A cases type environment using a right brace?
I'm trying to typeset a small column of numbers with a right brace on the right, and nothing on the left. (Sort of like the opposite to the right hand side of a cases environment). I've tried: \definemathmatrix[group][left={},right={\,\right\} }] \startgroup 10\NR 9\NR 8\NR \stopgroup But this just gives me errors: and the right brace in my group definition is just ignored. So, how can I get a brace which extends to the full height of the column? If I use \definemathmatrix[group][left={},right={\,\rbrace}] This just gives me a small brace, and doesn't extend it vertically. Thanks very much! -Alasdair -- Blog: http://amca01.wordpress.com Web: http://bit.ly/Alasdair Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alasdair.mcandrew

\definemathmatrix[group][left={},right={\,\right\} }]
\definemathmatrix[group][left={\left.}, right={\,\right\}}]
\startgroup 10\NR 9\NR 8\NR \stopgroup
\startgroup \NC 10 \NR \NC 9 \NR \NC 8 \NR \stopgroup Aditya
Thanks so much, Aditya- works perfectly!

May I chime in with a related question? Is there a dedicated ConTeXt way of having something similar in text mode? A column of content with a brace on its right (or left)? I have sometimes used something like this (which I think is from A Beginner's Book of TeX): \starttext \setbox1=\vbox{\hsize2cm Some \crlf vertical \crlf material } \setbox2=\vbox{\hbox{X}} \startformula \left.\vcenter{\box1}\right\}\vcenter{\box2} \stopformula \stoptext But I was wondering if there's a less hackish, more elegant way of doing this in ConTeXt. All best Thomas

Thank you Wolfgang, the metapost solution looks very good! I'll make this part of my cont-user.tex, I think... Best Thomas

Can we have this as part of the core and accessible using: leftframe=on|off|brace|bracket|parenthesis and similar options for topframe, bottomframe, and rightframe, or perhaps predefined metapost graphics for setting background={metapost:leftbrace,metapost:topbrace}, etc (similar to line shading macros.

MetaPost is the easier choice because we can add more styles to draw also fancy borders for tables etc. Wolfgang

In my viewer (okular), it also looks nicer. With the $\left\{ solution, one could see tiny gaps between the parts of the brace. I assume this wouldn't be visible when you print it out, but at large sizes in a presentation, this doesn't look very nice, whereas the metapost solution is perfect. Thomas

as a start: \useMPlibrary[fen] you can run meta-imp-fen.mkiv to see the examples.
