[NTG-context] psfrag
Hello, I know this topic was treated in the past years, but I couldn't find the answer in mailing list archives. So, is there any ConTeXt equivalent to LaTeX's \psfrag command? It would be very useful to process PostScript output from vector graphics drawing programs. David ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] MetaPost with etex/btex
Hi David,
The use of the different possibilities of including metapost graphics in
ConTeXt are described in the METAFUN-manual on pages 9, 81-82, 115
For your refernce I attach a small demo file using your code ...
Kind regards Willi

Hello,
The following code results in no label output:
\starttext
\startMPcode
label.top(btex Some label etex, (1cm,1cm)) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
I'm using ConTeXt 2003.12.12.
By the way, why don't \startMPgraphic and \stopMPgraphic do anything?

Re : [NTG-context] MetaPost with etex/btex
Hi Willi, Thanks for the examples, they'll sure be useful. But I realize I have not been precise enough in my post. The point is that \startMPcode fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor red ; \stopMPcode works, while \startMPcode label.top(Some label, (1cm,1cm)) ; \stopMPcode produces some garbage between Some and label, and \startMPcode label.top(btex Some label etex, (1cm,1cm)) ; \stopMPcode doesn't work at all. Sorry for being that vague.

Hi David, So, is there any ConTeXt equivalent to LaTeX's \psfrag command? No. It would be very useful to process PostScript output from vector graphics drawing programs. How does psfrag from LaTeX work internally? Perhaps we are able to make something similar.

Hi David, Sorry for being that vague. You are still very vague. Your posted example works fine here. Please report what ConTeXt/texexec version you have. You might think of posting your logfile. Do you have \protectbufferstrue in cont-sys.tex? Patrick -- mon trainsistor j'adore ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Re: texexec page selection changes output?
Hello out there
I recently used texexec to select a given page from a file (attached) of
three pages:
texexec --pdfselect --selection=2 --result=cover2-tx.pdf covers.pdf
When I try to do the above, ConTeXt looks for a font aicmti10. What
is going on here? Something misconfigured?

graphics drawing programs.
How does psfrag from LaTeX work internally? Perhaps we are able to
make something similar.
I don't know how about its internals, but here's a usage example. For
instance, using some vector graphics program, I write a text label alpha on
some figure, and I print this figure in an EPS file. Then, using PSfrag, right
before \including the EPS file, I tell PSfrag to replace alpha with $\alpha
$:
\psfrag{alpha}{$\alpha$}
\includegraphics{some_eps_file}
I believe PSfrag works in conjunction with dvips. There's this PS file which
may give you some clue:
texmf/dvips/psfrag/psfrag.pro
I can neither read TeX code nor PS code, but it is likely that it builds some
sort of lookup table for the labels. If I can help anyway, please tell me.
There are those two other files:
texmf/tex/plain/graphics/psfrag.tex
texmf/tex/latex/misc/psfrag.sty

what ConTeXt version do you have? It sounds like an older one. texexec says: ConTeXt ver: 2003.12.12 fmt: 2003.12.14 int: english mes: english Freshly downloaded, but poorly installed by a novice... Actually I replaced the ConTeXt part from the debian unstable package source. So teTeX and ConTeXt are not synchronized.

[NTG-context] Re: ConTeXt Switcher?
someone (not sure who) said: I know XML source should work, but at least for me, creating XML source is unproductive. I work with a text editor and find writing this: ``Hello world,'' says HAL. much more productive than writing this: p#8220;Hello world#8221;/p, says HAL. Maybe I'm missing something, but for writing, XML's markup requirements -- which are invisible to field-based data entry screen -- are way too intense for hand-editing. TeX source is much less verbose. It is easier to create, proof (both visually and audibly), spell check troubleshoot, etc. I have not seen an editor capable of doing XML source in a productive manner, like (La)TeX with text editor. You're missing something. For one, your above example would be: pqHello world/q, says HAL./p Second, try something like nXML mode for emacs, or the XML plug-in for jEdit. Real-time markup validation, tag-completion, spell-checking, etc. Finally, you're missing the biggest point of all: XML is about reuse. You cleanly separate markup from presentation so that -- among other things -- you can trivially transform that to different output.

Re: [NTG-context] \setuphead question (long section lines not wrapping)
Re your question about the section numbering with a dot: This is
nothing I found out, but something Hans (who else?) posted to the list
a while ago, and I believe it does what you want to achieve:
\setuplabeltext[section={{},{.}}]
