[NTG-context] supp-vis and pdfetex
Hello,
this is slightly off-topic:
when using supp-vis in a plain-tex document, it runs ok with normal
TeX, but not with pdfetex:
\input supp-vis
Hello \TeX!
\bye

There are commands like \toprule, \midrule, \bottomrule that insert
horizontal rules with different thickness (default values, optional
ones can be added with [..] right after the command). Eckhart has sent
an example in his first post.
\starttable[|||]
\HL[2]
\NC test \NC test \NC \FR
\HL[5]
\NC test \NC test \NC \MR
\HL[8]
\NC test \NC test \NC \LR
\HL[2]
\stoptable
To get a horizontal rule from column a to column b you can (in LaTeX)
use:
\cmidrule[wd](trim){ab}
where wd is the rulethickness, trim is where to cut off a bit, and a,
b the columns. This is a very nice command that I often use.
\starttable[]
\HL[2]
\NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \FR
\DC \DL[2] \DR
\NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \MR
\HL[8]
\NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \LR
\HL[2]
\stoptable
\addlinespace addes a little space between rows.
we have \SR for that
Table preambles can be complicated... but the next one is pretty
simple:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@{}}
means: to the left of the table, there should be no whitespace (i.e.
the leftmost glyph of the table should be tight to the preceding
glyph) now, there is a right aligned column, two left aligned, 22
centered columns and one type v and to the right there should be no
whitespace either. The column type v is defined like this
\framed[offset=overlay]{%
\starttable[s0|s1r|l|l|*{2}{c}|]
\NC right \NC left \NC left \NC one \NC two \AR
\NC r \NC l\NC l\NC 1 \NC 2 \AR
\stoptable
}
something is wrong with the format key defining mechanism and hooks; i need to
check this
[actually, i need to merge the original table code and my patches into one file
so that i can make things more robust]
\newcolumntype{v}[1]{{\raggedright\hspace{0pt}}p{#1}}
Ragged right but so that the first word can be hyphenated.
Or another columntype could be:
\newcolumntype{R}[1]{%
{\begin{turn}{90}\begin{minipage}[t][0pt]{#1}\smalltabsize\raggedright\hspace{0pt}}l%
{\end{minipage}\end{turn}}%
}
that would lead to rotated raggedright text in a smaller font.
keys ... but i need to fix something
I know that ConTeXt tables have a lot of features that LaTeX tables
don't have.

[NTG-context] btex-etex
Hallo,
my ConTeXt ignore btex-etex command. It works as the btex-etex command
is empty. No text on output. Simple example:
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{test}
picture p; p := btex TEST etex scaled 5cm;
draw p;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext
On output is only page number. In the 'mpgraph.mp' is (if a skip some
definitions):
ResetTextAreas ;
SaveTextAreas ;
ResetTextAreas ;
if unknown context_core : input mp-core.mp ;
fi ;
local_multi_par_area:=false;
;;
verbatimtex \global \loadfontfileoncetrue etex;
let mprunend = end ;
beginfig(1);
picture p;
p := btex TEST etex
scaled 5cm;
draw p;
endfig;
let end = mprunend ;
end.
If a extract a part with
beginfig(1);
picture p;
p := btex TEST etex;
draw p;
endfig;
end.
and proccess it with mpost it works good. My ConTeXt comes from Fedora
Core 3 distribution. Any suggestion how to solve it?

Hello Hans, can you test this? Looks fine with several different visualizations. Thanks. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Hello Jiri,
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{test}
picture p; p := btex TEST etex scaled 5cm;
draw p;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext
The file works fine here. Except that only some part of the T is
visible (large scale factor).
Do you have write18 enabled? (http://contextgarden.net/Texmf.cnf)

[NTG-context] Re: Beginner's font flop fixed: fantastic!
Hello Paul, This message is to record my thanks to Thomas A.Schmitz for the solution to my font flop, and to Otared Kavian and Hans Hagen for helpful comments. I've planted the solution in the context garden at http://contextgarden.net/Talk:My_Way. Well, the font-problem is not related to my-ways and not realted to Mac in general. More to the fact that you are using a tetex/miktex/whatevertex and not the minimal ConTeXt distribution from Hans' site. A nice page on the wiki would be more appropriate I think. I once started one at .../Psnfss but a) never finished b) the name is not very clever...
