoplinenumbering \stoptext The output of the above does not have a line number. I have been able to reduce it to the following minimal example. \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startlinenumbering \faststartcolor[red] Why no number? \faststopcolor \stoplinenumbering \stoptext It works if I add any text before \faststartcolor \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startlinenumbering Got it now! % or \strut \faststartcolor[red] Why no number? \faststopcolor \stoplinenumbering \stoptext What is going on here? Of course, everything works correctly in MkIV. Aditya

Strange bug with arranging
by Aditya Mahajan 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi, I am using MkIV 2011.03.30, and arranging is not working correctly. For example, \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \starttext \subject{One} \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth\relax} \subject{Two} \dorecurse{4}{\input tufte\relax} \stoptext which gives the attached output. Notice that page 4 (right hand page of actual page 2) is empty and the text is moved to page 5. Any idea what is going on? Aditya

How to add metapost 3rd party modules
by Joshua Lee 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi All, I would like to use metauml modules with context, but context can not find it from ~/texmf/metapost/metauml directory. What the context search path for the 3rd party metapost modules? Thanks in advance. Br/JL -- Joshua Lee

> But it run into compiling error. For you convenience, append the > sources for mpost and context. As for metauml, have a look at this example: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/049511.html This works for me with the latest beta. For quick testing purposes just put the metauml (mp) files where your tex file is. Adam PS: The label offset problem is still present, so don't be surprised.

writing a label with a subscript in MetaFun.
by Jeong Dalyoung 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Dear all, I'd like to write a label with a subscript in MetaFun where the subscript is a variable. I tried in several way but not succeed. The best which I made is for i= 0 upto 8: label( "z" & decimal i, z[i]); endfor; So the output is z1, z2, z3, ... And, the following commands are not working. label(btex z_i etex, z[i]); no error but the value of i is not listed. label(btex z_\MPvar{i} etex, z[i]); error Is there a good way to do that? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] rules with different thickness

> It’s the same as in the past, use MetaPost but there are better ways to change values of certain borders: As much as I like and prefer this solution, I can't get it to work as the old one. With the old one I had a frame 1pt, and just made a 2pt metapost frame around the last row. With the new example of yours I've came up with a minimal example that I've attached. I have to do the table setups, since I'm making the table via a macro, but for the simplicity I left that out from the minimal example. The problem is, that every even row seems to have thicker right/left and top borders, why is that? With both solution if I just draw a thicker bottom line it goes off on the right and left side. Can this be solved somehow? Thanks, Adam
