Works thanks. I had to install zint, but now I can generate them. (And I have to delve into the matter of-course.) One strange thing. Sometimes I get: dummy.texerror: No data received, no symbol generated The generated PDF looks okay to me and when I generate him again, I do not get the error and the generated PDF looks the same to me. -- Cecil Westerhof

\usemodule[zint]
Out of curiosity: how do I install zint?
That is depending on your operating system. I am using (openSUSE) Linux. I installed libzint2_4-2.4.0-1.2.i586.rpm and zint-2.4.0-1.2.i586.rpm with rpm -i. Different Linuxen can have different methods (for example Debian/Ubuntu uses apt-get) and for Windows I suppose you have to download an installer. -- Cecil Westerhof
Hello,
I tried to compile the example:
---- Zint.mkiv
\usemodule[zint]
----
with
----
context.exe Zint.mkiv --mode=demo
----
But it seem that something doesn't work correctly under Windows - see the result attached and the log.
Pictures to be involved to the document are not generated and (error) messages
"zint není názvem vnitřního ani vnějšího příkazu, spustitelného programu nebo dávkového souboru."
(which means "zint is not a name of an internal or an external command, an executable or a batch file.")
appear several times during the compilation.
And also, three temporary files of a mask "zint-*.tmp" stay in the directory after compilation (does the module delete them automatically?).
