two issues with xtables
Dear list, I have the following table: \starttext \startalign[center] \startxtable[location=middle, frame=off, bottomframe=on, topframe=on, rulethickness=2em, %~ before={\startalign[center]}, after={\stopalign} ] \startxrow \startxcell test \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stopalign \stoptext Well, I thought location would center the table. Before and after (with \startalign) crash compilation. Aligning the whole table doesn’t seem to make any difference. Sorry, but how can I center the table and not its contents? The second issue is about rulethickness: would it be possible to specify different dimensions for each frame (top, bottom, left, right)? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I have the following table:
\starttext \startalign[center] \startxtable[location=middle, frame=off, bottomframe=on, topframe=on, rulethickness=2em, %~ before={\startalign[center]}, after={\stopalign} ] \startxrow \startxcell test \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stopalign \stoptext
Well, I thought location would center the table. Before and after (with \startalign) crash compilation. Aligning the whole table doesn’t seem to make any difference. Sorry, but how can I center the table and not its contents? Use
\startlinealignment[middle] \startxtable ... \stopxtable \stoplinealignment or \startplacetable[location={force,none}] \startxtable ... \stopxtable \stopplacetable
The second issue is about rulethickness: would it be possible to specify different dimensions for each frame (top, bottom, left, right)? Disable the normal frame and use a metapost background with different values for all borders.

Use
\startlinealignment[middle] or \startplacetable[location={force,none}]
Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. Only the second option works with the real table. The first one crashes compilation.

MetaPost is unknown to me. How would it be with this minimal sample? \starttext \startxtable[bottomframe=on, topframe=on, rulethickness=2em] \startxrow \startxcell test \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

MetaPost is unknown to me. How would it be with this minimal sample? There is a second method which let you create your own argument for the leftframe, rightframe etc. keys.
\installleftframerenderer {small}{\blackrule[height=\overlayheight,width=1\linewidth]} \installleftframerenderer{medium}{\blackrule[height=\overlayheight,width=2\linewidth]} \installleftframerenderer {big}{\blackrule[height=\overlayheight,width=3\linewidth]} \starttext \framed{Text} \framed[leftframe=small]{Text} \framed[leftframe=medium]{Text} \framed[leftframe=big]{Text} \stoptext Wolfgang

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. I’m afraid that only leftframe seems to work with latest beta: \installleftframerenderer{big}{\blackrule[height=\overlayheight, width=3\linewidth]} \starttext \framed{Text} \framed[leftframe=big]{Text} \framed[bottomframe=big]{Text} \framed[rightframe=big]{Text} \framed[topframe=big]{Text} \stoptext I have no idea about what I may be doing wrong.

You need to add \installrightframerenderer, \installtopframerenderer, and \installbottomframerenderer. Aditya

Many thanks for your help, Aditya. Of course, you’re right. I totally overlooked it. I misread \installframerenderer. I wonder whether a common \installframerenderer would make sense here. It would simplify code writing. Or at least I think it may be useful. Many thanks for your help (and sorry for still being asleep :-)), Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Excuse my nonsense. I have just realized that lines must be different for top/bottom and left/right. Sorry for the noise, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
