Buffered metapost function freezes random numbers
by DesdeChaves 27 May '16

27 May '16

For educational purposes I try to simulate a ammeter for reading practice. I would like create six or more ammeter with different readings, but i'm not able to do that because metapost create the same random number every time I call the buffer that defines my ammeter. How can I fix that? Thanks Jorge My code: \startbuffer[ammeter] \startMPcode r := 4cm; len := 10bp; min_thickness := 1.75bp; hour_thickness := 3bp; path cadran; cadran = fullcircle scaled (2r); numeric escala; escala := 0; for i = 50 upto 70: if i mod 5 = 0: j := i div 5; angl := 90-30j; freelabel("\tfb\bf" & decimal escala, (r+len)*dir angl, r*dir angl); draw ((r, 0) -- (r - len, 0)) rotated angl withpen pencircle scaled min_thickness; escala:= escala + 0.5; else: angl := 90 - 6i; draw ((r, 0) -- (r - .5len, 0)) rotated angl; fi endfor pickup pencircle scaled min_thickness; numeric minute; %randomseed := uniformdeviate infinity; minute:= 50 + uniformdeviate(20); pair A, B, C; A:=1.6r*right+.5r*up; C:=1.6r*right+.8r*up; B:=1.1r*left; drawarrow origin -- r*dir(90-minute*6) cutends (0, 1.5len); fill fullcircle scaled .75len; draw unitsquare xscaled 3.2r yscaled 1.5r shifted B; label("\tfb I (A)", 1.2r*up+1.6r*right) withcolor red; draw fullcircle scaled 2len shifted A; draw fullcircle scaled 2len shifted C; \stopMPcode \stopbuffer \startbuffer[programa] \placefigure[center,nonumber]{}{ \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[ammeter][type=buffer,width=8cm]}{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$\pm$\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} {\externalfigure[ammeter][type=buffer,width=8cm]}{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$\pm$\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} } \stopcombination \stopbuffer \starttext \dorecurse{3} {\getbuffer[programa]} \stoptext

Underbar offset
by Mojca Miklavec 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hi, I would like to add a continuous underbar under a paragraph or a title as in: \setupbar [color=red,offset=10pt] \starttext \underbar{Test this \high{\tfxx ®}} \stoptext ... but I'm confused about two aspects: - How can I prevent \high{} from shifting the underbar? - How can I add more offset? The color keyword works, but offset doesn't seem to have any effect even though it's listed in the reference. I was able to address the second problem (adding more offset) with something like \definebar[BarU][offset=-0.7] \startbar[BarU] ... \stopbar but I wasn't able to get rid of the shift (and the bar had a different thickness when a smaller font was used). I can find ugly workarounds with frames, but it would be ideal if I could get one of the underbar mechanisms to work "out-of-the-box". Thank you, Mojca

fontsize changes not understood
by Meer, Hans van der 25 May '16

25 May '16

Can someone explain to me the changes in fontsize in the following example? Enclosing the fontswitches in a group did not change the behaviour. \setupbodyfont[dejavu,12pt] \def\MarkMasterA{\inmargin[location=left]{\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[9pt]\red Master\egroup}} \def\MarkMasterB{\inmargin[location=left]{\bgroup\usebodyfont[9pt]\red Master\egroup}} \starttext \startsection[title=\MarkMasterA First title] \input hawking \MarkMasterA \input hawking \stopsection \startsection[title=\MarkMasterB First title] \input hawking \MarkMasterB \input hawking \blank contextversion=\contextversion \stopsection \stoptext In the first section the absolute value of 9 pt appears not to be honoured but it looks as if there is a reduction relative to the surrounding font. In the second section the size does not change and looks even bigger than the first one above. I am baffled and do not understand why not all fontsizes are the same absolute 9pt as requested?

smaller size for particular style
by Meer, Hans van der 22 May '16

22 May '16

As usual I do a setup for the font with for example: \setupbodyfont[cambria]. For most style variants this is fine, but for \tt I find the size too big. Thus I would like to keep the sizes as setup by the \setupbodyfont for everything except for \tt: there all variants (like \tt, \ttx, \ttxx) should have the size as if the bodyfont had been setup with \setupbodyfont[cambria,small]. How to effectuate this? Hans van der Meer

bug in \definefallbackfamily?
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 May '16

22 May '16

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] [preset=range:greek] \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \setupbodyfont [mainface, 100pt] \starttext χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά \stoptext >From what I read in i-context.pdf, "force=yes" is the default setting for \definefallbackfamily. I’m using latest beta from 2016.05.19 13:43 and this setting seems not to be working. Could anyone confirm that I have hit a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Support for Optional Content Groups
by Chris Chapman 22 May '16

22 May '16

I am new to ConTeXt (coming from LaTeX), and am really impressed. Great work! I am working on a document that has layers that I want to be screen-only, similar in approach to this: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/167846/implementing-full-page-screen… I am assuming that Optional Content Groups would be the best way to do this. How would I set something up like this in ConTeXt/LuaTeX? I know I could make a screen-only version and a print version of the output pdf, but I want to have my cake and eat it too ;) Thanks in advance, Chris Chapman

\page[header]
by Meer, Hans van der 22 May '16

22 May '16

According to the description of \page in the contextgarden: "header - set header off temporarily" But although this gives two pages numbered 1 and 2: \starttext \input knuth \page \input knuth \stoptext This one does not honour the new page but typesets everything on page 1: \starttext \input knuth \page[header] \input knuth \stoptext As that as intended?
