simpleslides ubuntu jaunty (9.04)
by Amaël Broustet 08 May '09

08 May '09

Dear list members, I'm a new user of conTeXt and was interested in the simpleslides module. It looks great and partially works but most graphical stuffs don't work : I've only the text using Mark IV, and get some of the graphical effects with Mark II (but not all) (I've attached pdf output and logs). I use a freshly installed ubuntu 9.04 I've installed the module (in my ~/texmf). I've added in /etc/environment the variable TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c in order for luatools and MarkIV to work. cf http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation#Postscript:_Mark_IV (the exemple file works) versions : $ texexec --lua -v TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD $ luatools -v LuaTools | version 1.2.0 - 2006+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT $ luatex -v This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.28.0-2009041620 I hope that you have some hints on what I might have wrong, In mark IV, it looks like I have a version problem for metafun, but I'm not sure and don't now how to get the version number. Best regards Amaël Broustet

gVim complier plugin question
by Michael Bynum 07 May '09

07 May '09

I was trying to get the context compiler plugin for gvim working, but I think I may be misunderstanding something about the instructions. I keep getting a "compiler not found" error when I try to set the compiler so I must have done something wrong. I downloaded the texexec.vim plugin from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1925 and copied it to /usr/share/vim/vim70/compiler/texexec.vim I then opened a context file with gvim and typed ":compiler=texexec" and I get "E666: compiler not supported: =texexec" It seems like it must be a small mistake, but I'm at a loss to figure out what it is. Does anyone know what I did wrong? Thanks, Mike

How can I compare picture variables in metapost?
by Zhichu Chen 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi all, I want to draw some paths that won't intersect with each other in metapost. Those paths are generated "randomly," e.g., draw 100 circles without any intersections. I use a very stupid way like: ============================================= % randomseed:= day + time*epsilon ; save minL ; numeric minL ; minL = infinity ; z[0] = origin; for i=1 upto 99 : z[i] = (uniformdeviate 1 , uniformdeviate 1 ) ; for j=0 upto i-1 : if abs(z[i]-z[j])<minL : minL := abs(z[i]-z[j]) ; fi endfor endfor for i=0 upto 99 : draw fullcircle scaled 2cm shifted (z[i] scaled (2cm/minL)) withcolor (i/100, (100-i)/100, abs(50-i)/100); endfor ============================================= The randomseed made me crazy, for one time it compiles fine and sometimes it just flows out which I think may due to the size of the picture becomes big enough. I think a better way could be like this: pick a random point, fill it with color, pick another point and use "clip currentpicture to somepath" and determine whether it is blank or not. But "if currentpicture=nullpicture" won't work, so I'm stunned. Thank you for your time. -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

LuaTeX and xpdf
by Lutz Haseloff 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi LuaTeX developers, LuaTeX after (including) Id: luatex.web 2366 2009-05-03 08:06:14 has a problem with pdf inclusion. I get an error: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.0-2009050518 (Web2C 7.5.7) \write18 enabled. ... mplib : loading 'metafun.mp' from 'C:/contextminimal/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/28feea729d47a604679d2be4cb698c93/formats/cont-en-metafun.mem' !LuaTeX error: xpdf: reading PDF image failed ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! After switching back to LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.0-2009042920 (Web2C 7.5.7) (btw with very nice format generating on the fly!!!) all works as expected. Greetings Lutz
