Changing the formatting of Natural Tables
Hello, I am using natural tables to make tables in my document. Can someone please tell me how I can prevent context from applying features I choose for an earlier table to a table that appears later in the document. Following is an example of two tables. Even though I choose \setupTABLE[frame=off] for the second table, there is a frame created based on what I define for an earlier table. I am using MKII (since I want to use Tikz). I would really appreciate any help. Example: \setuplayout[letter,height= 9in,width=5.5in,topspace=1in,header=1cm,backspace=1.5in] % Changing the location of the page numbers so that they appear in the footer. \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \starttext %%%%%% First Table %%%%%% \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[column][3,4,5][align={middle,lohi},width=0.6in] \setupTABLE[column][2][align=lohi] \setupTABLE[row][3][align={lohi,middle}] \setupTABLE[3,4,5][3,4,5][background=color,backgroundcolor=ivory,framecolor=midnightblue,frame=on] % Using color names from xwi colorscheme \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD[nc=3] {\bf Player 2} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD $ L $ \eTD \bTD $ M $ \eTD \bTD $ R $ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=3,width=1in] {\bf Player 1} \eTD \bTD $ U $ \eTD \bTD (8,8) \eTD \bTD (0,9) \eTD \bTD (0,0) \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $ C $ \eTD \bTD (9,0) \eTD \bTD (0,0) \eTD \bTD (3,1) \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $ D $ \eTD \bTD (0,0) \eTD \bTD (1,3) \eTD \bTD (3,3) \eTD \eTR \eTABLE %%%%%% Second Table %%%%%% Even though I repeat {\tt \\setupTABLE[frame=off]} command the table has frame. \setupTABLE[frame=off] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD[nc=2] Player 2 \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD C \eTD \bTD D \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2] Player 1 \eTD \bTD C \eTD \bTD (2,2) \eTD \bTD (0,4) \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD D \eTD \bTD (4,0) \eTD \bTD (1,1) \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext
Hi, If you place the setups outside the bTABLE - eTABLE then the setup is global. You can put the setups after the bTABLE and then they are local to the table. Willi On Nov 12, 2009, at 10:21 PM, Curiouslearn wrote:

Be careful with this because a few setup can't be done after \bTABLE like - option=stretch - header=repeat - split=yes|repeat|auto Wolfgang

\start \setupTABLE[..,..=..,..] \bTABLE ... \eTABLE \stop
Example:
\setuplayout[letter,height=9in,width=5.5in,topspace=1in,header=1cm,backspace=1.5in]
^^^^^^^ you *can't* use keywords and assignments in the same setup, it's not part of context’s syntax Wolfgang
Thanks to both Willi and Wolfgang. I quickly tried Wolfgang's method and it worked great. Willi, even if, as you said, the setting is global when placed before \bTABLE. When I repeat the command \setupTABLE[frame=off] again before table 2, should that not be the new global setup and apply to things following it? Thanks again.
