Hello all.

quickly reuse any figure elsewhere.


What I did:

I use \readfile in a main ConTeXt file document.tex to include the file 
included.tex .
The file included.tex should contain *just* the TikZ picture and what is needed to 
compile it "standalone".


The issue:

It seems I can call the file with the TikZ picture description multiple times, 
with \readfile,
from within the very same \placefigure.

However, if I call it by using two successive \placefigure commands,
the \usetikzlibrary[blabla] in the included file doesn't seem to be recognised.
E.g. with the provided example below, the key "right angle" is not understood, 
as if \usetikzlibrary[angles] was not there.

One workaround would be to use 
\usetikzlibrary[allTheLibrariesISupposeMightEverBeNeeded]
in the calling file. But I don't like it. I would rather have only the TikZ 
libraries relevant to some picture included in the corresponding file.

I'm quite startled by the fact that :
   >  \placefigure[here][]{This is a figure}{
   >\readfile{included}{}{File not found.}

does not.
modules are loaded only once so you just have to call it in the main 
document (more efficient than reloading each time anyway)


loading some module inside a figure is actually problemantic because you 
can end up with a mix of global and local definitions depending on how a 
module is set up (and tikz being pretty large it might be that at some 
point you can expect problems, apart from loading taking time)


you can try to do \input {m-tikz.mlxl} or whatever but don't expect much 
help when there is an isseu due to multiple loading of tikz


if there's a lot of extra tikz stuff then you can put that in a privane 
module or environment (these are also loaded once) and load that one


if you use the project structure you can actually share environments and 
again these are then loaded once

[NTG-context] readfile not understood

2011-09-29 Thread Meer, H. van der
I do not understand while \readfile behaves differently from \input with regard 
to TeX-code processing.
I have the following code:

\readfile{metapost-setup} %(file with metapost inclusions)
\starttext
\startMPpage
..
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

Replace the \readfile by: 
  \input ../../../metapost-setup %(file with metapost inclusions) 
works ok.
But with \readfile seems to be skipped silently, that is without any sign of it 
in the log. The convenience of \readfile should be, if I understand correctly, 
that it searches upwards to the root of directory tree. Which makes the series 
of ../'s unnecessary and allows for easily pushing the tex-files further down 
when their number grows.
Can it be explained?

\readfile expects three arguments, replace it with \ReadFile which expects only 
one.

Re: [NTG-context] readfile not understood

Finding the file works with \ReadFile{} works. But is generates another problem 
because

  \input ../../../metapost-setup
and
  \ReadFile{metapost-setup}

behave differently! The \input process my \startMPinclusions correctly but the 
ReadFile does not, because the following metapost has the definitions missing.

When you have files which are shared between many different files, then put the

It works, but does not fit my need. I wanted to add an option to the 
filter module to allow the user to say:


\setupexternalfilters[directory=$TEMP]

I am just looking for macro that takes the filename as a (brace

It is straight forward to fix \ReadFile so that absolute paths work:

\unexpanded\def\readfile #1{\doreadfile{any} \empty{#1}}
\unexpanded\def\ReadFile #1{\doreadfile{any} \empty{#1}\donothing\donothing}

I just wondering if the current behavior is a design decision or an

Yes, for both MkII and MkIV. But this still does not fit the requirement 
of my module.


\setupexternalfilters
  [directory=,
   outputfile=~/output/\externalfilterinputfile.tex,
   readcommand=\ReadFilter]

will fail. (The above will generate all the *-*.tmp files in current 
directory, which can be purged by passing --purge. The output files are 
generated in ~/output directory for future reference. But \ReadFilter 
cannot read the file.


I think that I will go with separate definitions for MkII and MkIV, or 
perhaps even redefine \ReadFile just before the read function is defined.

IIRC, system modes cannot be reset using \(enable|disable)mode.

\enablemode[mkiv] \newsystemmode{mkiv} \setsystemmode{mkiv}

One more minor difference to remember.


Ah, ok, I can add that to mkii of course (actuallym, it shoul dnot be in 
cont-new any longer) ... I just had forgotten that there was a mkii mode 
at all.

[NTG-context] \ReadFile in MkII vs MkIV

2010-10-16 Thread Aditya Mahajan

Hi,

In MkII, I can say

\ReadFile{/tmp/filename}

to read a file in /tmp directory. However, in MkIV, that fails because
ReadFile is defined as

\unexpanded\def\ReadFile #1{\doreadfile{any} {.}{#1}\donothing\donothing}

so it explicitly searches in the . (current) directory.

Bug or feature?

Aditya
