MPinclusions, MPextensions, MPinitializations and MPinstances
by Marco Patzer 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Hi, I know that MPinclusions are included only once and MPinitializations are included once for each graphic. But how do MPextensions fit in? How can I define variables or definitions that are local to a particular MP instance? Marco

buffer identity?
by Meer, H. van der 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

When one has \startbuffer … \stopbuffer or \startbuffer[abc] … \stopbuffer Is it possible to find in a redefined \stopbuffer the identity of the buffer in question? For example to do \def\stopbuffer{\doif{BUFFERIDENTITY}{abc} …} Hans van der Meer

code after \stopbuffer
by H. van der Meer 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Is it possible to have a command automatically executed each time \stopbuffer has been read? Preferably coupled to a specific named \startbuffer[this_one], iff possible at all of course. Thus: \startbuffer[this_one] ..contents.. \stopbuffer % in execution followed by \command Hans van der Meer

Failing MPruns

Hi, The following used to work: \startMPrun{foo} beginfig(1); fill fullcircle scaled 1cm; endfig; \stopMPrun \starttext \externalfigure [mprun:foo.1] [width=4cm] \stoptext now I get: ! LuaTeX error ...ext-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/grph-inc.lua:690: bad argument #1 to 'isfile' (string expected, got nil) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'isfile' ...ext-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/grph-inc.lua:690: in function 'locate' ...ext-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/grph-inc.lua:922: in function 'identifier' ...ext-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/grph-inc.lua:940: in function 'identify' [string "\directlua "]:1: in main chunk.

Alignment problem with labels and textext
by Lutz Haseloff 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Hi Hans, hi all, with the most recent ConTeXt (This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-2013021110 (rev 4576) ConTeXt ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV fmt: 2013.2.11 int: english/english) there is an alignment problem with labels using textext. Labels without textext work ok. Small example showing the problem: --------------------------------- \starttext \startMPpage pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ; draw p withcolor .625yellow ; label.rt (textext("right") , point 0 of p) ; label.top (textext("top") , point 2 of p) ; label.lft (textext("left") , point 4 of p) ; label.bot (textext("bottom") , point 6 of p) ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ; draw p withcolor .625yellow ; label.rt ("right" , point 0 of p) ; label.top ("top" , point 2 of p) ; label.lft ("left" , point 4 of p) ; label.bot ("bottom" , point 6 of p) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext --------------------------------- Greetings Lutz

Logical Page Numbers (PDF Bookmarks)
by Troy Henderson 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

I know how to make the page numbers in the frontmatter to use Roman numerals, say, and in the bodymatter use Arabic numerals. I also know how to reset the page counter so that the numbering "starts over" after the frontmatter. However, I would like to have the page numbers appear in the PDF bookmarks appear as i, ii, iii, ... , 1, 2, 3, ... If there are 5 pages in the frontmatter, then all of my page numbers are off by 5 in the PDF bookmarks. How can this be fixed? Troy Henderson

using different xml-tree's?
by H. van der Meer 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

I would like to process my <dvd> nodes in more than one way but I am stuck with the implementation. The trees could start in a different setup: \startxmlsetups xml:dvdfirst:dvd .. \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:dvdfirst:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument} {error|setup|dvd .. and \startxmlsetups xml:dvdsecond:dvd .. \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:dvdsecond:setups .. I thought I could call the variants (data collected in a buffer) with: \xmlprocessbuffer{dvd}{data.xml}{xml:dvdfirst:dvd} en \xmlprocessbuffer{dvd}{data.xml}{xml:dvdsecond:dvd} But this does not work. Neither for example ..{xml:dvdfirst} Guess I am mistreating the 3rd parameter of \xmlprocessbuffer{}{}{initial-xml-setup}. The manual says "process the tree starting with initial-xml-setup. What am I doing wrong? Hans van der Meer

\copypages and page numbers
by Troy Henderson 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

I have a scanned (raster) PDF that I am inserting into my document via \copypages. However, the document's page number is not showing on top of this raster PDF page (presumably because \copypages places the page on top of everything else). How can I ensure that the page number is on top of raster page instead of behind? Troy Henderson
