How to center a \placefloat?
by Marcin Borkowski 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Hi list, I'd like to have a figure (by means of \placefigure) centered horizontally. Currently, I'm doing \placefigure[bottom,none,middle]{}{% \hbox to\textwidth{\hfil\externalfigure[logo-2-t][height=1.5cm]\hfil}} Is there a better way? If yes, how to do this? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

1. \setupbackgrounds with colours 2. \textwidth = 1.09\textwidth?
by Rudolf Bahr 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Hello listmembers, 1. With "\setupbackgrounds" finally I achieved what I intended (see pdf-file), according to Context reference manual p. 187. But a question remains: Is it a feature of context not to colourize header and footer alone, but only in conjunction with text? 2. In the appended pdf-file it is also to be seen, that the horizontal \hrule strokes are wider than \textwidth, i.e. they begin in leftmargin and extend to within rightmargin, whereas the vertical \vrule strokes exactly are as high as expected. Is there a bug in my program? Regards, Rudolf % -------------------------------------------------------------------------->8 % vim:tw=150: \language[de] \setuppapersize [A4,landscape]% \setuplayout [% backspace=42.65mm,leftedge=2mm,leftmargin=20mm,leftmargindistance=5pt,textwidth=230mm,% rightmargindistance=5pt,rightmargin=20mm,rightedge=2mm% topspace=22mm,header=12mm,headerdistance=2mm,textheight=164mm,footerdistance=2mm,footer=12mm% ]% \showframe \showsetups % works as expected, the whole page is red: \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=color, backgroundcolor=red] % the next does nothing, even being alone (the other \setupbackgrounds commented out) % I tried to colorize only header and footer, without text \setupbackgrounds [text] [header,footer] [background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow] % works as expected: All 15 areas darkgreen + rest of uncovered page red \setupbackgrounds [header,text,footer] [leftedge,leftmargin,text,rightmargin,rightedge] [background=color, backgroundcolor=darkgreen] % works as expected: Only text area white, other areas unchanged.

Indenting after floating image
by Jan Tosovsky 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Dear All, when an indenting is set, it is applied in a smart way and sometimes suppressed, e.g after images. But when the image is floating and forced to be displayed on a separate page, I would expect the indenting of the following paragraph preserved. Currently it doesn't, see this example: \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \setupindenting[medium, yes] \starttext \input{ward} \startplacefigure[number=no, location={page}, title={}] \externalfigure[cow] \stopplacefigure \input{ward} \stoptext Is there a global switch for it or am I to force the indenting in these cases manually? Thanks, Jan

ConTeXt minimal on chromebook
by John Kitzmiller 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

I attempted to put ConTeXt minimal on Samsung chromebook and got: Error: your system "Linux armv7l" is not supported yet. Please report to the ConTeXt mailing-list (ntg-context(a)ntg.nl) This is not a request to support the armv7l (unless it is trivial) but, is it futile to attempt installing minimal on a chromebook with Intel ATOM N570, or Intel Celeron-867? (If I had them at hand I would try.)

wrong \sc i with Palatino Linotype
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Dear list, I have noticed that ConTeXt (beta from 2014.02.14 17:07) has a problem with Palatino Linotype. Here the sample: \definefontfeature[capstosc][c2sc=yes] \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Palatino Linotype] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext {\addfeature[capstosc] AEIOU} \sc aeiou \stoptext All vowels are fine, but the i is a dotted small cap i. The regular small cap i is defined as i.sc (and the dotted small cap i is defined as i.sc too). But FontForge applies both c2sc and smcp substitutions fine. Is there any way to solve this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Pgfplots - passing point coordinates by Lua
by Lukáš Procházka 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

Hello, I just started experimenting with pgfplots package. I'd have two questions: 1) When plotting/loading a data file: Is it possible to specify the comment mark, which is '#' and '%" by default? I'd need to treat ';' as a comment mark, too. 2) How to pass coordinates of plot points by Lua? The following code: ---- \usemodule[tikz] \usemodule[pgfplots] \startluacode data = {{5, 15}, {20, 20}, {24, -24}} plot = function(data) local str for i, v in ipairs(data) do str = (str or "") .. "(" .. v[1] .. "," .. v[2] .. ")" end print("Crds=", str) context(str) end \stopluacode \starttext \starttikzpicture \startaxis[] \addplot[mark=none,color=red] coordinates {(11, 5) (12, 18)}; % THIS PLOT IS OK \addplot[mark=none,color=red] coordinates {\ctxlua{plot(data)}}; % THIS PLOT HAS NO POINT (?!) \stopaxis \stoptikzpicture \stoptext ---- gives error: " ... fonts > fallback modern rm 12pt is loaded Crds= (5,15)(20,20)(24,-24) Package pgfplots: Error! Sorry, I could not read the plot coordinates near '(5,15)(20,20)(24,-24)'. Please check for format mistakes. ! Package pgfplots Warning: the current plot has no coordinates (or all have been filtered away)... " Any idea from someone more familiar with pgfplots would be appreciated. TIA.

Frames instead of crop marks in arranging
by Marcin Borkowski 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

Hi list, I'd like to have all my pages (arranged by \setuparranging[XY]) put into a frame (so that hand-cutting is easier). Is there an easy way to achieve this? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
