[NTG-context] Need help defining command.
HI All,
I remember seeing some seeing what I want to do but I can not find it.
I would like to define a command that takes an optional key-valued list and
1 or 2 manditory ones.
Something like
\unexanded\def\MyCommand[#1]#2%
{%
\NassiGroupFrame[#1]{#2}%
}%
or
\unexanded\def\MyCommand[#1]#2%
{%
% extract keyvalue
\NassiGroupFrame[\width=\extractedvalueone]{hbox to \extractvaletwo{#2}}%
}%
where \NassiGroupFrame is a Frame.
To give you an idea why I need this see the MWE below.
This is a relatively simple example, there will be more complicated frames and
they will be nested.
Maybe I am chasing windmills and there is a better way and I should use cld or
lua for
outputing the Frames so that I can have spacing between the command and avoid
having
to use % after the first opening {.
Or does someone know how it can be done. Is there a way to use ConTeXt to write
the command
Pointers, help welcome.
MWE:
%

%% and width. to use it use overlay NassiSimpleFrameBox

There are ways to ignore the spaces at the begin (\ignorespaces) and end
(\removeunwantedspaces)
of a group but you should rethink first your interface for your commands (why
no start/stop commands).
It can be also useful to draw the whole diagram with Metapost and use the TeX
commands only
to pass the content to Metapost.

Re: [NTG-context] Standalone Installation Question
Hi, Just to make it clear: 1.) There used to be support for the native cygwin binaries in the ConTeXt distribution, but I only remember a single person asking for it and when it had to be built and debugged, he didn't have sufficient time to help debug the problem. Because of many problems (which could be solved, but there would have to be people interesting in testing and solving the problems, provide feedback, ...) the native cygwin binaries have been removed. 2.) first-setup.sh may recognise cygwin, but it won't download anything because the binaries aren't present. Maybe I should change the script to make this explicit and return an error when running on cygwin (there is not error checking - if fetching the files fails, it's not really evident). On Sun, Oct 20, 2013 at 6:06 PM, hwit...@gmail.com wrote: To: ConTeXt package maintainer for TeXlive distribution: TeXlive as of 2011 or so is compatible under unix type with cygwin. I do not want to use the Microsoft version. There is no reason from me to change code and scripts to work with Microsoft's methods. There is no need to. If you fetch ConTeXt with binaries compiled with MSVC, you should be perfectly capable of running those binaries in cygwin environment without having to be aware that they are not for cygwin. (I might be wrong, but that's my understanding.) Unless you are a purist and want to avoid anything that has been compiled with MSVC due to potential security risks, there is no reason why the standard binaries couldn't be used. Also I will not give up the unix developement environment that cygwin delivers to work with ConteXt. You really don't need to. Even if you keep using the windows version. I'd like to know the the Context package that was submitted to TeXlive. ConTeXt was taken from http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm. Some scripts were used to assemble everything together. You need to check TeX Live sources (http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/) if you are curious about how it was done. I presume this was in source format. Yes. But except for mtxrun.exe (which is just a windows wrapper for a lua script), the luatex binary (which is not part of ConTeXt) and the formats (that are generated on the fly), ConTeXt doesn't need any compilation. TeX Live contains sources for ConTeXt only + some binary wrappers for lua files (not relevant for cygwin). Everything else is either not part of ConTeXt or is using a scripting language. How can I get that for the beta/current MKIV and build it myself? Do you want the latest version inside TeX Live or the standalone distribution? If you want a working standalone distribution, a bit of work is needed first to set up everything. Most notably you or someone else would need to volunteer to provide binaries for at least LuaTeX and MetaPost. If you need the latest ConTeXt in TeX Live, it might be sufficient to create a separate texmf tree, put ConTeXt there and set up TEXMF paths properly, plus make sure that the latest mtxrun comes first in PATH. Or create a tlpkg with the latest ConTeXt and install it with tlmgr then.

Re: [NTG-context] Need help defining command.
Hi Wolfgang, to be honest one of my design considerations was to this work using MetaPost. But, my knowledge of MetaPost is minimal and it would be involved calculating the positions of the Frames/boxes and I need to know the sizes of the formatted text, etc Another approach would be to use layer, but I can not find much documentation about how/if they can be used inside of a frame. regards Keith Am 22.10.2013 um 11:31 schrieb Wolfgang Schuster schuster.wolfg...@gmail.com: [snip, snip] There are ways to ignore the spaces at the begin (\ignorespaces) and end (\removeunwantedspaces) of a group but you should rethink first your interface for your commands (why no start/stop commands).

This way, you can even override the options when using \graymath:

Using context mode=mkiv compiles the coding using MkIV, but
contextgarden uses a rather old version of mkiv, so it is unlikely that a
feature introduced a few months ago will run on the garden.

Layer has text inside in the sample above. I’d like to have it as a float.
You can use positioned layers (mentioned in the metafun manual but currently
broken in MkIV)
but you have to place the layer with a float to reserve the necessary space.
% engine=pdftex
\definelayer[avoidasfloat][position=yes]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=avoidasfloat]
\starttext
\placefigure[right,none]{}{\setlayer[avoidasfloat]{\startMPcode draw
unitsquare scaled 4cm ; \stopMPcode}}
\input knuth
\stoptext
Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
Is there no way to place that layer exactly 8mm from left page border
and 110mm from top page border?
I really need the layer in that position (otherwise it doesn’t make sense).
Remove “position=yes” when you want the layer on a certain position on the page
but don’t
expect the text to flow around the layer.
