Re: [NTG-context] Mini-survey: What do you do with ConTeXt?
Op vrijdag 4 november 2005 15:49, schreef Taco Hoekwater: What do you do with ConTeXT? I use Context for making the church-magazine of the parish of which I am the minister. With Metafun I constructed headers, page-numbers and all sorts of symbols - forming a style that connects all sorts of input from members and bodies within the community. It's great fun to see each monthly edition grow, from (sometimes) scraps of paper into an well-organized and good looking magazine, complete with photos and other illustrations. I learned using Context while writing papers for my training as a contextual therapist. And since I started a practice as contextual therapist I use it for flyers, correspondence, bills. There is still a lot to learn. I haven't studied yet the project management facilities which might be helpful for my monthly editors job. I would like to explore the chart flow module to see if it would be useful in creating genograms which are used in contextual therapy. I am very interested in using Context for texts with mixed left to right and right to left texts (i.e. dutch (or english) and hebrew). With so much still to explore in this great project, I am far from being able to contribute to it. I owe so much to Hans and all the others who really build this wonderful 'thing'.

[NTG-context] layers and papersize
This is probably a beginners question. While trying to understand the
layer-mechanism I made a drawing which is meant as a background for a
schedule in a magazine. I add the information within this drawing using the
'register' option I found on page 263 of the Metafun manual.
Here is the example in a minimal form:
\starttext
\definelayer[rooster]
\startuseMPgraphic{list}
path p, s ;
p := unitsquare scaled 3cm superellipsed 0.84 ;
s := flex ((2.5cm,3.0cm), (10.0cm,3.0cm), (6.5cm,-0.5cm)) ;
draw p withpen pencircle scaled 5pt withcolor .625white ;
draw s withpen pencircle scaled 3pt withcolor .625white ;
register (da,2.4cm,2.4cm,(.3cm,2.8cm)) ;
register (name,5.6cm,0.6cm,(5.4cm,3.5cm)) ;
register (who,6cm,3cm,(3.4cm,2.8cm)) ;
register(color,1.5cm,0.5cm,(7.6cm,-0.6cm)) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\setMPlayer[rooster][da]{\framed
[width=\MPlayerwidth,height=\MPlayerheight,align=right] {pos 1}}
\setPlayer[rooster][name]{\framed
[ [width=\MPlayerwidth,height=\MPlayerheight] {pos 2}}
\setMPlayer[rooster][who]{\framed
[width=\MPlayerwidth,height=\MPlayerheight,align=right] {pos 3}}
\setMPlayer[rooster][color]{\framed
[width=\MPlayerwidth,height=\MPlayerheight] {pos 4}}
\getMPlayer[rooster] {\useMPgraphic{list}}
\stoptext
This works for the standard papersize. But I want this to work in a magazine
on A5. So I add:
\setuppapersize [A5][A4]
\setuparranging [2UP,rotated,doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout[margin=0pt,width=middle]
followed by the fragment above.
But now all of the texts (pos x) end up somewhere in the left corner of the
page. Only the drawing is on its right place. I tried to experiment with
adding 'position= on' or 'off' to the 'definelayer' command. No difference.
Where are the misunderstandings on my side?
