Re: [NTG-context] Regular online meet-up
Sorry, Denis and I agreed to postpone it one week and meet on October _12th_,
same time.
I’ll send a reminder.
Since there was not much interest, it wouldn’t make sense to start without him.
And yes, you just open that URL*,
agree to the privacy terms (yellow button, in case it comes up in German),
enter your name and confirm ("start" or "participate", depending on if you’re
the first),
confirm you want to enter with microphone.
Try it any time, just not this sunday evening.

See you soon,

[NTG-context] Running the examples from METAFUN-p
Hi! I am looking to METAFUN and I wanted to follow the Growing Graphics demonstration (page 314-- ). I copied the instructions and everything went OK up to page 320; the command to place the figure with a button returns an error: \stopoverlay}} 1 >> %% !TeX program = ConTeXt 2 3 4 \starttext 5 6 \startbuffer[a] 7 def start_everything = enddef ; 8 def stop_everything = enddef ; 9 \stopbuffer 10 11 \startbuffer[b] The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. You can just continue as I'll forget about whatever was undefined. It looks like \stopoverlay is not known!!! but \startoverlay is recognised!

Yes, there would have to be a pgfsys-luametatex.def and some detection code to switch the driver appropriately but that latter part is easy. I'm not too sure what is needed for the former though for LMTX. When I last looked at it about a year ago it was completely unusable with the LuaTeX driver because position tracking primitives were removed (\pdflastxpos, \pdflastypos) and box keywords had changed (\hbox dir TRT). Some catcode trickery in pgfplots also had stopped working (https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgfplots/pull/353).

I would like to use tikz to benefit of the package "pgf-soroban" I did write for LaTeX (after adapting it and before, later, to translate it to metapost). I did try the sample program from the tikz manual, but I get an error saying that "t-pgf.tex" is not found; but it is in the tree of ConTeXt-lmtx. How to make all the files in the distribution known to the compiler? Note that there is currently no proper support for LMTX in PGF/TikZ. https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/issues/990 Nowdays exagerating remarks like "lots of ..." just like "many buge ..." and "completely broken ..." and some more make me put something at the bottom of my list cq. dismiss. Interesting... it seems that only a few features don't work. I regularly use pgfplots, and haven't noticed any compatibility issues in my examples. What will be needed to add a LMTX "driver" for TikZ? Porting pgfsys-luatex.def to pgfsys-luametatex.def? Or is something else also needed? I don't know. If you send me the examplex that don't work I can check it. I suppose that it there is a well defined interface layer we can provide the connection and maintain that in the context distribution. And we can also just decide that some features are not supported (for instance because they interfere with context resource management).
