Multiple charts of different size
by Shivkumar Chandrasekaran 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

Hi, I am using \usemodule[chart] and following the manual mchart.pdf. But I cannot figure out how to get two charts, one of size [nx=4,ny=4] and one of size [nx=4,ny=1] in the same document, without the second one occupying the same physical space as the first one. It seems that I can have only one \setupFLOWcharts command in effect. Is there any way to get around this? Thanks, --shiv--

I am not sure what you mean by "the macro". Do you mean it like this? : \def\MyNoteList#1#2#3{\startWhatANote{#1}#2#1\quad#2\endgraf\stopWhatANote} Or should I add it to this - but I don't know how/where: > \long\def\MyNote#1% > {\ifhmode\unskip\fi > \doglobal\increment\MyNotes\relax > \high{\MyNotes}% > \expanded{\writetolist[MyNoteList]{\MyNotes}}{#1}} Thank you, Steffen

FLOWcharts connection bug
by Ramm, Henning 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Hello Hans and everyone! Every connection whose origin is the bottom of a cell and that goes somewhere upwards, draws first up into the cell. Connections from bottom to bottom cause always a metapost error. (ConTeXt 2004-01-13; TeXLive 7 on WinNT; pdfTeX 1.11a-2.1) Some nice-to-have features of FLOWchart connections would be: - crossing vertical lines should draw an bow at the crossing (configurable) - force a line to go via some point (cell coordinate) or several points instead shortest way - parallel lines should draw side by side Herzliche Grüße! ------------------- Henning Hraban Ramm

headertext + cap/uppercased problem
by Tobias Burnus 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Hello, (partially this is a resent.) I have a problem forcing captial letters for the header(texts). I tried (a) \kap in \setupheadertexts, but then \getmarking gets not expanded (I only get 'CHAPTER :' which looks rather strange) (b) Using \uppercased in \setupheadertext produces an error (c) Using \setupheader[style=kap] or style=\uppercased produces errors Tobias * * * I use \setupheadertexts [][{\it\getmarking[sectionnumber]~~~\getmarking[section]}] [{\it Chapter \getmarking[chapternumber]: \getmarking[chapter]}][] which works well. Adding \setupheader[style=cap] (or style=\uppercased) I get the following error. Any idea why? Tobias !

Re: [NTG-context] endnotes: ! Dimension too large. ?? (another problem)
by Steffen Wolfrum 15 Jan '04

Ah OK. But as far as I see the "command=" overwrites other possible settings like margin etc. Do I have to include these descriptions in \MyNoteList in a more TeX way? For example: How do I set the notes with size 10pt, interlinespace 11pt, a margin 2cm and after space \blank? Maybe you could give me an example for the code needed here?

irregular typesetting area
by Ole Schoening 14 Jan '04

14 Jan '04

Dear Contexers, I would like to repeat my question (see below) because I neither got an answer nor found a solution on my own. I believe that \defineoverlay cannot produce a solution for my problem because this command puts pictures in a different layer and so the main text is not affected (i.e. text is printed on top of underlying pictures). Are there any hints available? Ole I'm trying to produce an irregular (more than 4 corners) typesetting (main text) area of the following shape: ... (header) .... _____________________________________ ( logo / | ... text area ... | overlay background) | | ________________________| | | | ... ... | | | | | ________________________| | |(logo | | /overlay background) | ... text area ... | |___________________________________| The reason of this wish is not to overwrite the displayed logos or overlay pictures, which are used to form a common layout for a brochure. Btw., the orientation of the logos / pictures changes from even to odd pages. The measures of the logos / pictures prohibit a solution just by putting them in the header or footer. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance, Ole
