chart bug
by Shivkumar Chandrasekaran 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hi, I have noticed that if I use \comment command in my chart and there are two of them with two \setupFLOWcharts command then the \comment command does not produce text. I know the code is bug free because deleting one of the charts (including \setupFLOWcharts) makes the \comment text re-appear. Any help in working around this bug will be appreciated. A small example is at the bottom. I believe I have the latest downloads from Gierben Wierda's distribution for Mac OS X. Thanks, --shiv-- \starttext %----start cutting to remove bug---------- \setupFLOWcharts [nx=2, ny=1, dx=3\bodyfontsize, dy=3\bodyfontsize, width=6\bodyfontsize, height=3\bodyfontsize, maxwidth=\textwidth, maxheight=\textheight] \startFLOWchart [network] \startFLOWcell \name {N1} \location {1,1} \shape {10} \text {input \\ output} \connect [prpl] {N2} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {N2} \location {2,1} \shape {5} \text {$N_1$} \connect [nlnr] {N1} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \placefigure [][] {Where are the comments.} {\FLOWchart[network]} %-----stop cutting to remove bug------------- \setupFLOWcharts [nx=2, ny=1, dx=3\bodyfontsize, dy=3\bodyfontsize, width=6\bodyfontsize, height=3\bodyfontsize, maxwidth=\textwidth, maxheight=\textheight] \startFLOWchart [network2] \startFLOWcell \name {N1} \location {1,1} \shape {10} \text {input \\ output} \connect [prpl] {N2} \comment [t] {Hello} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {N2} \location {2,1} \shape {5} \text {$N_1$} \connect [nlnr] {N1} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \placefigure [][] {Where are the comments.} {\FLOWchart[network2]} \stoptext

basic formatting in ConTeXt
by Alan C.Bowen 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

I am new to ConTeXt and have what are doubtless some very basic questions. I have checked the manuals and the archives of this list and of the TeX on Mac OS X list the, but have not found what I am looking for yet. What I need is (a) to set up the footers and headers in a book so that there is only a footer on the first page and only a header on subsequent pages, (b) to define the first page number (c) to set the color of a page in its entirety. Any pointers to documents, solutions, or worked examples in ConTeXt will be very much appreciated. I have some idea of how to do these things in Plain TeX, but should really like to migrate to ConTeXt. Alan

Hello,everybody, I have a problem while using context to create some flowcharts. The beginning of my tex source file looks like: \setupoutput[pdftex] \usemodule[chart] Naturally I got a flowchart in pdf version. But a pdf version flowchart is not suitable for inserting into a paper or a report. Then I try to use software to convert it from pdf format into some other imgage formats. But none of them was satisfied. I wonder how can I direct get a flowchart in some imgage formats (e.g. in png, jpg format) from the source tex file. Are there some tricks in the settings of the tex source file? Thanks in advance! Best regards @@@@@@@@wei jm @@@@@@@@wei@uni-duisburg.de @@@@@@@@2004-01-20

textbar
by Thomas A.Schmitz 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Hi all, I was under the (mistaken?) impression that "textbar" (for "|") was predefined somewhere in the distribution, but couldn't find anyhting. So I defined it myself in the preamble of my document: \define\textbar{\getglyph{Roman}{\char124}} and it seems to be working. Is this the proper way to do this? Best Thomas

Hyphenation of URLs with and without interaction
by Tobias Burnus 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Hello, If you run the test case below, once with and once without \statupinteraction[state=start], you realize that this influences the hyphenation. Using interaction, the URL is only hyphenated at '/', '.' etc. Using no interaction, also the words are hyphenated. How can I get also hyphenated words with interaction enabled? ----------------------------------------------------------- \showframe \setupinteraction[state=start] \def\gotoURL#1{\useURL[foo][#1]\goto{\url[foo]}[url(foo)]} \starttext \hskip5cm\gotoURL{http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/SomeVeryVeryVeryLongDirectory/And/AQuiteLongFileName.html} \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Tobias

Just a note about the text of Czech version of Universal Declaration of Human Rights. (page 124 of the document special-s.pdf) there are some typos/misspellings most notably in the first word of the title. (first word is wrong) <wrong>Šeobecná deklarace lidských práv</wrong> <correct>Všeobecná deklarace lidských práv</correct> (in Czech language is "t<quotesingle/>" written as one letter "ť") <wrong>at<quotesingle/> jde</wrong> <correct>ať jde</correct> (wrong spelling) <wrong>príjímat</wrong> <correct>přijímat</correct> (it's one word) <wrong>myš lenky</wrong> <correct>myšlenky</correct> Peter

Strange behaviour? Metapost om connection with MPpage
by Willi Egger 25 Jan '04

Hi all, Currently I am preparing a series of figures. I use the approach given in Metafun: \startuseMPgraphic{test} ... code ... \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \startMPpage \includeMPgraphic{test} \stopMPpage % \useMPgraphic \stoptext The appended code does compile if the MPpage lines are commented. and useMPgraphic is uncommented. Otherwise the following error is given: !

Hi, At the location mentioned below you will find a font special. Before we send the files to the printing house (next week) we want to make sure that the for us not so familiar languages are code / entered / typeset correct. It's a booklet at cdrom jewel case format so that it can sit next to the tex (live) collection. http://www.pragma-pod.com/downloads/special/special-c.pdf http://www.pragma-pod.com/downloads/special/special-p.pdf http://www.pragma-pod.com/downloads/special/special-s.pdf Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma(a)wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
