Re: [NTG-context] \sometxt bodyfontsize in staticMPfigure (2006.09.27 beta)
Sanjoy Mahajan wrote:
[I'm testing the 2006.09.27 beta on Linux]
Thanks for the new \sometxt in staticMPfigures. I'm just testing its
operation, and find that the text is not set in the document's bodyfont
size. For example,
\setupbodyfont[20pt]
\starttext
\startstaticMPfigure{fig}
label(\sometxt{in sometxt},origin);
\stopstaticMPfigure
outside sometxt
\usestaticMPfigure[fig]
\stoptext
produces a small in sometxt and a large outside sometxt.
With this file both are large, as I expected \sometxt to work:
\setupbodyfont[20pt]
\starttext
\startreusableMPgraphic{fig}
label(\sometxt{in sometxt},origin);
\stopreusableMPgraphic{
outside sometxt
\reuseMPgraphic{fig}
\stoptext
I haven't figured out the full story. But in the intermediate .mp files
generated by texexec, the staticMPfigure case has
BodyFontSize:=12.0pt; whereas in the reusableMPgraphic case, the file
has BodyFontSize:=20.0pt;.
this is runtime tex into passed to the graphic ... imagine that we flush
this to the mp file ... it can contain info that is not known in that
session (like overlay info) which willbreak the mp run
the issue here is that a static graphic is processed in another,
independent run, that's the whole idea behind static graphics (quick
hack for independent graphics)
we can spend a lot of time to make it more advanced but within a year
from now we will have mp as a library in tex which willreduce runtime to
nearly zero (at least that 's what experiments show) so
what we can do is pass info from the mpenvironment
\startMPenvironment[global]
\setupbodyfont[20pt]
\stopMPenvironment
\starttext
\long\def\startstaticMPgraphic#1#2\stopstaticMPgraphic
{\blabelgroup
\def\MPgraphicfile{#1}% no \jobname here
\let\MPwrite\MPstaticwrite
\immediate\openout\MPwrite=\MPgraphicfile.mp
\setMPrandomseedfalse
\enableincludeMPgraphics
\def\sometxt##1{\string\sometxt{##1}}%
\the\everyMPgraphic
\presetMPdefinitions
\theMPinclusions % brrr
\writeMPgraphic{\letterpercent mpenvironment: \the\everyMPTEXgraphic}%
\writeMPgraphic{beginfig(1);}%
\writeMPgraphic{#2}%
\writeMPgraphic{endfig; end.}%
\immediate\closeout\MPwrite
\immediate\closeout\MPwrite
\runMPgraphicstrue
\executeMPgraphicfile
\elabelgroup}
\startstaticMPfigure{fig}
label(\sometxt{in sometxt},origin);
\stopstaticMPfigure
outside sometxt
\usestaticMPfigure[fig]
\stoptext
for this we need to patch tex.rb:
def processmpstatic
if filename = getvariable('filename') then
filename += .mp unless filename =~ /\..+?$/
if FileTest.file?(filename) then
begin
data = IO.read(filename)
File.open(texexec.tex,'w') do |f|
f \\setupoutput[pdftex]\n
f \\setupcolors[state=start]\n
data.sub!(/^%mpenvironment\:\s*(.*?)$/mois) do
f $1
\n
end
f \\starttext\n
f \\startMPpage\n
f data.gsub(/end\.*\s*$/m, '') # a bit of a hack
f \\stopMPpage\n
f \\stoptext\n
end
report(converting static '#{filename}')
runtex(texexec.tex)
pdffile = File.suffixed(filename,'pdf')
File.silentrename(texexec.pdf,pdffile)
report (#{filename} converted to #{pdffile})
rescue
report(error in converting #{filename} (#{$!})
end
end
end
reportruntime
end
but that's about it

Re: [NTG-context] run a ruby script and use the standard output ???
Renaud AUBIN wrote:
Hi all,
Is it possible to run a ruby script from a context document during its
processing (I already know how to do that using \write18 but there is
maybe a better way...) then get the output of the script to display or
use it into the document. It's a little bit hard to describe so I have
a simple example:
\starttext
\def\vartest{3.124325234543523452435}
\write18{ruby ./myscript.rb \vartest
X}
\stoptext
with myscript.rb:
temp = ARGV[0]
puts \nX + (Math::sqrt(temp.to_f)).to_s +
X\n
I would store the result of puts into a variable usable within ConTeXt...
piping: the latest versions of pdftex support this (i\ve forgotten the syntax,
but taco who wrote the patch may remember)
you can also let ruby write a definition to a file temp.tmp which you can read
in
however, luatex can do:
\edef\SomeVar{\lua{tex.print(math.sqrt(3.124325234543523452435))} or
\def\GimmeARoot#1{\lua{tex.print(math.sqrt(#1))}
actually, this is one of the examples i use in prelim demos at user group
meetings -)
so, be a bit patient and it will come your way ...

[NTG-context] A new manual
What is needed now for greater acceptance of Context is not new features but a new manual, perhaps a multi volume set with a common index. The 2001 manual is great, but many of the features discussed daily here are not in it. One must chase around the wiki and the individual manuals like details, and that is not satisfactory from the point of view of the new user. Most of us have memorized the locations of key information but newcomers have not. If a consolidated manual set were offered for sale there would be a lot of customers. Or an abridged version, something like the 1999 Excursion manual but expanded and updated, would be a possibility. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

I need to define a macro to setup the 3D annot before to use it by \externalfigure or with another brand new macro... just collect whatever we need to do that and i'll integrate it in such a way that multiple backend are supported as well as mkii and mkiv code - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

In LaTeX paragraph indenting is turned on by default. In ConTeXt you
have to turn it on first, for example with
\setupindenting[first,big,yes]
After that you probably have contrary problems: you have to turn
indenting explicitely off if you don't want some other texts to be
indented:
\starttyping
some texts here
\stoptyping
\noindent some other texts
\starttyping
some texts here
\stoptyping

But this should be configurable somehow. (I bet it is.) I tried some
of \setuptyping options, but none of those I tried was of any help.
Perhaps some other users may help figuring out the proper option if
available.
As a workaround this might help temporary.

[NTG-context] btex..etex fails in reusableMPgraphic (2006.09.28 beta)
Unless I'm doing something very silly, the following should and I am
almost certain did work, but it fails with the 2006.09.28 beta:
btex.tex ===
\starttext
\startreusableMPgraphic{fig}
label(btex in b/e tex etex, origin);
\stopreusableMPgraphic
outside btex..etex\quad
\reuseMPgraphic{fig}
\stoptext
The output says
systems : begin file btex-mpgraph-temp at line 42
! Missing $ inserted.
inserted text
$
to be read again
_
l.48 _
special_div_ := 1;
?
Here's a snippet from btex-mpgraph-temp.tex:
\starttext
\startMPXpage
mpgraph:=1;
randomseed:=33;
_special_div_ := 1;
The underscores in the variable name are upsetting to tex. I haven't
tracked down the chain of influence that put them there.
Meanwhile the same btex..etex test on a static MP figure works fine:
btex-static.tex
\starttext
\startstaticMPfigure{fig}
label(btex in b/e tex etex, origin);
\stopstaticMPfigure
outside btex..etex\quad
\usestaticMPfigure[fig]
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] \sometxt bodyfontsize in staticMPfigure (2006.09.27 beta)
Hans Hagen wrote:
this is runtime tex into passed to the graphic ... imagine that we
flush this to the mp file ... it can contain info that is not known in

the issue here is that a static graphic is processed in another,
independent run, that's the whole idea behind static graphics (quick
hack for independent graphics)
That makes sense. So should I use reusableMPgraphic instead of
staticMPfigure? My figures started as standalone mpost figures that I
incorporate chapter by chapter into the ConTeXt source file. I was
using staticMPfigure because I'd noticed the code in the ConTeXt sources
and it's so fast.
we can spend a lot of time to make it more advanced but within a year
from now we will have mp as a library in tex which will reduce runtime
to nearly zero (at least that 's what experiments show) so
Great! Although earlier you had said, when I wondered whether
pdftex+lua will make it easier to meld tex and metapost:
not really, for that we need mp as a library (we did experiments with
simulating that but it's kind of tricky)
concerning lua ... i do have a mkiv file on my machine that uses lua
to parse the mp output (precursor to mp natively spitting out such
code); currently its a bit slower (two step conversion ps - lua -
tex) but when using many pen shapes its faster because then we don't
need the tex based concat code; also, less (and cleaner) code is
needed for parsing
Oh I understand what you were saying: that pdftex+lua is not sufficient
for clean metapost intergration, one also needs metapost as a library (I
guess in lua?). Anyway, don't bother to answer that. Develop in peace,
and I'm looking forward to the result (and will be happy to test when
that's useful).
what we can do [for staticMPfigure] is pass info from the mpenvironment
It works well, thanks for another instant improvement. The 2006.09.28
beta passes the following test case (I will commit it to the contexttest
repository). It gives a 12pt outside sometxt and a 20pt in sometxt:
= with-static.tex
\startMPenvironment
\setupbodyfont[20pt]
\stopMPenvironment
\starttext
\startstaticMPfigure{fig}
label(\sometxt{in sometxt},origin);
\stopstaticMPfigure
outside sometxt\quad
\usestaticMPfigure[fig]
\stoptext
=
Another difference (not important to fix, just a strange corner case)
between staticMPfigure and reusableMPgraphic is the depth of the
resulting box. With staticMPfigure, the 'in sometxt' is raised to have
its baseline about at the midline of the 'outside sometxt':
= with-static12.tex
\starttext
\startstaticMPfigure{fig}
label(\sometxt{in sometxt},origin);
\stopstaticMPfigure
outside sometxt\quad
\usestaticMPfigure[fig]
\stoptext
=
In the reusableMPgraphic method, the outside and inside texts have their
baselines aligned:
= with-reusable12.tex
\starttext
\startreusableMPgraphic{fig}
label(\sometxt{in sometxt},origin);
\stopreusableMPgraphic
outside sometxt\quad
\reuseMPgraphic{fig}
\stoptext
=
BUT: I don't need this fixed! It's a corner case I happened to notice,
and I'm noting it in case it indicates a bug in the box manufacturing.

Re: [NTG-context] Texts after typing environment
I've already solved it now. Just
\setuptyping[after=\noindent]
is perfectly for me.
Thank you anyway.

[NTG-context] MPenvironment ignored for btex..etex (or should I use sometxt)?
I'm not sure what's going on here, but this file fails (2006.09.28
beta): [well I have a better idea now after writing out the whole email,
see the end...]
=== 3.tex =
\starttext
\startMPenvironment
\def\2{hello}
\stopMPenvironment
\startreusableMPgraphic{fig}

The error is (from 3.log):
== error snippet ===
systems : begin file 3 at line 1

\openout7 = `3-mpgraph.mp'.
! Undefined control sequence.

etc.
== error snippet ===
But 3-mpgraph.mp (produced after giving 'R' to enter nonstopmode) looks
fine:
=== 3-mpgraph.mp
lots of stuff
beginfig(1);
verbatimtex \global \loadfontfileoncetrue \def \2{hello} etex;
label(btex \2 etex
, origin);
;
endfig;
let end=mprunend;
end.
=== 3-mpgraph.mp
It processes by hand fine:
$ mpost -mem=metafun 3-mpgraph
...
1 output file written: 3-mpgraph.1
(or by using the system(texmfstart ...) command in 3.log)
Oh, wait, if metapost is fine with the file but ConTeXt isn't, then the
error above must be from ConTeXt parsing the metapost code and seeing
the \2, then complaining. So am I supposed to use the global option to
\startMPenvironment? If it's needed in this case, I think it would be
needed in every case (ConTeXt would see all the metapost uses of the
definition). Or is btex deprecated and I should use \sometxt (except in
loops)? Or am I just confused?!

[NTG-context] MPenvironment \def gives Parameters must be numbered consecutively
This test file (beta 2006.09.28):

##
l.44 \global \loadfontfileoncetrue \def \2##

1-mpgraph.mp gets this figure definition:
beginfig(1);
verbatimtex \global \loadfontfileoncetrue \def \2##1##2{\vbox {\halign {\hfil
\hfil \cr ##1\cr ##2\cr }}} etex;
label(btex sun etex
, origin);
;
endfig;
So the parameters in the definition are being doubled up by one of the
transformations that inserts the verbatimtex..etex block. By the way,
should the verbatimtex..etex block go outside the beginfig..endfig, as
it would in a standalone MP file? If only for efficiency rather than MP
reparsing it with each beginfig.
