How can I float text around a picture if I place them on a layer?
What I want to achieve is something like this:
ppp
ppp
...
but typeset onto a layer to position it at my will ...
Not possible with a layer.
But I can't get the text flow around the graphic. Here is a minimal example:
-
\definelayer[test]
\startbuffer[text]
\placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}}
\input tufte
\stopbuffer
\setlayerframed[test]
[x=.5\paperwidth,y=2em,location=bottom]
[width=0.8\textwidth,height=0.3\textheight,align=normal]
{\getbuffer[text]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=test]
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext
-
and the result can be seen in the attached PDF.
The same happens inside a standardmakeup
-
\startbuffer[text]
\placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}}
\input tufte
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
\getbuffer[text]
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext
-
and inside a framedtext
-
\startbuffer[text]
\placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}}
\input tufte
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\startframedtext[width=0.8\textwidth]
\getbuffer[text]
\stopframedtext
\stoptext
-
Neither the mailinglist, nor the wiki or the documentation have given me any
clue, what to change or where to look further ...
standardmakeup and framedtext use a \vbox and floating text around a image
did not work in restricted vertical mode unless you use ConTeXt's stream
mechanism, you can find examples in m-streams or in the list archive.
Is there another way to flow text around an image? The image has a fixed
position (top left corner of the text) so it don't has to be a float at all.
Do you really need standardmakeup or why do you use it.
A alternative for framedtext is textbackground, it is also the better solution
in grid mode.
\definetextbackground
[cover]
[frame=on,
location=paragraph,
background=,
leftoffset=.25ex,
rightoffset=.25ex,
topoffset=.25ex,
bottomoffset=.25ex]
\starttext
\starttextbackground[cover]
\getbuffer[text]
\stoptextbackground
\stoptext

Wolfgang

Thank you for all your help! Yes I *have to* wikify all the stuff I learned
while setting the Booklet. And I promise, I will do it!
Best regards
