Hi, I have a few questions regarding flow charts. 1) Setting “offset=none” yields to “Missing number, treated as zero.” 2) “option=test” should display a grid according to the manual, but it doesn't. It only displays the anchors. 3) What does the maxwidth option do? 4) What are the options “x” and “y” for? I'd like to set the width of the cells so that they fit within the text width. Here is my attempt, but there are several issues. \usemodule [chart] \setupFLOWcharts [width=37mm, dx=1cm, offset=-1cm] \showframe \starttext \startFLOWchart [foo] \dorecurse{3}{ \startFLOWcell \location {\recurselevel,1} \expanded{\text {Foo \recurselevel}} \stopFLOWcell} \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart [foo] \stoptext The width is set manually to 37mm, which is ugly and not exact. To get rid of the inter cell space I used a negative offset, which clips the cell frame. How do I 5) set the width of the entire chart to \textwidth, 6) get rid of the left and right cell distance without clipping the frame? Using a table it's simple to set up BTW: \showframe \starttext \bTABLE [width=broad, distance=2cm, align=middle, rulethickness=2pt] \bTR \bTD Foo 1\eTD \bTD Foo 2\eTD \bTD Foo 3\eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Marco

One more issue:
0) \setupFLOWcharts [bodyfont=\bfx] does not work.
because \bfx is not a bodyfont but a style switch ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

You're right. I confused bodyfont with style, it works as expected. But this makes me wonder why bodyfont is used instead of style?
I guess it has to do with the default values of the width and height for the cells which are set in multiples of the bodyfont size. When you now have a big chart you can decrease the font size and a bigger chart fits on the same space because each cell is now smaller. Wolfgang

indeed, there are a few mechanisms where an overall-sizing makes sense, tables are another one ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, \starthanging\stophanging is a very appreciated feature. However, hanging text wrapped around a figure fails if a new paragraph intervenes. Minimal example: \starttext \starthanging [location=right] {\externalfigure [cow] [width=.3\textwidth]} This is a first paragraph. \input tufte \stophanging \stoptext Alan

currently somewhat limited as it's not like the regular place left figure macro using the otr .. so the hang is forgotten after a par which means that you need to use \break or \crlf or something nor \par: \starttext \starthanging [location=right] {\externalfigure [cow] [width=.3\textwidth]} This is a first paragraph.\crlf \input tufte \stophanging \stoptext (some day i'll make a nice one) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

(some day i'll make a nice one)
Of course, I can use \crlf or \break. By the way, I have encountered situations where the regular place figure macro misbehaves as well. Mimimal example: \starttext \startplacefigure [location=right,number=no] \externalfigure [cow] [width=.3\textwidth] \stopplacefigure This is a first paragraph. \startquotation \input tufte \stopquotation \stoptext Alan
