require("module.so") on cygwin
by Peter Münster 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hello, How can I load a lua-lib in cygwin? Example: file test.tex: \startluacode package.cpath = "?.so" require("testmod") \stopluacode \starttext bla \stoptext file testmod.c: #include "lua.h" #include "lauxlib.h" static int l_test(lua_State *L) { int n = luaL_checknumber(L, 1) * 100; lua_pushnumber(L, n); return 1; } static const struct luaL_Reg mylib[] = {{"test100", l_test}, {NULL, NULL}}; int luaopen_testmod(lua_State *L) { luaL_register(L, "testmod", mylib); return 1; } file testmod.so generated under cygwin with: gcc -shared -o testmod.so testmod.c /usr/lib/liblua.dll.a The problem: "context test" hanges after "language en is active". TIA for any help! Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

This gives me upright Greek, but I was expecting italic: \setupbodyfont[xits] \starttext $\mathit{ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ}$ $\mathbi{ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ}$ \stoptext -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

Custom metaobj object in context
by Stefan Müller 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hi, I just tried to build my own object in metaobj but for some reason I cannot figure out it does not work. I tried the example from the metaobj manual in a tex document (it works in a metapost file): \startuseMPgraphic{objecttest} vardef newSegment@#= assignObj(@#,"Segment"); ObjPoint a,b; ObjCode "@#b-@#a=(1cm,2cm)"; enddef; \stopuseMPgraphic When processing this with context (MkIV) I get ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \@MPG@objecttest. <to be read again> = <argument> vardef newSegment@##= assignObj(@##,"Segment"); ObjPoint a,b; Ob... \dostartuseMPgraphic ...leuseMPgraphic {#1}{#2}{#3 }} l.7 \stopuseMPgraphic My first wild guess is that it has something to do with the "evil" @-symbol. But even if this is the case I don't know what to do to fix this. Any help appreciated and thank you very much in advance. Stefan.

Return value of context call
by Marco 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hi, when there's a mistake in the context code then the context call returns »1«. When there's a mistake in the metapost code then the context call returns »0«. This is annoying for me, since I use the return value as indicator for my pdf reader to refresh. This seems like a bug to me. Is there a workaround? Best regards Marco

change numeral to string in Metafun
by dalyoung 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Dear all, I'd like to draw boxes with a label in a certain rule. I define drawbox macro for it. It receives 3 numbers, (the height of box, x position, y position). I'd like to label the height of the box in the middle of the box. I tired label( h ,(3s*u+u, t*u + h*u/2)); %h is a received numeral. But it is not working. If I change h to "letter" in label command, it is working. So, I'd like to know how to put received numeral(the height of the box) as a label. Or, how to change the value of a variable to a string. Here is a working sample code. \startuseMPgraphic{sample} numeric u; u := 0.5cm; def drawbox (expr h, s, t) = %numeric h,s,t; draw unitsquare xyscaled (1cm, h*u) shifted (3*s*u, t*u); label("1",(3s*u+u, t*u + h*u/2)); enddef; drawbox (3, 0, 0); drawbox (6, 0, 3); drawbox (2, 1, 0); drawbox (1, 1, 2); drawbox (3, 2, 0) drawbox (4, 2, 3) \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \placefigure[here][]{sample} {\useMPgraphic{sample}} \stoptext Thank you.
