shading with stitching functions
by Mojca Miklavec 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hello, I'm still trying to get shading in MetaPost as the one in the attached eps file, but I don't manage to decipher the way how other shandings are done. There's a .tex file attached with a failed (hardcoded) example tries ... but I don't know where to explore further. I would appreciate any hints, Mojca

' undefined inside \startformula .. \stopformula
by Sanjoy Mahajan 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

I just noticed this test file failing: \starttext $f'(x)$ \startformula f^\prime(x)\quad f'(x) \stopformula \stoptext It gives: ! Undefined control sequence. l.4 f^\prime(x)\quad f' (x) As you can see from lack of complaint about $f'(x)$, the ' still works in inline math mode. So somehow the ' active charcode setting didn't make it into display-math mode? I couldn't get any tests to produce a PDF file on the live context, so I didn't test it there. But I'm using: ConTeXt ver: 2006.12.20 23:52 MK II fmt: 2006.12.25 -Sanjoy `A nation of slaves is always prepared to applaud the clemency of their master who, in the abuse of absolute power, does not proceed to the last extremes of injustice and oppression.'

spurious space in figurebase graphics
by Peter Rolf 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi all, even with the today's version I get a spurious space in front of every figurebase graphic. Can someone please confirm this. I have made a small test file (7zip,38k), but it's still too big for the list. So if you are interested, please mail me off list and I send you the file. Or you can change the attached tex code from the example, so that it fits your figurebase. Thanks in advance. BTW: Is there a way to upload some file to ConTeXt Live, so that things like this can be tested on 'neutral ground'? Greetings, Peter \usemodule[fig-base] \usefigurebase[windows-xp-icons] \setupexternalfigures[directory=..] \starttext \ss Graphics from a figure database have some spurious space. \blank[big] from a database: \framed[offset=overlay]{\externalfigure[computer][width=10mm,height=10mm]} \framed[offset=overlay]{\externalfigure[computer]} from a single picture file: \framed[offset=overlay]{\externalfigure[computer_24bpp-48x48.png][width=10mm,height=10mm]} \framed[offset=overlay]{\externalfigure[computer_24bpp-48x48.png]} \stoptext

Hello, is there any command to test for write18/shell escape available in ConTeXt? In one of the LaTeX packages I saw: \newif\ifShellEscape ... \ifShellEscape \def\tmpfile{/tmp/w18-test-\the\year\the\month\the\day\the\time} \ifmiktex \immediate\write18{rem >"\tmpfile"} \else \immediate\write18{touch \tmpfile} \fi \ifmiktex \IfFileExists{\tmpfile.}{\ShellEscapetrue}{\ShellEscapefalse} \else \IfFileExists{\tmpfile}{\ShellEscapetrue}{\ShellEscapefalse} \fi \fi Thanks a lot, Mojca

pb inserting multipage documents
by olivier Turlier 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi everybody, I'm experiencing pb with the latest stable version : insertion of multipage external document leads to the rendering of only the first page, with this command : \getfiguredimensions[doc-guidecstb-sol-tecnic-rt2000-gobck.pdf] \dorecurse{\noffigurepages}{\externalfigure[doc-guidecstb-sol-tecnic-rt2000-gobck.pdf] [width=\textwidth,height=\textheight][page=\recurselevel]} If you are interested, you can test source and see differences at this url : http://tebcado.free.fr/context-quest/01/ TIA for the answers. -- olivier Turlier

The problems is that you didn't specify the proper encoding of your font, so TeX doesn't know that your font is cyrillic. \font\myfirstfont=t2a-n021003l \myfirstfont is a plain TeX command, you have to use a ConTeXt command for that. This is a way to go then: \starttypescript [map] [timescyr] [t2a] \loadmapfile [\typescriptthree-urw-timescyr.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [timescyr] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [...] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [timescyr] [t2a] \definefontsynonym [...] [\typescriptthree-progbot] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [t2a] \definetypeface [...] [rm] [serif] [timescyr] [default] [encoding=\typescripttwo] \stoptypescript That's only a rought sketch. If you don't get any further using the existing documentation and wiki, and if nobody else is willing to help, I can try to complete the definitions if you ask again, but someone is willing to do that instead ... I won't object. (Although I suspect that there is a shorter way to tell to TeX which encoding is being used for a specific font.) Mojca

When I put \enableregime[cp1251] (I use that very encoding) at the top of my script, the output represents transliterated text (all Cyrillic glyphs are replaced with corresponding Latin letters).

Hi Vyatcheslav, (I intercepted your message because it was a bit too big for the list) From Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky <yatskovsky(a)gmail.com>: > > This is the INF file for my Times-Roman: > > FontName (Times-Roman) > FullName (Times Roman) > AppleName (Times) > AppleFONDID 20 > FamilyName (Times) > version (001.007) > isFixedPitch false > CharacterSet (isoadobe) > Encoding (StandardEncoding) > ItalicAngle 0 > CapHeight 662 > UnderlinePosition -100 > UnderlineThickness 50 > StemWidth 84 > Serif true > Pi false > SuperiorBaseline 270 > MSMenuName (Times) > VPMenuName (Times Roman) > WORDMenuName (Times) > VPTypefaceID 14 > VPStyle (N) > PCFileNamePrefix (TIR__) > PCLTypefaceID 20485 > PCLStrokeWeight 0 > PCLStyle 0 I am sorry to say that this really looks like the INF of the standard Times-Roman font that does not have cyrillic glyphs (and the same was true of your log file). Can you explain to the people on the list how you could successfully use cyrillic, what operating system you are using, and in which previewer exactly? I myself am lost as to what is going wrong exactly, but I find it hard to believe that the previewer is using tir_____.pfb, from the information you have provided so far. Best, Taco
