[NTG-context] Controlling figure placement?
Hi everyone,
Is there a way that gives more control over figure placement within a
columnset area? What I'd like to do is:
- have a columnset area that covers a whole page
- if possible, leave out headers and footers on that page (don't know
how)
- place an external figure on that page which is the same size as the
whole page, 210 by 297mm.
What I tried so far is:
\definecolumnset[test][n=3,distance=15pt]
\definecolumnsetspan[intro][n=2]
\definecolumnsetarea[one][fixed][x=1,y=1,nx=3,ny=46,page=3,state=start]
\definecolumnsetarea[two][fixed][x=1,y=1,nx=3,ny=46,page=5,state=start]
\setupcolumnsetareatext[one][\setups{mypdf}]
\setupcolumnsetareatext[two][\setups{myjpg}]
\startsetups[mypdf]\externalfigure[01-x3.pdf]\stopsetups
\startsetups[myjpg]\externalfigure[01.jpg]\stopsetups
The pdf is placed on page 3, left aligned at the text body, top aligned
at the text body. Both is not what I want in this case.
The jpg is placed on page 5, vertically centered which is ok, left
aligned at the text body which is also not what I want.
Headers and footers are not a problem this time, since the figure
obscures them. But in the past I've had images slightly smaller than the
text body, in which case I'd like to wipe out headers and footers on
that particular page...
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers
Michael

[NTG-context] Framedtext left/right offset?
Hi, Is there a way to have \startcolumnsetspan[intro] \startframedtext[frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=on,offset=1ex] \it Some introduction text here \stopframedtext \stopcolumnsetspan without the offset to the left and right? There's no frame drawn to the left and right so I don't want the offset there. Since I couldn't find a way to get rid of the offset I'm currently using \startcolumnsetspan[intro] \hrule\vskip1ex \it \input knuth \vskip1ex\hrule\crlf \stopcolumnsetspan I know that the use of \vskip is not recommended (according to the manual), but this is the only way I found...

Re: [NTG-context] XeTeX hangs
Hi Mojca,
Trying your minimal file on my Mac OS X, with XeConTeXt or with plain
XeTeX, I observe the same hanging...
However, the following, taken out of an example sent to you by
Jonathan K., works fine with both (indeed commenting out \starttext
and \stoptext in plain XeTeX):
\starttext
\font\lmec = ec-lmr10 at 36 pt

while the following results in a PDF file with Testing... ° 0
\starttext

\stoptext
Needless to tell you that all this seems extremely obscure to me...
Best regards: OK

But this doesn't exist. Also, changing the layout width is not possible
with adaptlayout, which might fix the left-right-positioning...
Does anyone know how to do it?

\startbuffer[Intro]
\BoxTitle{Introduction}
Experiments investigating the difference between finding something
vaguely famililar and actually recollected may be performed using the
``remember/know'' paradigm. Subjects are required to specify whether
correctly recognized items were explicitly ``remembered'' or merely
familiar, ``known''. In spite of experimental design difficulties, a
number of imaging studies have also been performed (Eldridge, Henson).
One difficulty in designing these imaging experiments is that one
would ideally like the subject to answer to questions at once in the
recognition situation: first, whether they recognize the item and if
they do, second, whether they ``remembered'' it or ``knew'' it. In
the imaging context this is problematic and has been the generator of
some creativity in experimental design. Instead of having the
subjects making two responses to the same stimulus in the same session
(like Eldridge et al) or having them choose between ``remember'',
``know'' or ``neither'' in the recognition situation (like Henson et
al), we collected the hits and fed them back to the subjects in a new
imaging session asking the subjects to state whether the previous
recognition event was one of recollecting or finding familiar, or that
they cannot recall. \par \stopbuffer
\startbuffer[Methods]
\BoxTitle{Methods}
Paradigm illustrated**
Twenty young and healthy volunteers were scanned while recognizing 80
words (encoded during an anatomical scan) out of 160. One subject was
discarded because of bizarre task-related movement. Three others were
discarded because they had less than five ``know'' events. The words
were presented for two seconds and the gap between them was four
seconds. There were three sessions of 88 scans with a TR of 4.2
seconds. After these three sessions, the subjects' hits were
extracted and two debriefing sessions were constructed containing the
hits, randomly ordered, with 30 percent null events. We sorted hit
events in the recognition sessions according to whether they were
subsequently ``remembered'', ``known'' or ``guessed''.\par \stopbuffer
\startbuffer[DataAnal]
\BoxTitle{Data Analysis}
\kap{EPI} images were realigned, normalized and smoothed to 12mm
\kap{FWHM}. No slice timing correction was performed. For each person,
$t$-contrasts of the \kap{HRF}, as well as its temporal and dispersion
derivatives were estimated. These were used in a second-level
\kap{ANOVA} to estimate the difference between remember and know. \par
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[Results]
\BoxTitle{Results}
Subjects performed very well on the task. Hits minus false alarms
averaged 0.53. 65 percent of hits were 'remembered', 26 percent were
'known' and nine percent were 'guessed'. The contrast between
'remembered' and 'known' hits at recognition shows in the
lingual/fusiform gyrus on the right and the precuneus on the left.
The contrast between 'remembered' and 'known' hits at debriefing
sessions shows activations also in the precuneus bilaterally and the
middle frontal gyrus on the right.

Re: [NTG-context] Controlling figure placement?
Hi there,
this is the only thing I could come up with, using manual page breaks and not
using an area at all:
Before \starttext, do
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=pagegraphics]
\definelayer[pagegraphics][x=0cm,y=0cm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\useexternalfigure[pdf01][01-x3.pdf][scale=1000]
Within the columnset, at the appropriate place do
\page
%if necessary, manual spacing adjustment on the last line of the prev. Page
\setupheader[state=empty]
\setupfooter[state=empty]
\setlayer[pagegraphics][x=0mm, y=0mm]{\externalfigure[pdf01]}
~\page
This is more or less ugly, since I have to break pages manually and maybe need
to adjust spacing on the page before the image. But I'm used to it, that's the
way I did it in LaTeX when I used the multicols package. I just thought there
must be a more elegant solution within Context.
I did try to place the background in the columnsetarea (which worked), but in
there never got rid of the headers.
Does anyone know if it's possible? Hans maybe?
Because that would be the one thing I need. If it's not possible I'll just keep
doing the LaTeX thing in Context, and have the advantage of column spans for
introduction text as a bonus...

Re: [NTG-context] Index sorting for other languages that English
Thanks Hans, it works with my test file, unless I set up:\setupregister[index][expansion=xml]which i need for correct processing of the XML files.If I simply add this command into the testing TeX file (no XML), the Czech sorting stops to work and all accented characters are placed under "A".Regarding the sorting itself (sort-lan.tex): I found the definiton of the sorting quite strange, let's say, incomplete. It makes no sense to separate ccaron while all other accented letters are placed under the unaccented ones.I'll update the definitions, test it and send it to you.-RichardFrom: Hans Hagen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]To: mailing list for ConTeXt users [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tue, 23 May 2006 17:02:53 +0200Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Index sorting for other languages that EnglishRichard Gabriel wrote:
Hello Hans,
after an upgrade I noticed thar the index sorting works even worse
than before (tested on Czech, Chinese and Japanese, but probably
related to non-ASCII characters in common).
With TeXExec 5.4.3, all words beginning with national (accented)
characters were put into a separate ("symbols") group and placed
before "A". This was not good but more or less acceptable.
With TeXExec 6.2.0, words beginning with accented characters are
placed under certain unaccented letter. My colleague found out that
these words are sorted according the first unaccented letter. This is
unacceptable and unusable.
We do a "work-around" so we try to avoid indexing words beginning with
accented charaters. But it's impossible in many cases.
I'd like to ask you to improve the index sorting. Could I help or
contribute in some way?
Attached is a testing file, which creates 2 indexes from various Czech
words (covering the Czech alphabet). The index should be sorted
exactly that way as the terms are written in the file.
actually the nex texexec implementation does czech sorting but it's not enables yet in context itself (was experimental until now)
- download the latest version (i uploaded a version that enables it)
- don't forget \mainlanguage[cz] at the top of your document
- in sort-lan.tex you can see how czech sorting is defined
(context adds a lot of into to the tui file in order to get sorting done)

You need to make sure kpsewhich finds the new texexec.pl. You can also try the version I posted recently that looks for the ruby scripts.

In the interim, you may have to do a bit of extra work to stay current. The nice thing about teTeX and TeX Live is that they have been designed so they can be self-contained, with texmf trees and binaries under one top-level directory so you can add and remove them without the need for a package manager to keep things sorted. -- George N.

Hi,
I always start tasks like that by setting the paper size and switching
\showframe ;). About the font size: the poster should be readable from 1.5
meter distance. It's good to start from at least 24 pt. You surely realise
that you have to be extremely concise in your texts, so you may end up at
something like 21 pt (which is suboptimal but acceptable).
Attached you find an example (figures not included). Feel free to modify
it, share and enjoy.

BTW, we'd appreciate if you used your real name in the From: header.
