 Hi,

 I have a tabulate which spans multiple pages and is broader than
 \textwidth, but slightly smaller than \textheight. I therefore want to
 print it 90 degrees rotated, but it still should span several pages and
 the headertexts should remain at the old place. Any idea how to do this?
Perhaps you have already seen this
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linetable

 If this is not possible, what is the best way to temporarily switch to
 landscape?

something liket his ?

 Hallo,

 I want to convert my thesis (which I wrote in plain tex) to ConTeXt.
 Unfortunately the process fails because my documents contain
 some commutative diagrams made in Xypic. Is it possible to convert xy
 code to something that ConTeXt can understand?

 Thanks,

You can try this

There are exemples there.

Hi all,

I created a m-xypic.tex file with the code that Luigi suggested.
Then I tried to run texec on my file t.tex, but texec hangs with a message 
xymatrix 4x2.

This is the code in t.tex

[NTG-context] Which manual for basic drawing?

2007-05-01 Thread James Buchanan
Hello,

I'm writing some simple workbooks for kids in grades 1 to 10 to help 
them with their math. I've worked with TeX and LaTeX for a while, until 
I was attracted to ConTeXt for is nice colors and things like that.

I need to know how to:

* Draw simple number lines, color if possible, label the cm dots or 
vertical lines, label the number line, fill in the numbers (or miss some 
out), place it where I want it, and perhaps have the label in a 
different color

* Draw plane shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles and so on, just 
2-D plane shapes. Outline in some color, inside with another color. 
Label them. Place them where I a want them. Sometimes I would like to 
extend the lines to show that all exterior angles add up to 360 degrees, 
things like that, and add in the arc and shade it in a different color.

When doing basic material like:

Solve:

6 + 7 + 4 = [box]

Have the equals signs and boxes lined up (or not), two sets of simple 
add these numbers (or whatever) per column. The answer box could be 
filled with a light color.

Is there a manual I should start with to learn how to do these things, 
and develop my own macros? First I would just like to learn how to do 
them, then gradually write my own macros. The material in my TeX Book 
and my Guide to LaTeX series gives instruction in drawing but it quickly 
progresses beyond my ability into 2-D shapes and so on. I understand 
basic things like \move{} and lineto{} and \lvec{} but that's where I 
get confused.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good ConTeXt series of 
readings to come to grips to switching from TeX/LaTeX to ConTeXt and 
then onto drawing basics and fonts and colors.

Thank you for your time,

James Buchanan

Metapost or pstricks is the easiest way to draw such things. I would 
recommend metapost, as it is well integrated with Context. See 
http://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/metapost/cours/ for some examples of 
geometric figures using metapost. Also see

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Metapost
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaFun
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mpgraphic

The last page does not list \usempgraphic and \startMPcode ... 
\stopMPcode which are perhaps the easiest way to include MP figures. 
See the metafun manual for details.

This can be done easily using context's alignment mechanism. I am in a

evening.

Have a look at the metapost manual. If you think geometrically, then 
metapost is fairly easy to use.

While I don't disagree with Aditya, I think tikz should also be  
considered. It works well with ConTeXt if you use a relatively new  
version (like the one in TeXLive 2007), some people find its syntax  
easier to master than metapost, and the code can be used in ConTeXt  
and LaTeX. Just have a look at the big pgfmanual.pdf, which is  
probably already on your hard disk.
