Re: [NTG-context] sidebyside figures
Hi,
The normal double column mechanism tries to place a graphic, stores it when
there is no place, and flushes it as soon as possible.
The \startcolumns mechanism works well intermixed with the standard one
column mode.
In your case, esp for vertical chinese, use columnsets:
\startcolumnset
\placefigure[tblr:1]{}{}
\placefigure[tblr:2]{}{}
\input tufte
\stopcolumnset
This will place the floats on top of the first and second column; an
alternative usage is:
\placefigure[tblr]{}{}
\placefigure[tbrl]{}{}
Think of tb meaning flush from top to bottom, and lr to mean from left to
right; so, there are quite some ways to place/flush a graphic.
Thanks. It place the figures side by side correctly. But, there is another
problem.
After the two figures, it force a page break and leave a large blank even
though
the blank area can accommodate the next paragraph. I attached the test file
and waht I really want is:
One column texts
two figures sidebyside
One column texts
Well, here you run into the difference between columns and columnsets.
Columnsets can be mixed with one column mode, but you need to balance
(automatic balancing is pretty hard for complex columnsets, so this is not
yet in the kernel, but manual balancing is (one can set the number of lines
per column). However, it seems that you want something:
\starttext
\startbuffer
\startcombination
{\externalfigure[cow][frame=on, width=3cm]} {\placefloatcaption[figure]{x}}
{\externalfigure[cow][frame=on, width=3cm]} {\placefloatcaption[figure]{y}}
\stopcombination
\stopbuffer
\placefigure{none}{\getbuffer}
\stoptext
This special feature (separate captions) was introduced quite some time ago
for Karel W so you should buy him a beer.
When testing this i foun dout that there is an error in the macro. A few
days ago i added the 'distance' key to caption setups, and (of course) i
didn't test that with free floating captions (unresolved intermediate
macro). So, in page-flt you need to replace the following bit of trivial
code:
\def\dodosetfloatcaption[#1][#2]#3% to do namespace for number/ascii

I believe Idris S Hamid said this around Thu, 13 Feb 2003:
I have a more important question for now: Is there an argument to \cite for
subdivision references? In LaTeX we have, e.g, \cite[p.\~23]{key}. In m-
bib we
have \cite[key] but no way to include the `p.\~23'. What is the way users of
m-bib get around this? Is there any way to format subdivision references in
m-bib?
Actually, Eckhart Guthöhrlein came up with a suggestion a week or so ago
that does this. He had:
\def\citeplus[#1][#2][#3]{%
{%
\setupcite[#1][right={, #3)}]%
\cite[#1][#2]%
}%
}
I simplified it to something like:
\def\citepage[#1][#2]{%
{%
\setupcite[authoryears][right={, #2)}]%
\cite[authoryears][#1]%
}%
}
And it is used something like this:
\citepage[McAd:84][pp.~4--6]
Hope that gives enough of the flavor...
cheers,
adam

how can I make sure both framed texts stay on one line without

should not occur at all.

I am getting a thinner border in the shape of an L, with white space at the page edge. works ok here, puzzled Bruce, did you try opening the file in Acrobat? It's based on a very nice 2-page spread layout, and the page structure is immediately apparent once you see it that way. On this, the only thing I changed was to use a different font, since palatino doesn't seem to work from ConTeXt in my new installation. One word: texfont. It took me a while to figure out how to actually use it on my MacOSX (TeXLive) install, but it works very nicely, once you figure out a couple stumbling blocks. I actually wrote a My Way tutorial on it, but it ended up being a bit too cranky. Hans took it more as a bug report, and said he'd work on some of the issues I brought up. So I'm not sure whether I should release it as-is, or if I should wait for texfont to change. I know this was discussed previously, but don't remember the bottomline point. Shouldn't these fonts that are included with teTeX and TeXLive just work in ConTeXt, without needing any intervention by the user? If yes, whose responsibility is this? Am using Gerben Wierda's OS X installer, but have a feeling this isn't his problem. Or maybe it is? basically what I did was: set teTeX = /usr/local/teTeX # my tcsh setting of the root tex install cd $teTeX# wherever you have your root tetex directory sudo chgrp -R admin texmf-local # make your texlocal directory sudo chmod -R g+w texmf-local# group-writeable to facilititate changes cd texmf/fonts # copy the fonts into the local font directory for munging the names cp -R afm tfm type1 vf ../../texmf-local/fonts/ cd ../../texmf-local/fonts/afm mv bit bitstrea # correct a TeXLive 7 naming bug gunzip -r * # I think these are shipped as gzipped files sudo texhash cd # or to a safe home directory where temp files can be created # next command is all one line: texfont $teTeX/texmf/context/data/type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --fontroot=$teTeX/texmf-local --install --makepath it'll make a bunch of font charts in the form of .tex files. To run these (and use the palatino fonts in s-mag) you ought to have \autoloadmapfiletrue in your cont-sys.tex file. I *think* that'll get you started.

Re: [NTG-context] Fonts again in ConTeXt
On Tuesday, March 11, 2003, at 09:46 AM, Patrick Gundlach wrote: Yes and no... ConTeXt is looking for fonts with names that are totally unusual compared to the ordinary TeX (LaTeX) System. Most TeX systems (and I guess GW TeX as well) support psnfss, the postscript font system to be used with latex. That means, that you should have fonts named in a cryptic way pplr8r.tfm or such. ConTeXt on the other hand looks for fontnames like 8r-uplr8a.tfm. Almost no one has a font named like this on their system. This kind of thing is just silly. The above named file is no more clearly named than the psnfss version, so what's the point? Anyway, I vote for your first name option for the mapping file: \usetypescript[psnfss] Make sure you send it to Gerben too, so he can get it in the installer sooner rather than later...

[NTG-context] table and MPpositiongraphic

while browsing thru the source and trying some examples, I can't

[NTG-context] Learning ConTeXt: \setupitemize
I'm learning ConTeXt, and I've chosen to beat up on \setupitemize to see how things work. (If the answers to my question are in some doc somewhere, please tell me where it is!) Consider the file below. I expected to see a hairline above the second itemization, and indeed I do. But if I remove the columns specifier, the hairline does not appear. Is this the correct behavior, or a bug? Also: what does the keyword beforehead do? If I replace before with beforehead in the example, I get nothing. Is it in the docs somewhere? In the lists of keywords for many commands there are parameters listed that I can't figure out. Some of them seem to do nothing, but I always wonder if they only operate in conjunction with some other feature, or I haven't implemented them correctly. Some of them do something, but I can't figure out what the rule is. Is there a doc somewhere describing the keywords? Is it in the manual and I've missed it?

Re: [NTG-context] sidebyside figures
Well, here you run into the difference between columns and columnsets.
Columnsets can be mixed with one column mode, but you need to balance
(automatic balancing is pretty hard for complex columnsets, so this is not
yet in the kernel, but manual balancing is (one can set the number of lines
per column). However, it seems that you want something:
Thanks, it works well as I wanted.

for Karel W so you should buy him a beer.

Dear Lei, It's silly, all I did was ask a question. Then Hans starts working on answering it and takes care via you to send me beer. It's generosity to the limit. Don't. We all owe context to hans and to his able debuggers and enjoy using it. For me he has made typesetting documents easier and funnier and beautifullier too.
