colo-hex
by Peter Rolf 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi, there is a small bug in colo-hex, which leads to slightly wrong colors (at max. -0.390625%). In line 41 of both mark related files there is \newdimen\hexcolorfraction \hexcolorfraction=\dimexpr(1pt/256) . This should be 255 (#fractions) instead of 256 (#values); I made the same error a quite while ago. If I patch the files, I get the correct color in case of mark ii, but mark iv still gives the wrong one (remade the formats). Mh, strange. Here the output of my beloved 'tabbyCalc' (result of operation is always in next line, which is then used for next operation): 1/255 0,0039215686*255 0,999999993 1/256 0,00390625*255 0,99609375-1*100 -0,390625 I attached a small test file, which hopefully 'shows' (depends on your monitor) the difference. The border line goes from the lower left to the upper right corner; you have to look 'closely'. :D I case of pdftex you can also peek into the eps file to see the color values (before and after patching). No such help for mkiv. I have no clue why mkiv still gives the wrong color... Best wishes, Peter \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[hex] %% fraction= 1/255*65536= 257.004 %\newdimen\hexcolorfraction \hexcolorfraction=\dimexpr1pt/255\relax% = 257sp \definecolor[testcolor] [r=0.87843,g=0.87451,b=0.89020] % RGB(224,223,227)) \definecolor[testcolorHEX] [h=E0DFE3]% same as HEX (currently transformed to RGB(223,222,226) ) \definecolor[testcolor] [r=1,g=1,b=1] % RGB(224,223,227)) \definecolor[testcolorHEX] [h=FFFFFF]% same as HEX (currently transformed to RGB(223,222,226) ) \startMPpage path p; p:= unitsquare xyscaled(5cm,5cm); fill (point 0 of p -- point 1 of p -- point 2 of p --cycle) withcolor \MPcolor{testcolorHEX}; % bottom right part of the square fill (point 0 of p -- point 3 of p -- point 2 of p --cycle) withcolor \MPcolor{testcolor}; % top left part \stopMPpage

Font Path Problem.
by Stirling Westrup 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

I am running Debian amd64 (a mixed version system) and recently installed context. I am trying to get mkiv working, and so far it mostly is. The one problem I've run into is that I can't get it to recognize the extra truetype fonts I have in /usr/local/share/fonts. It only seems to see the ones that came with the installation. I've followed the various installation and setup documents as best I could but so far haven't had any luck. Here's a hopefully meaningful transcript below: $ env | grep -i "tex\|fontdir" TEXMFCACHE=/tmp TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts;/usr/local/share/fonts;/home/sti/.fonts $ ls

\setuppagenumbering[]
by Ciro Soto 10 Jul '09

Page numbering in roman style is not working for me. What could the problem be? I get the numbers in the footer, but it prints in Arabic numbers (1,2,3 ...). This is the command I use: \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] thank you Ciro -- Links of your interest: http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~cirosoto/ http://www.TheGuitarMakerExploration.com http://www.myspace.com/sotoaguirre

Duotones with spot colors
by Piotr Kopszak 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hello list, I am preparing for a next project which will be printed in two colours. Obviously, perfect opportunity to use duotones. However I got my duotone illustrations in CMYK tiffs with images in yellow and black channels. Obviously black could stay but I would like to convert the yellow channel to the spot colour I am going to use. Any ideas (without using Photoshop) ? Many thanks in advance Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Extra Whitespace in Footer.
by Stirling Westrup 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Thanks to the help I've been getting, I've almost got my layout working. The only remaining problem seems to be that the footer automatically inserts some whitespace above my framed text. The intent is for it to be flush to the top of the footer. What do I need to change? \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbackground[background=color, backgroundcolor=black] \setuppapersize[letter] \setuplayout [ location=doublesided, marking=on, topspace=1cm, % space at top of page bottomspace=1cm, % space at bottom of page backspace=2cm, % spine side of page cutspace=1cm, % outer side of page header=0cm, footer=2cm, bottom=2cm, margin=0cm, width=middle, height=middle, ] \newbox\FootBox \setbox\FootBox=\hbox { \framed [ align=right, frame=off, topframe=on, width=\textwidth, offset=none, framecolor=blue, ] {\bf \tfxx datasheet:} } \setuplayout[footer=\dimexpr\ht\FootBox+\dp\FootBox] \setupfootertexts[{\copy\FootBox}] \starttext \showframe[text] test \stoptext -- Stirling Westrup Programmer, Entrepreneur. https://www.linkedin.com/e/fpf/77228 http://www.linkedin.com/in/swestrup http://technaut.livejournal.com

Strange Behaviour in \framed

If I try out the following simple .tex script, I end up with a box that is framed everywhere but on the top: \starttext \newbox\FootBox \setbox\FootBox=\hbox { \framed [ align=right , topframe=on , width=\textwidth , offset=none% ] {\tfxx datasheet:} } \copy\FootBox \stoptext Also, I find that if I don't have the '%' after the word none, then it doesn't even compile. -- Stirling Westrup Programmer, Entrepreneur. https://www.linkedin.com/e/fpf/77228 http://www.linkedin.com/in/swestrup http://technaut.livejournal.com
