bar graphs, m-graph, sarith
by John Kitzmiller 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

When trying to make a bar graph with m-graph.mkiv and sarith, the command Ssub (string subtract) seems to Sadd instead. An mwe of a bar graph: (data1 is a separate file containing 01 02 02 03) \usemodule[m-graph] \startMPpage[instance=graph] input sarith; draw begingraph(5cm,5cm); gdata("data1", v, path p; augment.p(v1,0); augment.p(v1,v2) augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",v2); augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",0); gfill p--cycle withcolor .8white; gdraw p--cycle; ); endgraph; \stopMPpage ...which gives bars of width 0.4 starting at abscissa 1 and 2 as expected. To increase the width of the bars to 0.8 and have them centered over 1 and 2, I expect to Ssub from the first two augments: \usemodule[m-graph] \startMPpage[instance=graph] input sarith; draw begingraph(5cm,5cm); gdata("data1", v, path p; augment.p(v1 Ssub "0.4",0); augment.p(v1 Ssub "0.4",v2); augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",v2); augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",0); gfill p--cycle withcolor .8white; gdraw p--cycle; ); endgraph; \stopMPpage However, the Ssub adds instead and gives a line at 1.4 and 2.4. Compiling the above with mpost or mptopdf gives the desired result(s), but I am curious if this can be resolved so such bar graphs could be made within ConTeXT/METAFUN. Thanks! John

Use the normal and not the developer list for such a question. 2. You can omit the \usetypescript line. 3. Move the \setupbodyfont setting *before* \startcomponent. 4. Add \definebodyfontenvironment[10.5pt] to your document. Wolfgang

\widowpenalty=10000 and still a widow line
by Alan Bowen 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

In my environment file, I have \clubpenalty=10000 \widowpenalty=10000 \setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict] \setuptolerance[horizontal,tolerant] and yet on occasion I still get widow lines.Does any one have suggestions about strategies to remedy this either in general or on a case by case basis? (I am not sure of how to generate an example of the problem or if that would even help.) Alan

[***SPAM***] How to reduce vertical spacing after this table
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

I'Ve been trying dozens of combinations to try to reduce the vertical space between the a table and the local footer to some items in the table, but have just been running into a wall. Here is a minimal example. For my application there is just too much space between the bottom of the table and the footnote. That is the problem. Also is there a more elegant way to get the footnote aligned under the table to the left side. I am using narrower to force it to postion. This doesn't show up right in the minimal, but it works. Help in solving this would be greatly appreciated. %---------------- \defineconversion[fnsym][\m{\dagger},\m{*},\m{**},\m{***}] % footnote header symbols \starttext \subject{Subject Name} \blank \startlocalfootnotes % [conversion=set fnsym] \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym,rule=off] % change footnote symbols \midaligned { \placetable[here,none][]{} { \setuptables[bodyfont=10pt,after=\nowhitespace,spaceafter=none] \starttable[|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|] \HL \VL X-ITEM \VL \VL$\oplus$ \footnote[hanzi]{Traditional Characters} \VL \VL$\oplus$ \note[hanzi]\VL\VL$\oplus$ \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL\MR \VL Y-ITEM \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL\MR \HL \stoptable } } \setupnarrower[left=2.5cm] % to align footnote under the table \startnarrower[left] \placelocalfootnotes[here] \stopnarrower \stoplocalfootnotes \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=n,rule=on] % restore footnotes to global \stoptext %----------------

relative references?
by Steffen Kram 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

Hello, is it possible to reference parts of a document in a "relative" style? My structure is as follows: \startproduct … \startbodymatter \component chapterFoo/main \component chapterBar/main \stopbodymatter … \stopproduct Each of my chapters uses \chapter, \section … \subsubsubsection markers. I would like to use references for each of them. Is it possible to reference for example the subsection "Foo AA" from the chapter start with an relative reference such as \chapter[sec:foo]{Foo} \in[fooA:fooAA] \section[fooA]{Foo A} \subsection[fooAA]{Foo AA} but when referencing it from the second chapter use a absolute reference: \chapter[sec:bar]{Bar} \in[sec:foo:fooA:fooAA] … Is this possible? Or must I use absolute references and identifiers everywhere? Cheers, Steffen

suggestion: setups for \startitem
by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

Hi, this is just a small suggestion for the interface: since a while, we've had \startitem \stopitem. Would it be possible / feasible / interesting to add a bit of configuration to it? I tried looking at the source. but couldn't find anything. This minimal example explains what I mean: \starttext \startitemize \item One \item Two \sym{$\Rightarrow$} Three \stopitemize \startitemize \startitem One \stopitem \startitem Two \stopitem \startitem[sym=$\Rightarrow$] Three \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext How to achieve the result of #1 with the syntax in #2? Thanks and best wishes Thomas

[***SPAM***] Placement of a table's footnotes

Here is a minimal example of my attempt to get a footnot(s) just below a table. As it is the footnote is dislayed to the right of the table. Minimal example: %--------------------------- \starttext \midaligned { \startlocalfootnotes % [conversion=set fnsym] \setupnotation[footnote][rule=off] % change footnote symbols \starttable[|c|c|c|c|] \HL \VL col-1 \VL col-2 $\dagger$\footnote[myfootnote]{Re: X} \VL col-3 \VL col-4 \VL \MR \HL \stoptable % \placelocalfootnotes[here] \placelocalfootnotes[here] \stoplocalfootnotes \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=n,rule=on] % restore footnotes to global } \stoptext %----------------------------------

Placing figures with text wrap causes page break
by Philip 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

I've searched through the ContextGarden documentation and tried Googling this issue, but I must not be hitting the right keywords. Sorry if this has already been answered. When I place a figure with the following code, the document leaves two-thirds of the page before blank and puts the graphic on the following page. I have other figures in the document and this issue happens repeatedly throughout. Below is my abbreviated ConTeXt. I've tried adding \dontleavehmode like this, but it results in the graphic moving to the left and being overwritten by the text. \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\dontleavehmode\externalfigure [another_graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} I've also tried adding \dontleavehmode like this, but it has no effect: \dontleavehmode \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\externalfigure [graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} How can I get the "Some more text" to move up to fill the empty page? Thank you for any help you can provide! \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[ topspace=0.5in, backspace=1in, header=24pt, footer=36pt, height=middle, width=middle] \setupwhitespace[big] \setupalign [right, nothyphenated] \setupcaptions{style=\tfx\ss] \define\bold{\dontleavehmode\groupedcommand\bf\donothing} \starttext \title{title text} Some text here. \bold{subheader} \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\externalfigure [graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} More text \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\externalfigure [another_graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} Even more text \stoptext

[***SPAM***] Headers on Empty Page at End of Chapter
by Malte Stien 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Hello, When you setup your chapters such that a chapter always starts on a right page, you naturally get the occasional empty left page just before that. I have my headers setup like this \setupheadertexts[chapter][section] I get the chapter and section name of the previous section printed in the header of that empty page, but I want that page just empty. Is there a way? Regards, Malte. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

--purgebufffers option?
by Pablo Rodríguez 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Dear Hans, I compile ConTeXt documents with --purgeall, but if I save buffers into files and typeset those files or I typeset buffers directly, these files aren’t purged after successful compilation. Would it be possible to enable an option (such as --purgebuffers) that removes all buffer files generated by that compilation? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
