I have leaved through the ConTeXt and MetaFun manuals on the search for examples of graphics resembling the attached file which I created in TikZ.
I was wanting to switch to something more native to ConTeXt, but haven't quite found a way of realising it in ConTeXt or MetaFun.
Maybe someone would be so kind as to point me to the right section in the manual.
All I want is to define text boxes (of a fixed size) to fill them with a background colour and (centred, typeset) text. Do I need MetaFun for that, or should some table/framed text environment in ConTeXt be able to do that?
You can use a table as seen in the example below but when you have many graphics in this form I would use layers and write a few commands to fill all fields with the information. \startsetups kanji \setupTABLE [frame=off] \setupTABLE[1][1][background=color,backgroundcolor=red,width=4cm,align={middle,lohi}] \setupTABLE[2][1][background=color,backgroundcolor=orange,width=6cm] \setupTABLE[1][2][background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] \stopsetups \starttext \bTABLE[setups=kanji] \bTR \bTD A \eTD \bTD line 1\\ line 2\\ line 3 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nx=2] line 1\\ line 2\\ line 3 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Wolfgang
