Hello Hans,
Asymptote developers wonder if there's a way to pipe to ConTeXt.
More precisely, they want to do the following:
context misc/null
....
....
*
\newbox\ASYbox
\newdimen\ASYdimen
\long\def\ASYbase#1#2{\leavevmode\setbox\ASYbox=\hbox{#1}\ASYdimen=\ht\ASYbox%
\setbox\ASYbox=\hbox{#2}\lower\ASYdimen\box\ASYbox}
\font\ASYfont=lmr12 at 12pt\ASYfont\switchtobodyfont[12pt]%
%
(Please type a command or say `\end')
*\setbox\ASYbox=\hbox{$x$}
*
*
*
*
*
*
*(Please type a command or say `\end')
*\showthe\wd\ASYbox
6.67703pt.
a more context friendly way would be to load a module that defined a few
commands, like
\newbox\ASYbox
\def\showASYdimensions
{\immediate\write16{ASY whd:
\the\wd\ASYbox\space
\the\ht\ASYbox\space
\the\dp\ASYbox\space}}
\long\def\setASYhbox#1%
{\setbox\ASTbox\hbox{#1}\showASYdimensions}
\long\def\setASYvbox#1%
{\setbox\ASTbox\vbox{#1}\showASYdimensions}
or whatever set of commands is needed. Kind of a ASY interface. That way
we can finetune at the tex level, for instance:
\long\def\setASYhbox#1%
{\setbox\ASTbox\hbox{\strut#1}%
\showASYdimensions}
\long\def\setASYvbox#1%
{\setbox\ASTbox\vbox{\forgetall\begstrut#1\endstrut}%
\showASYdimensions}
which might give better output
