More on compiling --- texmstart

All, OK, it seems the times are passing me by. I am running Miktex 2.4. It comes with Context installed and there is a texexec.exe in /texmf/miktex/bin, which is on my path. C:\CONTEXT\PRACTICE>path PATH=C:\Perl\bin\;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WIND OWS\ System32\Wbem;c:\yandy\yandytex;c:\yandy\dviwind After enabling write18 and setting these in my cont-sys.tex, \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue \useMETAFUNformattrue I could not get Context to build Metapost graphics on the fly (at least in my test file). I have installed Ruby. After reading: http://www.contextgarden.net/Update_Hints I tried the following: texmfstart --make texexec.pl This built a texexec.bat, which I moved to /texmf/miktex/bin, where I also renamed texexec.exe to texexec.exe.bak. As a result, the file below compiled nicely and I had my graphic in the background. However, this killed Context running in Auctex and Emacs, which will no longer compile the file below. I get the error message in the attached log file. Any thoughts on how I can get going in Auctex again?

FunnyText

All, I've come across this in the Metafun manual: \setupframedtexts [FunnyText] [backgroundcolor=lightgray, framecolor=darkred, rulethickness=2pt, offset=\bodyfontsize, before={\blank[big,medium]}, after={\blank[big]}, width=\textwidth] But I am wondering how to use it to set up a big "Copyright" in the background?

Compiling questions

All, This test file: \starttext \setupcolors[state=start] \startMPpage colorcircle(10cm,red,green,blue) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext If I follow this procedure: f:/context/texutil --purgeall f:/context/texexec --pdf test Then I get a nice document when opened in Acrobat Reader. However, with the document below, this same procedure doesn't produce the "Concept" background. Indeed, I need to do this to get the "Concept" background: f:/context/texutil --purgeall f:/context/texexec --pdf junk2 f:/context/mpost mpgraph f:/context/texexec --pdf junk2 Then, I get a nice document with the "Concept" background. Suggestions? The file junk2.tex: \setupoutput[pdf] \setupwhitespace[medium] \startuniqueMPgraphic{concept} draw btex \bf CONCEPT etex rotated 60 withcolor .8white; currentpicture:=currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-0.5cm); \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[concept][\uniqueMPgraphic{concept}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=concept] \starttext Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

All, What commands do I use in Context to have my slide come up in Acrobat Reader's "Fit In Window?"

lrmoved
by David Arnold 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

All, In this definition from mp-tool, primarydef p lrmoved d = ((lrcorner p) shifted (+xpart paired(d),-ypart paired(d))) enddef ; I am not certain of its use. Does it adjust the corner of the path p, or does it return the corner of the path p, or what?

Patrick, Found it. Excellent source. I am working away at it as we speak.

Well, I don't own a Lamport, and probably not many ConTeXt users own one, so your description could be more verbose. Nevertheless you might want to have a look at http://levana.de/context/ there is somewhere a module that should do something like this. But there is still a bug in there when the margins are too small.

Override starttyping environment
by Arnold, David 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hans et al, I have in my preamble: \definetyping[matlab] \setuptyping[matlab] [before={\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth, background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.9]}, after={\stopframedtext}, color=darkred] Later in my document, I tried to center one of these environments: \startalignment[middle] \switchtobodyfont[big] \startmatlab y = x.^2 -2*x - 3 \stopmatlab \stopalignment But it comes out left justified, not centered. Any ideas how I can center one of these environments, one time only?

\setuplayout --- what do parameters mean?
by David Arnold 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

All, When I see something like this: \setuplayout [topspace=10pt, header=40pt, headerdistance=20pt, height=middle, footerdistance=20pt, footer=0pt, bottomdistance=10pt, bottom=20pt, bottomspace=40pt, backspace=30pt, width=middle] I have a hard time working out what it means. I know I can do \showframe, but that doesn't indicate everything I need to see. Does anyone have a macro that shows ALL of these parameters in a visual way, similar to that on page 182 of the Latex User Guide, 2nd ed., Lamport?

\typebuffer and tabs / specify code type
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hi all, I'm using \typebuffer to typeset some metapost code. How can I tell it to either ignore tabs or treat them like 1,2,3,... spaces, instead of printing ^^I? Another question: There has been a thread on telling \typebuffer what type of code on this list some time ago, without a final solution. Is there a switch to use metapost or whatever appropriate highlighting? Greetings, Eckhart
