tikz-cd - commutative diagrams
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Dear gang, The tikz module works, as per the attached attached test file. I need some commutative diagrams and found something relatively recent and interesting: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikz-cd But \input'ing the file tikz-cd.tex after the tikz module does not work; I get an undefined control sequence for a normal tikz command. I commented the LaTeX commands % \ProvidesPackage{tikz-cd}[2012/12/30 v0.3c Commutative diagrams with tikz.] % \RequirePackage{tikz}[2010/10/13] % pgf version 2.10 required and the rest is just pgf syntax. What else do I need to do to get this working properly? Do I need to place tikz-cd in the pgf tree? If so, where? In the attached I have not used any code that depends on tikz-cd; comment \usemodule[tikz-cd] and the file runs fine. Thanks for any advice and Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Vertical location of combinations
by Aditya Mahajan 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

How do I control the vertical location of combinations? I want output similar to ABC \framed[frame=no, location=top]}\startcombination[2] {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{One} {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{Two} \stopcombination} DEF without having to explictly add a \frame. Looking at pack-com, I tried \useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcombination[location=top] \starttext ABC \startcombination[2] {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{One} {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{Two} \stopcombination DEF ABC \framed[frame=no, location=top]}\startcombination[2] {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{One} {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{Two} \stopcombination} DEF \stoptext but the combination is still aligned to the baseline of the caption. Thanks, Aditya

Is there a pissibility to manually page-break the toc?

The grid=no is simply ignored for the toc-page (as many grid=no options are ignored in many environments and commands, seems to be field open for improvements). Is there another idear for a workaround? At the moment I have only one option: resigning these different font sizes in the toc, which are defined manually absolutely (possible, but awkward) Is there maybe another "trick" to deactivate gridsetting, analogical to placeongrid, or tricks with tables, or so? I am experimenting here, too, of course :) Huseyin

New user of ConTeXt
by Tristan Lorino 15 Apr '13

Hi, I'm beginning with ConTeXt. With the code below, the outpout pdf file shows space symbols between the three words of the title (cf. attached file): ---------------------------------------- \setupbodyfont[11pt] \enableregime[utf-8] \mainlanguage[fr] \starttext \setMPtext {1} {C'est le titre} \startMPcode pickup pencircle scaled .5mm ; pair a; a :=(0.2cm,.5cm); label.rt("\MPtext {1}",a); draw (0cm,0cm)--(8cm,0cm); draw (8cm,0cm)..(8.15cm,0.08cm)..(8.2cm,0.18cm); draw (8.2cm,0.18cm)--(8.7cm,1.7cm); \stopMPcode \stoptext ---------------------------------------- How can I avoid these symbols?

Figures and Lua (continuing "Number of pages by Lua of a figure to be inserted?" somehow)
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello, I tried to make a "more minimal" example. Still we have: files: ./t3.mkiv ./T/Kn.pdf and code: ---- \startluacode test = function(fn) local fig = figures.push{name = fn} if figures.identify().status.status ~= 0 then figures.check() end figures.pop() return fn .. ": " .. (fig.used.pages or "?") .. "\\par" end \stopluacode \starttext AAA \startluacode context(test("T/Kn.pdf")) -- Found - OK context(test("Kn.pdf")) -- Not found - OK \stopluacode \setupexternalfigures[directory=T] \startluacode context(test("Kn.pdf")) -- Not found (or unknown number of pages) - UNEXPECTED - why? ("3rd call") \stopluacode \externalfigure[Kn.pdf][scale=625] % Found - OK \stoptext ---- The 3rd call of 'test()' seems to not locate 'Kn.pdf' although the path was altered by preceding \setupexternalfigures. How to modify the 'test()' to work properly even in the 3rd case? NB: Sorry for repeating the topic "in another coat" - it may not be so interesting for listeners of this mailing list. But the goal is to add figures and PDF files into the document automatically. One of the tasks is to detect number of pages of the figure. The code above is a core cut out; it should work (or: if this part wouldn't work, neither would the rest) even in the 3rd case. Any help to make the piece of code work would be appreciated.

[***SPAM***] Title of figure not below the figure, but on the right side
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

I usually use: \startplacefigure [title=Some very explanative title.] \externalfigure[tollesbild][width=2cm] \stopplacefigure And this sets the title under the figure, perfect for me in general. But now I have a figure, where the (pretty long) title-text should be on the right side, how to get this? Huseyin

Deactivating gridsetting for TOC
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi there, thanks for the many helps today, again! Because I use different font sizes for the titles in the TOC (depending on the title-level), I have problems with grid-setting. It makes sometimes blank lines between two titles in the toc. I understand that behaviour, it is because of the different sizes. Instead of involved testings with different sizes and vertical spaces, can I simply switch off the grid-setting for the toc? That would be the easiest. I tried \placeongrid{\completecontent}, and that works, no more blank lines. But now the complete toc is set on one page only, but the toc is much to big for only one page, so it is set beyong the page buttom, and disappears in the pdf-nirvana :D Is there a feature/option "grid" for toc in \completecontent or anything like that? Thanks. Huseyin

Bug in the latest beta
by Jannik Voges 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello ConTeXt-Users, I have found a bug, when using \writetolist: \starttext \writetolist[chapter]{}{test} \stoptext That gives an error, but changing the list to a not predefined list doesn't. For example \definelist[chapter1] \starttext \writetolist[chapter1]{}{test} \stoptext Thanks Jannik

Joinedup itemization with margin
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi there, I want a joined itemization (I just want no empty lines between two items, is this what "joinedup" means?) with a margin on the left side, so that the complete itemization is indented. My try is this: ++++++++++++++++++ \starttext \startitemize[joinedup] \item First enumeration. \item Second. \item Third. \stopitemize \startitemize[joinedup, margin=1em] \item First enumeration. \item Second. \item Third. \stopitemize \stoptext ++++++++++++++++++ The first example is without indentation, its fine. But the second example does not work properly, it makes the indentation, but ignores the joinedup, so that one has again empty lines between items. I think "joinedup" is the wrong feature, which is the correct one for my purpose? Huseyin
