draft stamp
by Idris Samawi Hamid 21 May '04

21 May '04

Dear gang, What is the simplest way to add a grey watermark to a draft document that says "DRAFT" on each and every page. I will be using eomega so I will have etex but not pdftex (in case that makes a difference. The <DRAFT> should be enlarged (bigger than \tfd perhaps) and run diagonal across the textblock (say, lower left to upper right corner). (There is actually an example of this in the LaTeX Graphics Companion using some dvips trick but I'd rather not go that route...) More funky: Maybe we can have a series of \tfd <Draft>'s across and down the textblock, say, 3 x 6 matrix. I've been away 4 a long time, finally getting back into circulation. I'm sure I have a lot of catching up 2 do... Best greetings 2 all Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

pdf 1.5 pb
by olivier Turlier 20 May '04

20 May '04

Hi Contexers, I've used Acrobat 6 to import and create .pdfs for inclusion as images, not thinking about compatibility mode (set by default on acrobat 6 I suppose). When I try to texexec a .tex doc with such pdf inclusions, i get this output : Error: pdfetex (file ./pieces-graphiques-l.pdf): pdf inclusion: found pdf version <1.5>, but at most version <1.4> allowed ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished! My actual system (tetex+last context beta --thanks to Patrick Gundlach for his installcontext.sh script): pdfetex --version pdfeTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 texexec --version TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 texutil --version TeXUtil 8.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 Thanks for your answer -- Olivier TURLIER F&M-CRP La Rouguière 101 Bd des libérateurs 13367 MARSEILLE cedex11 0(33)04 91 18 56 00 +0(33)04 91 45 14 48 crp.tbeb(a)wanadoo.fr

18 May '04

Hi Hans et al! As I changed some older charts today and installed the latest beta I recognized that an old bug isn't fixed yet: Any \connection[bb]{something} leads to an error. Could you please look into it? Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

Re: [NTG-context] LaTeX linespacing
by glhoffman＠cox.net 16 May '04

I don't speak Dutch, so I am partly guessing at what you are asking for. Look at the LaTeX package "setspace," which may be found at ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/setspace. The package is described at pages 106-08 of The LaTeX Companion (2nd ed. 2004). The package adjusts interline spacing either globally with a spacing command in the preamble (e.g., \usepackage{setspace} \doublespacing) or locally using a spacing environment (e.g., with the command \usepackage{setspace} in the preamble, \begin{spacing}{2.0}text\end{spacing}). Hope this is helpful. Gary Hoffman > > From: "J Bos" <jj_bos(a)hotmail.com> > Date: 2004/05/12 Wed AM 05:05:49 EDT > To: ntg-context(a)ntg.nl > Subject: [NTG-context] LaTeX linespacing > >

Another Metafun issue
by SebastianSturm＠t-online.de 16 May '04

16 May '04

Hi, when trying to set fractions or non-square roots in Metapost figures using the Metafun macro textext (textext("\frac{a}{b}") or textext("\root a \of b")), I get the error message !Undefined control sequence $\setbox \rootbox \hbox {$\mathsurround \z @ \scriptscriptstyle {a }$}\m... in case of the root and !Missing $ inserted. <inserted text> $ <to be read again> \mathchoice l.11 $\relax ${{\mathchoice {\displaystyle a}{\textstyle a}{\scriptstyle a}{... in case of the fraction. I probably made some stupid error, but I can't seem to find it. Best regards, Sebastian

Hi, is it possible to change the font size of TeX labels in Metapost figures (using the textext command) to be the same as the bodyfont size in the surrounding document? Best regards, Sebastian Sturm

bug in alignbox
by Vit Zyka 15 May '04

15 May '04

Hallo Hans, I have played with positioning text in layers. I noticed that parameter "location=t" \setlayer[MyLayer][...,location=t,...]{...} behaves the same way as "location=c". It seems to me it is the bug in optimized definition of \alignedbox. If I use commented version of \alignedbox from source file core-box.tex it is OK. Can you look at it, please? Test file: ------------------------------------------------------------------ \definelayer[PositionText][position=no,corner=buttom,height=\textheight,option=test] \def\PosText(#1,#2)[#3]#4{% \setlayer[PositionText][x=#1,y=#2,location=#3]{#4}% \ignorespaces} \setupbackgrounds[text][background={PositionText}] \switchtobodyfont[20pt] \starttext \PosText(.3\textwidth,.3\textheight)[c]{Center} \PosText(.3\textwidth,.3\textheight)[t]{Top} \PosText(.3\textwidth,.3\textheight)[b]{Bottom} \PosText(.3\textwidth,.5\textheight)[l]{Left} \PosText(.3\textwidth,.5\textheight)[r]{Right} \PosText(.7\textwidth,.5\textheight)[tl]{TopLeft} \PosText(.7\textwidth,.5\textheight)[tr]{TopRight} \PosText(.7\textwidth,.5\textheight)[bl]{BottomLeft} \PosText(.7\textwidth,.5\textheight)[br]{BottomRight} Ap\hskip1.5em \alignedbox[b]\hbox{ApB}\hskip1.5em \alignedbox[c]\hbox{ApC}\hskip1.5em \alignedbox[t]\hbox{ApT} \stoptext
