Re: [NTG-context] gnuplot in ConTeXt
Hi,
The ConTeXt term is now in development.
You have at least two or three alternatives (with one prefered
but in dev):
- use postscript term and include the resulting graphics with
externalfigure
- use mp term and process the MP buffer with metafun
- last but not least, use directly the context terminal...
For this one, you have to:
- compile and install gnuplot from source by adding context.trm in
gnuplot/term/ and adding context.trm to term.h (if you are on linux,
else on windows you can use the wiki's patched binary gnuplot
http://pub.mojca.org/gnuplot/bin/)
- get mp-gnuplot.mp and t-gnuplot.tex and copy these two files into
your current document directory
- use \usemodule[t-gnuplot] to bypass the gnuplot module distributed
with the ConTeXt release
Then, you can try:
\usemodule[t-gnuplot]
\starttext
\startGNUPLOTscript{abc}
plot sin(x)
\stopGNUPLOTscript
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[abc]
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[abc][width=\textwidth]
\stoptext
If you have any questions...
Cheers,
Renaud
Dalyoung Jeong a crit:
Dear all,
I have installed gnuplot and others(aqua term, x11).
I tested the minimal sample file in ConTeXt Wiki.
In the wiki page, there is a command like
\startGNUPLOTgraphics{sin}
plot sin(x)
\stopGNUPLOTgraphics
but there is an error message like
l.6 \startGNUPLOTgraphics
{sin}
? x
If I changed \startGNUPLOTgraphics{sin} to \startGNUPLOTgraphic{sin},
then the error is disappeared but the output showed only texts but
not graph. Only a grey box is appeared.
Would you please show me an example in detail?
Thank you for reading.

Re: [NTG-context] updating context on Ubuntu 6.06
It was hard to find a machine not running bash, a measure of the
success of free software. But I eventually found a nearby Solaris
more a measure of the lack of diversity ... imagine everyone living a
house of the same design, driving the same car, etc etc
Or instead walking, cycling, or taking public transit...but I dream.
can you try: ...
I ran this ruby script (on Linux):
def locatedlocaltree
tree = `kpsewhich --expand-path $TEXMFLOCAL`.chomp rescue nil
unless tree FileTest.directory?(tree) then
tree = `kpsewhich --expand-path $TEXMF`.chomp rescue nil
end
return tree
end
print locatedlocaltree+\n
and got the error due to lack of quotes around $TEXMF{,LOCAL}:
kpsewhich: option `--expand-path' requires an argument
kpsewhich: option `--expand-path' requires an argument
Unix definitely needs those quotes to protect the variables in the
backquoted command from the shell.
Also the 'rescue nil' doesn't seem to have any effect. Probably
similar to system(), the `cmd` construct doesn't raise an exception if
the command fails or even isn't found. Instead you get tree equal to
the empty string, since `` captures (the empty) stdout.
Is path expansion (instead of variable expansion) a risky change? It
might make tree a colon-separated list. That will cause trouble for
the directory test in the 'unless' clause, and also break later uses
of the returned value of locatedlocaltree that assume it is one path
element.

Frankly, I don't know where this is documented.

Re: [NTG-context] setuphead
Steffen Wolfrum wrote: Hi, I was sure it should be quite standard, but I couldn't figure our how to set a heading like this: Chapter label/number (centered,small,italic) (linebreak) Chapter titel (centered,bigger,bold) Is there a command=... to be written, or could it be achieved by combining the various options that setuphead has predefined? I guess you need numbercommand,inbetween and textcommand. Not a definitive answer, but I am positive that will work.

[NTG-context] section versus subject
Hi,
maybe another quite ... basic question:
What's wrong about \subject?
I assumed that the only difference between \section and \subject is
numbering or not.
But why does \subject not appear in the TOC (see below)?
\starttext
\definecombinedlist[content]
[section,subject]
\completecontent
\page
\section{section}
\subject{subject}
\stoptext
Thanks,
Steffen

Re: [NTG-context] Charts, Graphs, Tufte, and ConTeXt
Nicolas Grilly skreiv: Karl Ove Hufthammer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes! R (especially using the new grid and lattice framework) produces excellent charts and graphs, with very sensible default options (much of it based on Cleveland's research). What is Cleveland's research? Can you provide references on the web? Cleveland has done much research on graphical perception and the visual decoding of information from data displays. He was one of the first to do actual scientific study on this. Earlier, many people had opinions on various common graphs (e.g., ‘pie charts are bad – I don’t like them’). Cleveland came along and did actual scientific *experiments* to show why some type of graphs were worse than others for presenting data (e.g., ‘humans are very bad at judging angles and very good at judging position along a common scale; that’s why pie charts are terrible and dot plots good at presenting (the same) data’), and he proposed new graphical display *based* on this research. See for example this very interesting and easy to read article: Title: Graphical Perception: Theory, Experimentation, and Application to the Development of Graphical Methods Author(s): William S. Cleveland; Robert McGill Source: Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 79, No. 387. (Sep., 1984), pp. 531-554. Stable URL: http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0162-1459%28198409%2979%3A387%3C531%3AGPTEAA%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Y Some of Cleveland’s research resulted in novel graphical displays, such as trellis displays, coplots and dot plots, and much of it resulted in improvements to common displays. Unfortunately, many of these smaller improvements and very minor but important details seems to be unknown to people who design graphing software. Let me mention a few (not too exciting) examples: Circles should be used instead of rectangles as plotting symbols, especially with data overlap, because overlapping rectangles still look like rectangles, while overlapping circles look nothing like circles. Cleveland actually recommended a list of plotting symbols (for plotting several groups in one plot) for use in scatterplots; see: Title: A Model for Studying Display Methods of Statistical Graphics Author(s): William S. Cleveland Source: Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, Vol. 2, No. 4. (Dec., 1993), pp. 323-343. Stable URL: http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=1061-8600%28199312%292%3A4%3C323%3AAMFSDM%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Y Tick marks should point outwards, not inwards (so they don’t camouflage data). The data rectangle should always be slightly smaller than the scale-line rectangle (the box around the data), again to avoid camouflaging the data. These are just a few (perhaps less interesting) features of graph design that R does correctly, but many other programs (e.g., gnuplot, at least for tick marks and data rectangles) don’t (by default). Much of Cleveland’s research has been summarised in his excellent book W.S. Cleveland. Elements of Graphing Data. Revised edition. 1994. See also his other book W.S. Cleveland. Visualizing data. 1993. Other articles of his that may be of interest: Title: Graphical Perception and Graphical Methods for Analyzing Scientific Data Author(s): William S.

Recent investigations have uncovered basic principles of human graphical perception that have important implications for the display of data. The computer graphics revolution has stimulated the invention of many graphical methods for analyzing and presenting scientific data, such as box plots, two-tiered error bars, scatterplot smoothing, dot charts, and graphing on a log base 2 scale.
