I am using the flowchart module to create various goodies. What I don't know how to do is regulate the size of the font for the text that goes inside the little boxes. Any suggestions? - John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf

I do not known any other way but put the size/style together with text:
\startFLOWcell \name{Obs} \location{1,1} \shape{action} \text{{\switchtobodyfont[16pt]\bf Text in cell}} \stopFLOWcell
If you want to be consistent over several cells, define a macro. vit

in m-chart you will find:
\setupFLOWcharts [\c!option=, \c!bodyfont=, \c!dot=, % private option \c!width=12\bodyfontsize, \c!height=7\bodyfontsize, \c!maxwidth=, \c!maxheight=, \c!offset=\v!standard, % == auto offset \c!dx=2\bodyfontsize, \c!dy=2\bodyfontsize, \c!nx=0, % 1, \c!ny=0, % 1, \c!x=1, \c!y=1, \c!autofocus=, \c!focus=, \c!background=, % \v!color, \c!backgroundcolor=\s!white, \c!rulethickness=\linewidth, \c!frame=\v!off, \c!framecolor=]

\definecolor [FLOWfocuscolor] [s=.2] \definecolor [FLOWlinecolor] [s=.5] \definecolor [FLOWframecolor] [s=.7] \definecolor [FLOWbackgroundcolor] [s=.9]
so guess ... what variable can be used to set the bodyfont

Revisiting this question after an absence I tried redefining various values from the above list within \setupFLOWcharts. None worked. No doubt there is a magic combination I missed. But more than one user has been perplexed by this.
You know I never did figure out the answer to this one. And factors such as \tfd were still too small. So I used the TeX primitive: \font\cx=bchr8r at 10pt external to any other macro and for each text string in the chart definition I used the \cx prefix. This was simple, controllable, and did not interact with anything else. And the font came out at the expected size.
A better (more Contextish) solution is still requested.

John, I guess you have
maxwidth=\textwidth
and your natural chart is wider then \textwidth, is't it? What happens if you put away maxwidth?

The immediate effect is that everything is bigger and the chart overflows both margins. The text is at normal size for this document. So the text problem was solved, but how to get the widgets and the spaces between them down to a reasonable size? After much experimentation I came up with this:
\setupFLOWcharts [ nx=6, ny=2, dx=\bodyfontsize, dy=\bodyfontsize, width=.15\hsize, height=.15\hsize, ] There is still some overflow into the margins and some of the text is too highly hyphenated. But at least I am on the right track.
When all this is over I may write my own version of the manual so I won't forget between uses :<)
Thanks much,
John Culleton
