floatcombination boundingbox
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Hi, I wonder what is going on in the example given below (resulting pdf attached)? The placement of the figures in floatcombination (this does not happen if I place them one by one in a figure) are shifted horizontally, and seems to depend on the boundingbox. Am I doing something wrong? This happens with current version: 2017.06.27 18:05 but also with a version that is some weeks old. /Mikael \setupcombinations[ distance=1cm, ] \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{figa} draw (1cm,1cm) -- origin -- (1cm,-1cm); draw boundingbox currentpicture; \stopuseMPgraphic \startplacefigure[location={nonumber}] \startfloatcombination[nx=2,ny=1] \startplacefigure \useMPgraphic{figa} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure \useMPgraphic{figa} \stopplacefigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \startuseMPgraphic{figb} draw (1cm,1cm) -- origin -- (1cm,-1cm); setbounds currentpicture to ((0,-1cm)--(1cm,-1cm)--(1cm,1cm)--(0,1cm)--cycle) enlarged 0.2cm; draw boundingbox currentpicture; \stopuseMPgraphic \startplacefigure[location={nonumber}] \startfloatcombination[nx=2,ny=1] \startplacefigure \useMPgraphic{figb} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure \useMPgraphic{figb} \stopplacefigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \startuseMPgraphic{figc} draw (1cm,1cm) -- origin -- (1cm,-1cm); setbounds currentpicture to ((0,-1cm)--(1cm,-1cm)--(1cm,1cm)--(0,1cm)--cycle) enlarged 0.5cm; draw boundingbox currentpicture; \stopuseMPgraphic \startplacefigure[location={nonumber}] \startfloatcombination[nx=2,ny=1] \startplacefigure \useMPgraphic{figc} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure \useMPgraphic{figc} \stopplacefigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \stoptext

Problem with lucida fonts (again)
by Eric Détrez 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hello I already had this problem with lucida fonts. When I type text the letter are shifted : "b" becomes "a", "c" becomes "b", ... I solved it with using the stable version. I updated my system and I downloaded again context-minimal. The problem came back with both versions (last or stable). ConTeXt ver: 2017.05.15 21:48 MKIV beta fmt: 2017.6.27 int: english/english ConTeXt ver: 2017.06.27 18:05 MKIV beta fmt: 2017.6.27 int: english/english If I use the tex-live version all is fine ConTeXt ver: 2016.05.17 19:20 MKIV current fmt: 2017.6.27 int: english/english It seems current version does provide a beta. I'm afraid I'll can use Lucida soon -- Eric Détrez Informatique Lycée Faidherbe, Lille http://eric-detrez.fr

Problem with macro with optional parameter
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hello ConTeXist. I'm not able to solve a macros problem with one optional argument. I need the macro to return a value that can be used as a dorecurse loop parameter. Is there possibility create macro with optional parameter and parameter is concurrently inside in braces? (in nonsquare brackets)? I've tried to experiment with examples from the wiki, but I'm not clear about it. Thanx for help. Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is minimal example: \def\DoCommand[#1]% {\iffirstargument#1\else100\fi} \def\Command% {\dosingleargument\DoCommand} %\def\DoAnotherCommand{#1}% % {\iffirstargument#1\else100\fi} %\def\AnotherCommand% % {\dosingleargument\DoAnotherCommand} \starttext 1. \Command[5] % OK 2. \Command % OK %1. \dorecurse{\Command[5]}{\recurselevel\crlf} % not working %2. \dorecurse{\Command}{\recurselevel\crlf} % not working \stoptext

italian index: "I" and "J" under "I", "U" and "V" under "V"
by MF 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hello list, there's a bug in the way ConTeXt groups the items of a register when "indicator=yes" and mainlanguage is "it": - items starting with the J letter are grouped under the I letter - items starting with the V letter are grouped under the U letter This is not what one would expect from an index in modern italian. If you browse an italian dictionary, you will find all the 26 letters. You can test the bug with this code: ---------------------- \starttext \mainlanguage[it] Imbuto\index{imbuto}, Juventus\index{Juventus}, volpe\index{volpe}, Windows\index{Windows}, uovo\index{uovo}, yes\index{yes}. \placeindex[indicator=yes,n=1] \stoptext ---------------------- Is there a way to get around this bug and get all the 26 distinct letters in a register keeping "it" as the main language? Thanks in advance, best regards, Massi

TikZ module not found (TeX Live problem?)
by Gerion Entrup 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Good day, I'm very new to ConTeXt, so maybe this is a fairly simple question. I want to use TikZ in the document. The specific part of the document is: ---- snip ---- \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[positioning] ---- /snip ----- The problem seems to be that ConTeXt does not find the TikZ module. I use mkiv. The relevant output: ---- snip ----- % context test-document.tex mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/gerion/.texlive/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/0399a8df3aef8d154781d0a9c2b8e28d/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="test-document" --lua="/home/gerion/.texlive/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/0399a8df3aef8d154781d0a9c2b8e28d/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./test-document.tex" --c:input="./test-document.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version 1.0.4 (TeX Live 2017) system commands enabled. open source > 1 > 1 > /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2016.05.17 19:20 MKIV current fmt: 2017.6.11 int: english/english system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > 2 > 2 > /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv close source > 2 > 2 > /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv system > files > jobname 'test-document', input './test-document', result 'test-document' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > 2 > 3 > /home/gerion/sourcecode/grisu/test-document/test-document.tex colors > 'rgb' color space is supported colors > 'cmyk' color space is supported resolvers > modules > 'tikz' is not found tex error > tex error on line 6 in file /home/gerion/sourcecode/test-document/test-document.tex: !

Is this a problem of TeX Live (or the distribution packaging)? I've looked in the installed files of texlive-context and other modules are installed, even modules that require TikZ (eg. gantt). Thanks in advance, Gerion
