RE: [NTG-context] PDF bounding box problem?

Hi all, I have problem with paragraph background in columnset environment: \definetextbackground [TXBG] [frame=no,offset=0.25em,location=paragraph] \definecolumnset[main][n=2] \startcolumnset[main] ... \starttextbackground[TXBG] \typebuffer[BUFFER] \stoptextbackground ... \stopcolumnset Using the background in left column (as the text flows) causes shifting whole column down }(including both text and properly placed background). Sorry, I have no minimal example now, as the source is XML. But the mapping macros lead into the code described above. Are there some problems with backs in columnsets?

To my untutored eye it looks like the MediaBox is being used - at least, the graphic takes up an area about Letter size. Is there some setting I’ve missed that lets me get the bounds of the graphics rather than the file?

\externalfigure[whatever.pdf][width=10cm,size=artbox]

Great! I didn’t spot the artbox option...

it's a rather new option, because pdftex only supports it in later versions Hans ps. be aware of the fact that sometimes those boxes are wrong; has to do with illustrator defaults and such (there is a technote on that on our site) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
