Re: [NTG-context] idea for a ConTeXt keyboard
Thank you Philipp and Luigi, never seen these applications. They are very nice. Such applications would be nice by giving lectures, Web Equation http://webdemo.visionobjects.com/equation.html is much better than my idea, Kind Regards, Rene' ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] Fwd: color conversion causes error with MPgraphic
Hello schoolboard and keyboard members, such a thing like the microsoft table http://www.3noobs.com/microsoft-surface-2-0-as-samsung-sur40-specs-price/ I had always in mind, but than a little bit smaller. I did not know that they exist. It looks me nice that you can stay or sit before a public, with your face to the public, and that you can write with your fingers, while that is projected at a great screen behind you. I have done such a thing with a tablet of wacom. But the students became sea-sick of the scrolling. In certain sense you need 2-3 screens, such that old results are visible, such that there is no need to scroll. I don't like powerpoint! I have always the idea that people are reading their powerpoint sheets to us, because of the fact that we can not read or something like that. And an electronic schoolboard is a little bit to small, or you need two or three of these schoolboards and that becomes too expensive. But the problem is also that students do not write anything on paper. Notes are not made any more. They sit and listen ( that is what you hope they do!) and think everything will be set at the internet, the lecture (video-college) and everything what is written will be downloaded. With ConTeXt I would prepare pages, where notes can be written down. So that you can annotate pdf-files or something like that. So staying before some screen, you call a certain page, which is may be prepared with a heading or something like that and then you write your notes and save it. Nowadays I use xournal to write Lecture-Journals at the internet, that because of the fact that formulas are easier written by hand than that you have to code them at a certain way. But I will never call such a formula at the screen and than tell to the people what they have to read. I want to keep writing, just as is said by somebody else, just for the fun and to keep the attention of the students. And it is easy to run animations, such tables. That is also the reason that I like it to prepare interactive pdf-files. It is time, I have to give some lectures, Kind Regards, Rene' ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] idea for a ConTeXt keyboard
Hello Hans, just back from the lecture I have given and I got an idea: Take not that keyboard of you, but take the Maximus (1430 euro!) or the Tactus, see http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus/aux/ Prepare with ConTeXt a number of keys, for instance parts of mathematical formulas and functions, or parts of molecules out of the chemistry. Put them in the keys of one the keyboards, mentioned above and there can be given a lecture with readable formulas. By touching those keys you get a nice written text. Or some key, that you get a nice table ( prepared by ConTeXt) at the screen. And such that it can be filled by handwritten information, using some tablet or otherwise. May be it is already possible for a virtual keyboard on a touchscreen or something like that. A ConTeXt package for the preparation of the keys of a virtual keyboard? It is just an idea, really I have no idea how to realize it, Kind Regards, Rene' ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] color conversion causes error with MPgraphic
Hello Steffen, have you ever tried the context version of TeXLive 2011 and than the updated version of it? There is made use of an updated version of luatex. With that version I have fewer problems with for instance TikZ. The stable version and the beta version of context both use an old version of luatex ( beta-0.70.1-2011052008). There is some luatex version beta-0.70.1-201106...?? Here at my work I cann't try your example, because I have here the context version of Ubuntu and that processes with the old version of luatex, Kind Regards, Rene' ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] Fwd: color conversion causes error with MPgraphic
Hello luigi, indeed the ConTeXt version 2011.05.18 18:04, with the LuaTeX version beta-0.70.1-201106141 is used in TeXLive2011. These versions give me fewer problems with TikZ than the version beta-0.70.1-2011052008 of LuaTeX, with the same ConTeXt version. For instance, frames are put over each other in the stable and the beta version of ConTeXt. But with the TeXLive2011 version, these frames are nice separated of each other and I have no problems with error messages about catcode. With the stable and the beta version of ConTeXt the process stops with error messages about catcode. And till now I have no problems with the colors. Is there somewhere a howto, which describes how to compile something from svn? I have never done such a thing, Kind Regards, Rene' ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] Fwd: color conversion causes error with MPgraphic
Hello Luigi, Stephen and Patrick, thanks for your reactions. At home I tried to process the example (08-01-2012) of Stephen with the TeXLive2011 version of context, but I got the same errors as the stable and the beta version of context. Thanks for the report of how to compile something with svn. Which person will ever buy Hans's-keyboard, that of http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus/popularis almost 10 euro for each key. I like it to give my lectures at a blackboard with chalk. At the blackboard I design my own keys, infinitely many, Kind Regards, Rene' ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
