Thanks for asking. The problem is so simple from PowerPoint view. I want to place a logo of my academic institution on the front page, above the slide title. I can guess its x,y coordinates, but cannot understand how to place it there. I know something about overlays, but it seems that they can add an image to a text already placed somewhere. I have no text, I just want to place an image at arbitrary location at one page. >> > Hello, >> > >> > Can I arrange*multiple* images per a page in specified positions (x,y) using >> > simpleslides module? >> > > Can you elaborate?

Re: [NTG-context] label, caption and eps in figures?

Hello, thanks for the hint. The legend worked very well. Nevertheless, I still have not understood what the equivalent in ConTeXt of LaTeX \ref{} <---> \label{} is --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{equation} 1 + 1 = 2 \label{eq.1} \end{equation} In Eq. \ref{eq.1}, we show that one plus one equals two ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- How would you write that in ConTeXt? And for a figure? thanks for your patience, Pau >>> "Fig. 1" on it) and with the label. \ref{fig.mylabel} is not >>> recognised (see below). >> > > \setuplabeltext[en][figure=Fig. ] > >> \starttext >> >> \placefigure > [fig.MyCaption] >> {My Caption} >> {\externalfigure[MyFigure.eps][factor=broad]} >> >> \stoptext > -- Let there be peace on earth.

should \getmarking[title] work?
by Michael Green 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

I expected \getmarking[title] to give me the contents of \title. It used to work (as of late spring). Perhaps something has changed.

How to "unfill" a picture?
by Zhichu Chen 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hi, I got a problem in metapost. If I want to draw a ring, and use the code: fill fullcircle scaled 2cm ; unfill fullcircle scaled 1cm ; The inner part is not transparent, it has the color of "background" variable which is "white" by default. This case is a minimal example, I actually wanna draw something more complex, like the glyph "Q" and I know the inner path and outer path. How can I fill the ring without jeopardizing the area inside the inner path? -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

should footnote columns work?
by Michael Green 24 Jun '09

Footnotes are not put into columns in the test file below. In longer files, the line separating footnotes from the text overlaps the last line or two of the text.

get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hello, Another urgent problem: how to get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions altogether? When I use the following, I get too much wasted space after the illustration. \placefigure [fit] {none} {\startcombination[4*1] {\externalfigure[serg1][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg2][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg3][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg4][width=4cm]} {} \stopcombination} Best, Vyatcheslav

Hi Hans, when will you provide propor keys to execute commands/settings at the begin and end of a section, I want to use them in a document to prevent extra markup but the only way to do this at the moment is with the two tokens registers \everybeforestructurehead and \everyafterstructurehead.
