 After installation you need to generate the formatfiles: (texmfstart)

 This will also update your database with the filenames.

Re: [NTG-context] Natural table header mystery.

2007-02-21 Thread Wolfgang Schuster

Hi John,

2007/2/20, John R. Culleton [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


The table runs ok with the headers omitted. There are 8 columns. But
when I add these headers it gives me an error. Here are the headers:

-
\bTABLEhead
\bTR
\bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD
\bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD
\eTR



what do you want with this empty row

\bTR %% ROW 1

\bTD



delete this \bTD, there is the \eTD missing and it created a 9th column

\bTD[nc=2,nr=3]  BUY SIGNAL  \eTD

\bTD [nc=2 nr=3]   SELL SIGNAL  \eTD
\bTD [nr=3]   \eTD
\bTD  [nr=3]\$100,000  \eTD
\bTD  [nc=2,nr=3]FULLY INVESTED AT ALL TIMES (BUY \ HOLD)  \eTD



if you need a different height for your second row use the table parameters
\setupTABLE[r][2][height=xxx] or in the second row diretly
\bTR[height=xxx] \bTD ... \eTD \eTR

\eTR

\eTABLEhead
-
And here is the error message, relating to a nonexistent (in my
code) } character.

I could reproduce the entire table but it is hundreds of lines.



you can use long examples with lots of dummy rows in the following way

 Dear ConTeXt users,

 I would like to do something like this:

 I have a couple of sections in my page, and some graphics (fairly big,
 each 1/4th of the page size, say) to be laid out in the sections. Now,
 there are some sections in which one of the pictures is laid out on
 one page with some text, but there isn't place to get the image on the
 same page. So, the image is put on the next page. However, if I start
 a new section, the image appears under the new section (that is, after
 the new section heading), which I don't want. How do I enforce the
 picture to be laid out before the next section heading?

 One simple way to do it would be to force a new page before a section,
 but I want to save that space! :-)

[NTG-context] breaking framed text across pages

2007-02-21 Thread Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky
Hi,

I'm struggling against framed text and is beaten again.
If the text below doesn't fit the page, it goes below footer and stops pdf file 
without explanations. After many experiments I should note that frame text is 
not user-tolerant construction at all, unlike the whole Context is. :(

\defineframedtext[assignment][rulethickness=0.7pt, corner=round, bodyfont=11pt, 
width=\textwidth]

\startassignment
Write an M-file which inputs matrixes $A$, $B$, initial $N$ and number of 
iterations, and which plots 3D bars. 
\startcolumns[n=3]
\par\thinrule 
\par\thinrule
\par\thinrule 
\par\thinrule
\par\thinrule
\par\thinrule 
\par\thinrule

\stopcolumns

Find relative distribution (in percents) of population within age classes and 
store the result into new matrix $P$. Plot it too.

[NTG-context] tree charts

Do any of you have any examples of tree charts done in, say, MetaFun? Are  
there any macros, libraries etc. for easy tree charts in \ConTeXt?

There are three ways you can do it in ConTeXt

1) Most features: pstricks (yes pstricks can be used with context, but 
you always have to go the ps-pdf route)

2) Easiest syntax and prettiest looking output: tikz. You need one of 
the recent versions of tikz that work fine with context (except some 
of the exotic features, like adding arbitrary nodes to the page)

3) A very flexible system, but it takes a while to get used to the 
syntax: Metaobj. You also need a workabound to get metaobj to run 
correctly with metafun (search the mailing list for Taco's 
reply on a mail with metaobj in the subject)

For things like this, my personal recommendation will be tikz. It is 
not as powerful as metapost, since all the calculations are done in 
tex, but the user interface is slightly easier to use than metapost, 
and it has a good looking library of functions.

If you need something, quick and dirty, plain metapost with boxes 
package will also work. There is also the flowchart module, but I do 
not think that it can draw diagonal lines.

I used pstricks for this purpose for my dissertation years ago (LaTeX,

with ConTeXt, dvips does not work well with ConTeXt virtual fonts, etc

 2) Easiest syntax and prettiest looking output: tikz. You need one of
 the recent versions of tikz that work fine with context (except some

Never heard of it; will look it up

Will look this up as well, though I don't look forward to yet another  
syntax (still need to get used to metapost ;-)

 not as powerful as metapost, since all the calculations are done in

Yes, otherwise that module would be the ticket. Maybe someone will extend  
it someday; I think a tree-chart module is at least just as important as  
one for flow charts.

THANK YOU for the info!

A note to the gang:

Although the manual indicates otherwise the tikz module apparently needs  
the keyval package to work:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval/

and the directory structure of the zip needs to be changed so that it's  
easier to install (just dumping into /texmf-local and running mktexlsr

Hi,

Indeed it is best to unzip the pgf yip in a standalone folder.
I installed the context related material in the folder ../tex/context/ 
third/pgf
The rest went into ../tex/generic/pgf.
Beyond this you need to fetch the xkeyval package and put it into .../ 
tex/latex/xkeyval or similar.

After updating the filedatabase it should work.

Dear ConTeXter,

I'm having some troubles in compiling a document.

I'm writing a short book (a tutorial). I writing each chapter on a 
separate file, then I have a main file using this kind of structure

\input stile
...
\input 00.introduzione
\page
\input 01.scGrado0
\page
\input 02.architettura
...

Where \input is used to insert each chapter.

Also, I'm using a sort of style file defining the setups, and I'm 
inputting it as the first line of my main.tex file.

Some chapters contain long framed \type parts (it's a book on a 
programming language), filling an entire page. When I compile each 
chapter file, I have no problem.
But I can't compile the main file. ConTeXt keeps on adding blank pages 
on blank pages (total is approx. 100 pages, I stopped ConTeXt at 635).
I guess it could depend on framed \type but can't understand how to 
solve it.
Here one of the most difficult files. By itself it compiles properly 
(perfectly...I like it).

http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/03.oggetti.tex

Here the compiled file (it uses a lot of images and other stuff so you 
can't compile it):

http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/03.oggetti.pdf

Here the style file:

http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/stile.tex


Here the main file:
http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/main.tex

Many thanks as usual

Try changing your document structure according to

 Hi,

 Indeed it is best to unzip the pgf yip in a standalone folder.
 I installed the context related material in the folder ../tex/context/
 third/pgf
 The rest went into ../tex/generic/pgf.
 Beyond this you need to fetch the xkeyval package and put it into .../
 tex/latex/xkeyval or similar.

 After updating the filedatabase it should work.

 That's about exactly what I did :-)

 This really is  neat package, I'm already making and configuring trees...

Also have a look at http://www.fauskes.net/pgftikzexamples/all/
