Problem with log coordinates in metafun graph module
by Jean-Philippe Rey 10 Dec '21

10 Dec '21

Dear list, Log coordinates seem to be broken in the last version of ConTeXt/metafun/graph. Here is my failing example =================================== \usemodule[graph] \starttext \startMPcode{graph} draw begingraph(100mm, 100mm); setcoords(log, linear); % works fine with setcoords(linear, linear); gdraw (1e-3, 10) -- (10, 30); endgraph; \stopMPcode \stoptext =================================== which produces nothing but works with ConTeXt ver: 2021.01.05 10:45 LMTX. You will find attached the log file which contains metafun > log > error: A primary expression can't begin with ',' Thank you for your help. -- Jean-Philippe Rey jean-philippe.rey(a)centralesupelec.fr 91192 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex - France Empreinte PGP : 807A 5B2C 69E4 D4B5 783A 428A 1B5E E83E 261B BF51

Dear Hans, Bruce Horrocks, I test the file using MacVim and confirm that it works fine. Thus, something happened in my system or environment of vscode. I may reinstall vscode. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Dear Bruce Horrocks, Thank you for your test. I have moved the file to the local and run it. But the result is same. However, since your try worked well, the problem is mine not LMTX. I am using the editor “vscode”, and there may be something changed in my system recently. I’ll try using other editors. Thank you.

Dear Hans, >> Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/texMain/ColumnsetTest.tex''" terminated >> with exit code: 1.* > no clue ... does lmtx also fail? is it an apple binary issue? I am running LMTX now. It opens and closes "*-newcolumnsets.mkiv” files(we can find the lines in the log file). I also tested the files which had no problem a month ago, but got the same error message now. I reinstalled context and test it. But the result is same. I am going to test it more. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

This is not working %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \underbar{asdf} \underdot{asdf} \underbar{\underdot{asdf}} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Best, Denis

using the newcolumnsets module
by Jeong Dal 09 Dec '21

Dear all, I made an exam form by the help of the experts in this list. However, it was not working after recent update. Here is a code which I made for the test. If I use “\startcolumns \stopcolumns”, then it has no problem. But using “\startcolumnset[exam] … \stopcolumnset” produces error message “return code 11”. It loads “m-newcolumnset.tex” without problem. What is the cause of this error? Thank you for reading.

Hello, In the deprecated document about "Correspondence" dated 2010, the chapter on résumés describes a ConTeXt reimplementation of the moderncv package. Is this still usable, and if so, where can I get the relevant files ? Thanks in advance Laurent Steffan

upload
by Hans Hagen 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hi, a new upload - some keywords renamed in the engine and therefore more split between mkiv and lmtx (hopefully i included all files) .. if something doesn't work any more it might be because i missed a rename. - i finally decied that it does make sense to have native loops at the primitive level (after all, metapost as macro language also has them) and although much is possible in macros it doesn't mean we have to do it the (often ugly and showing-off-by-abusing-side-effects way). We have just a constructor: \unexpandedloop 1 100 1 {.} and a fully expandable one for e.g. use in \edef: \expandedloop 1 100 1 {.} plus an also fully expandable one for anywhere but with potential side effects (out of order local loops): \localcontrolledloop 1 100 1 {.} complemented by a few status primitives (integers, use \the or \number to serialize them): \currentloopiterator \currentloopnesting and a quitter that aborts at the next iteration: \quitloop as usual it's experimental for a while. Among the rationales are 'less tracing clutter', 'performance' and 'more natural primitive tex coding' (but that one is personal).
