Thanks, Hans! That works, and it makes sense. Playing with frames always pays, indeed. -Gavin > On Jan 14, 2022, at 3:18 PM, Hans Hagen wrote: > > On 1/14/2022 8:10 PM, Gavin via ntg-context wrote: >> Hi List, >> I solved this problem, but the solution is a bi

Re: [NTG-context] Solved! Itemize columns with MPgraphics: another vertical spacing puzzle

Hi List, I solved this problem, but the solution is a bit mysterious to me. I was trying to solve another problem – removing the small space underneath the graphic in the framed box. I did this by adding boffset=-\strutdepth to the framed command. That not only got rid of the space inside the

[NTG-context] Itemize columns with MPgraphics: another vertical spacing puzzle

Hi List, I need to itemize graphics when I use those graphics as the choices in a multiple choice question. When I do that in columns, I am getting excess space below the graphics. See example code and output below. Any suggestions for how I get rid of this space? I’m not sure if this is

Re: [NTG-context] Spacing issue in itemize

Hi Hans, Aditya, and all, Let me add another case to this discussion. For multiple choice questions, it is nice to have the columns option. However, this produces somewhat inconsistent results. In the code below, without Aditya's tweak, there is space before the choices in the first two cases,

[NTG-context] MetaFun: textext.origin, thelabel.origin not positioned on baseline

Hello again List, Now I’m making diagrams using MetaFun. The MetaFun manual describes an “origin” option for positioning textext’s and label’s on the baseline. However, this dose not appear to be happening with the code in the manual (below). In fact, the diagram in the manual dose not show

[NTG-context] Spacing issue in itemize

Hi list, When I define an items group, it seems to mess up the spacing for a nested item group. See example below. Any ideas? I’m typesetting with > ConTeXt ver: 2022.01.06 19:51 LMTX fmt: 2022.1.9 int: english/english on an M1 Mac. Thanks! Gavin \usemodule[visual]

Thanks, Hans! Appending to \everymathematics is a powerful trick, which I will not overuse. -Gavin > On Jan 12, 2022, at 12:14 PM, Hans Hagen wrote: > > On 1/12/2022 7:34 PM, Gavin via ntg-context wrote: >> Hi List, >> I am converting problem sets from LaTeX to ConTeXt an

[NTG-context] \sub conflict with my def

Hi List, I am converting problem sets from LaTeX to ConTeXt and ran into a puzzling problem. I define \sub to produce subscript text in math mode. (See definition below.) This worked for my ConTeXt book, but fails in the problem sets because in ConTeXt \sub is a special item command, and I use

[NTG-context] Conditional text appearing in a fixed vertical space

Hello List, I am making problem sets for a physics class. Solutions use the style defined in the example below, and only appear if the “solution” mode is enabled. I am struggling to get a vertical space for the solution which is the same whether or not the solution is printed. Different

Hi Jan-Erik, Use the \addplot command when you use pgfplots. The manual, pgfplots.pdf, is quite good. \setupbodyfont[10pt] \enableregime[utf] \usemodule[tikz] \usemodule[pgfplots] \usetikzlibrary[arrows] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext

Re: [NTG-context] Status of Asymptote

Hi Alex, I don’t know the status of Asymptote. I am using TikZ and pgfplots for 3D, with satisfactory results (example below). However, it is slow, so use the buffer mechanism to prevent redrawing with every run. TIkZ/pgfplots is the best short term solution for diagrams I need right now. I

[NTG-context] Solved: Making metafun pictures fainter

Hi List,Thanks, Hans, for your suggestion. In the end, I decided that I actually liked the silhouettes better than a faint version of the whole picture. Silhouettes clearly show the motion, but are far less visually distracting. In the figure below, the projectile motion’s are clear, including the
