exported figures from DIA to Metapost including in document
by Jan-Erik Hägglöf 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hi All! I'm in beginning to write a thesis in physics(undergraduate level) and one of many things I wanna do is, cause I create much illustrations in DIA http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/ and the program can export to figure.mp, to include these in my document. I've read the instructions on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mpgraphic I do not get this working. How is the best way to accomplish this? The reason is why I want to do in this way is to input tex code in the figure (especially math and symbol definitions) and optionally place them in specific places inside the figure. By this method I can even do better illustrations, hopefully. My workflow has been like this: 1. Create the desired figure in DIA and choose the export option. TeX metapost *.mp(see attached file ). 2. Tryed to do inclusion in a TeX-document like this \startstaticMPfigure{magflux} the code in the attached file \stopstaticMPfigure \starttext Here is my figure \usestaticMPfigure[magflux][width=0.8\textwidth] \stoptext But it fails with errormessage: !Paragraph ended before \startstaticMPfigure was complete ..... Should I place part of the code in some definitions? 3. To input textlabels in mathnotation optionally anywhere I want inside the figure. And also do something like \placefigure[][fig:metapostfigure]{Here is the figure I made in DIA converted to metapost}{\usestaticMPfigure[magflux][width=0.8\textwidth]} so it also can be referred to in the text. All best and thanks in advance! Janneman -- TeX Engine : LuaTeX current version: 2008.10.23 17:32 OS : Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

Has anybody else on the list done this? If not, maybe the mkii implementation has never worked for that purpose... it's possible, since urls are breaking after hyphens when lang-url.mkii says to break before hyphens. If this is the case (\sethyphenatedbefore/after in mkii is broken), then rather than awaiting a fix for the soon-obsolete mkii implementation, maybe I can do a workaround. I need help with the tex details though, please, as I am still very much a tex newbie... We are generating our tex document, so verbosity is not a problem, but irregularity would be. Rather than inserting \break in various places manually, which would have to be redone often, I could automatically insert \discretionary or \allowbreak before/after the appropriate characters in the tex document. Would that work? How would I suppress hyphenation at other points -- \dontleavehmode or something like that? Thanks again, Lars

Minimals, Linux & OSFONTDIR
by Bart C. Wise 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

I have more that two path for my fonts: - /usr/local/share/fonts -/usr/share/fonts When I do one path, it works fine; however, if I put two paths as follows: export OSFONTDIR=/usr/local/share/fonts:/usr/share/fonts it does not pick up the fonts in both directories. Admitedly, this is my fault, but could someone help out? Thanks, Bart

Dear Yue, Thank you for the reply. > > > why not process the base file figure each time before process each > figure. > Yes, That is what I did. I am curious if there is a way of shorten the length of code which is less important. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Minimals & \placefootnotes
by Bart C. Wise 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

I have loaded the minimals packaging on my system. In running through some code I'm finding that \placefootnotes does not appear to be working (or at least it's different than MkII. With the minimals, the footnotes always appear at the bottom of the page, not where the \placefootnotes command is placed. Is this a bug, or do I need to make some changes? \setupfootnotes[location=text] \starttext Here is a footnote.\footnote{Here's the first footnote} And yet, another. \footnote{The second.} \placefootnotes Here is some more text, with another footnote.\footnote{The third footnote.} \placefootnotes \stoptext Thanks, Bart

patterns for German in mkiv

Hi all, something fishy is going on with hyphenation patterns for German in mkiv. Here's a minimal test file: \starttext {\de \hyphenatedword{sich}} \stoptext please compile with mkii and mkiv and see the difference. The word should of course not be hyphenated. All best Thomas
