\fillinrules with backgroundcolor
by Berend de Boer 29 Jan '04

29 Jan '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All, Does anyone know if it is possible to have fillinrules with a background color? It would be even better if I didn't have the rule, just a gray background for example. This is the effect I like to see: Name: [ ] Address: [ ] [ ] Where [...] is a colored back ground. Example: \starttext \fillinrules[n=1,width=broad]{Name} \fillinrules[n=2,width=broad]{Address} \stoptext - -- Live long and prosper, Berend de Boer (PGP public key: http://www.pobox.com/~berend/berend-public-key.txt) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFAFMwlIyuuaiRyjTYRAnH0AJ4uBjSCK9V49sTzleVICgfKsvhqzACfQBj4 WDqfzuSOEpgi7R9f8wS2bJI= =NMfg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

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

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: ! Missing `,' has been inserted. <to be read again> : gluedraw->...me_stripe(height,width,linewidth,\@@: linecolor,angle,\@@:gap,sh... l.248 gluedraw(sq) ; I use currently: ConTeXt ver: 2003.12.18 fmt: 2004.1.13 Could some metafun-literate try the code in both versions and see what happens?
