Pstricks and Asymptote
by curiouslearn 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

I apologize if this has been asked before, but would appreciate if anyone could answer this again. (a) Is there an easy way to incorporate asymptote code in a Context document, like there exists in Latex. In latex you can include it between \begin{asy} \end{asy} (b) Is there an easy way to incorporate pstricks code in a Context document. If there is, does that way work both with MKII and MKIV or only with one of them. The reason I am asking is that eventually all the new Context features will be in MKIV. I want to know what graphics packages I can use with it other than Metapost. Thanks.

Metapost Code works with MKII not with MKIV
by Curiouslearn 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi, I am back to trying Metapost. I spent sometime yesterday and today learning about clipping, buildcycles etc. to fill areas with patterns. I think I will try to write a simple tutorial with it. Meanwhile, I just updated my installation of Context minimals. The following simple Metapost code does not compile with MKIV, but compiles okay with MKII. \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{Filling} u := 1cm; w:= 2pt; %Axes path xaxis; path yaxis; xaxis := (0,0)--(12,0) scaled u; yaxis := (0,0)--(0,12) scaled u; path demand; path AC; demand := function (1,"x","10-x",0,10,1) scaled u; AC := function(1,"x","2+8/x",1,10,0.1) scaled u; drawarrow xaxis withpen pencircle scaled w; drawarrow yaxis withpen pencircle scaled w; draw demand withpen pencircle scaled w withcolor 0.5red; draw AC withpen pencircle scaled w withcolor 0.5green; fill fullcircle scaled u shifted (4*u,5*u) withcolor 0.1[white,blue] ; label(btex \tfb S1 etex,(4,5)*u); \stopuseMPgraphic \midaligned{\useMPgraphic{Filling}} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The LOG file is: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.44.0-2009103007 \write18 enabled.

local footnote (Tables) problem
by Bowen Alan C. 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Wolfgang— I adapted the file that you sent me so that the table extends beyond one page. But, as you will see, the table still prints on just one page. Moreover, if I set split=repeat, the header prints twice (?) more. Alan \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par} \start \setuptables [bodyfont=9pt, width=\textwidth, rulethickness=0.03em, distance=big, split=yes] \placetable [top,nonumber] [tab:Table03] {Table 3} {\startlocalfootnotes[conversion=character,bodyfont=9pt] \placelegend {\startframedtext[frame=off,offset=none,width=fit] \starttablehead \HL[3] \NC \REF[c]{Column A} \NC \REF[c]{Column B} \NC\SR \HL \stoptablehead \starttable[|p(11.5pc)|p(11.5pc)|] \NC \REF[c]{1[4].341||345 [= F21.82||86]} \NC\REF[c]{6.29.3||4} \NC\SR \NC Text A\note[a] \NC Text B\note[b] \NC\SR \NC \input knuth \NC \NC\AR \NC \NC \input knuth \NC\AR \NC \input knuth \NC \NC\AR \stoptable \stopframedtext} {\footnotetext[a]{A local footnote.} \footnotetext[b]{Another local footnote.} \hskip2pc\mbox{\placelocalfootnotes}} \stoplocalfootnotes} \stop \stoptext

Remove bold face
by anuar lezama 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hello Everybody, My problem is the following: I'm creating chapter's titles with a mix of styles. For example. \chapter{ something {\bolditalic another thing}} This give me the result that I expect with my titles, but when I use this title's string to create a header, part of the header appears with the bold italic style on it and I would like to remove it. So far I have tried to define my header's style as normal but the bolditalic style keeps appearing on the "another thing" part. Is there a way to remove this bold style? Thank you in advance for the help -- Kind Regards Anuar

framed items
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hi all, maybe there is already code for that, but I haven't found it: is it possible to have itemgroups where every single item is within a frame (this is something that may be interesting for presentations)? Just to give you an idea of what I want to achieve, here's a short example: \setuplayout[width=10cm] \starttext \setupframed[offset=2mm, corner=round, background=color, backgroundcolor=blue, foregroundcolor=white, frame=off, strut=no, align=normal, width=\textwidth] \startitemize[n] \item \framed{The text of this item is made very long because it is intended to show the effect of what happens when an item extends to more than just one line.} \item \framed{This item is relatively short, but also fills more than one line.} \stopitemize \stoptext The problem is the vertical alignment of the item number, which should be at the top of the frame. Is this possible? All best Thomas

Re: [NTG-context] the meaning of cutspace
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 18 Nov '09

Hello, > Don't use both backspace and cutspace at the same time. From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout: backspace \backspace <javascript:show_command('backspace')> from left rim of paper to left rim of main text area cutspace \cutspace <javascript:show_command('cutspace')> from right rim of paper to right rim of main text area Either the description is wrong, or... the thoughts stop here :)) Regards, Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] spacing between floating figure caption and surrounding text
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 17 Nov '09

Hello Hans, > > sidespacebefore > sidespaceafter Yes, I played with them, but did not understand their logic. Is 'high' equals to sidespacebefore=0 'low' -- to sidespaceafter=0? In other words, how to duplicate the effect of 'low' using sidespace options? Vyatcheslav
