Combinations
by Pepe Barbe 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hello everyone, I have 14 graphs that I want to arrange in a single page. I've found the best wat to do that is with a 3 by 5 combination. Yet, it would look better if I had a 3 by 4 combination and a 2 by 1 centered underneath the preveious. Is there some simple way to do that? Also, a while ago I asked about the font size of the captions in the combinations, which wasn't being respected in Math mode. I've tried in the latest beta and the problem persists. Any ideas? Example: \setupcaptions[ headstyle=\ss\bf,style=\tfx ] \setupcombinations[ style=\tfx\em ] \starttext \placefigure [center] {Combination Caption} \startcombination [2*1] {\framed[height=.45\textwidth,width=.45\textwidth]{My Graphic 1}}{Text: Test. Math: $Test$} {\framed[height=.45\textwidth,width=.45\textwidth]{My Graphic 2}}{Text: Test. Math: $Test$} \stopcombination \stoptext Thanks, Pepe

new (working) LilyPond module
by Henning Hraban Ramm 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hi ho! I just uploaded a new version of the LilyPond module into the garden: http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-lilypond Docs: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond It should work with GNU LilyPond from version 2.8 (tested with latest 2.9) and got some new features: - change the fonts (e.g. for lyrics and chords) - switch clef and bar numbers on/off - use LilyPond settings with boolean values (##t, ##f) A very big THANK YOU to Christopher Creutzig who not only wrote the old edition, but also wrote all the new TeX code that I don't understand ;-) (Christopher, the uploaded version has less bugs than the one I sent to you earlier - forgot to test the settings...) BEWARE! LilyPond typesetting works only with the old Perl texexec; texmfstart texexec fails in 3 points: - the LilyPond snippet (buffer) counter stays at 1 - texexec doesn't reckognize that it should do another TeX run to place the "pictures" - the module documentation lacks the title page I guess this is a bug or two... Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net http://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

external table alignment
by Idris Samawi Hamid 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Dear consortium, I need to get the argument of \start-stoptable aligned flush left. Even with \setuptables[split=yes,align=left] (a la \setupframed) there is still a small offset of the leftmost column. Please advise =========================== \starttext Some text \starttable[|l|l|] \NC 2001 \NC Fall \NC\SR \stoptable Some text \stoptext =========================== Thank you Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Re: [NTG-context] inhibition of new page after a header

Default settings of headers inhibit a break immediately afterwards but it is very easy to stop this working by either changing the set-up of the header, or putting something immediately after it which overrides the \nobreak. Can you post an example? Duncan

bug?: interaction between columns and background
by Mojca Miklavec 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

Hello, When I place a graphic in the bacground and switch columns on, the background gets shifted for some reason. I hope that the problem will be evident from this example (since it behaves in a pretty random way - sometimes it's OK and sometimes it's pretty much shifted to the left). (Using ConTeXt version 2006.08.30 9:28) \startuseMPgraphic{TitleGraphic} draw unitsquare xyscaled (\overlaywidth-5mm,\overlayheight-5mm); \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [TitleGraphic] [\useMPgraphic{TitleGraphic}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background={TitleGraphic,page}] \starttext \startcolumns[n=3] \dorecurse{3}{\input tufte $$a^2+b^2=c^2$$} \stopcolumns \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

inhibition of new page after a header
by Gerhard Kugler 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

Hello, I'm new in the listserve and in applying Context. In the past I used LateX, but not for ambitious projects. Now I'm translating a book. My first question: How can it be that context sets a new page immediately after a (subsubsection-)header? Is it necessary to inhibit it after every header explicitely?

\showlayout doesn't (2006.10.04 beta)
by Sanjoy Mahajan 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

This test file doesn't produce the frames around the margins (2006.10.04 beta): \starttext \showlayout \input tufte \stoptext I can't test it on the live context (the missing cont-new.mkii) to make sure it's not something silly on my part. But I reverted to the 2006.09.28 beta and it had the same problem, then to the 2006.08.08 release, which was fine. -Sanjoy `A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.' -- Bertrand de Jouvenal

font switches, tables, and grouping
by Idris Samawi Hamid 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Dear consortium, font switches do not obey grouping when \start-stoptable is invoked: =============================== Some text \start\it \starttable[|l|l|] \NC 2001 \NC Fall \NC\SR \stoptable \stop Some text =============================== The second `Some text' comes out italicized. What is happening here and how do I fix it? Also, how do I control the blank space between \stoptable and the beginning of the next par?

\sometxt bodyfontsize in staticMPfigure (2006.09.27 beta)
by Sanjoy Mahajan 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

[I'm testing the 2006.09.27 beta on Linux] Thanks for the new \sometxt in staticMPfigures. I'm just testing its operation, and find that the text is not set in the document's bodyfont size. For example, \setupbodyfont[20pt] \starttext \startstaticMPfigure{fig} label(\sometxt{in sometxt},origin); \stopstaticMPfigure outside sometxt \usestaticMPfigure[fig] \stoptext produces a small "in sometxt" and a large "outside sometxt". With this file both are large, as I expected \sometxt to work: \setupbodyfont[20pt] \starttext \startreusableMPgraphic{fig} label(\sometxt{in sometxt},origin); \stopreusableMPgraphic{ outside sometxt \reuseMPgraphic{fig} \stoptext I haven't figured out the full story. But in the intermediate .mp files generated by texexec, the staticMPfigure case has "BodyFontSize:=12.0pt;" whereas in the reusableMPgraphic case, the file has "BodyFontSize:=20.0pt;". -Sanjoy `A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.' -- Bertrand de Jouvenal

\sometxt in staticMPfigure
by Sanjoy Mahajan 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Another small metafun test file. It displays no text in the middle of the ellipse. Using \textext instead of \sometxt works. \starttext \startstaticMPfigure{fig} draw \sometxt{hello}; draw fullcircle scaled 1cm xscaled 2; \stopstaticMPfigure \usestaticMPfigure[fig] xyz \stoptext
