[NTG-context] modife the style of taspresent
Dear All,
anybody can help me on this problem?
As most of the ppt file's background are graphics, but I don't know
how to do it by modify the sytelefile. for example bellow style:
-
%D \module
%D [ file=t-horizontalblue,
%Dversion=2007.07.17,
%D title=\CONTEXT\ Style File,
%D subtitle=Presentation Module horizontalblue,
%D author=Thomas A. Schmitz,
%D date=\currentdate,
%D copyright={Thomas A. Schmitz}]
%C
%C Copyright 2007 Thomas A. Schmitz.
%C This file may be distributed under the GNU General Public License v. 2.0.
%D This file provides the \quotation{horizontalblue} style for the presentation
%D module. It is loaded at runtime. The look of this style was inspired by the
%D \quotation{Copenhagen} theme of the \LaTeX\ {\tt beamer} package.
\writestatus{loading}{module newstyle}
\startmodule[newstyle]
\unprotect
%D The taspresentation module provides a skeleton into which different styles
%D can be hooked. It uses a number of variables and macros which have to be set
%D beforehand. Some parts are optional. We begin with the necessary definitions:
%D We start colors:
\setupcolors[state=start]
%D These macros are used for placing figures/pictures:
\define\NormalHeight{.97\textheight}
\define\NormalWidth{.476\textwidth}
\define\PictureFrameHeight{.97\textheight}
\define\PictureFrameWidth{.476\textwidth}
%D The page layout:
\setuplayout [width=fit,
margin=0cm,
height=14.7cm,
header=1.75cm,
footer=1.2cm,
topspace=1cm,
backspace=1cm,
location=singlesided]
%D The macro for typesetting the Slidetitle; this is adapted from a sample
%D document that Brooks Moses published on the wiki:
\definelayer[slidetitle]
[width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight,
x=10mm]
\define[1]\Slidetitle{\page\setlayer[slidetitle]%
{\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=2.2cm,offset=0pt,top=\vss,bottom=\vss]{\switchtobodyfont[\Titlesize]\color[c]{#1
%D The macro \tex{Maketitle} produces a default title page with the author, the
%D title of the presentation, and the date. Using it is not mandatory.
\define\Maketitle{%
\titback
\null
\vfill
\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=.75\textheight,top=\vss,bottom=\vss,align=middle]{\switchtobodyfont[\Titlesize]\color[c]{\bf
\getvariable{taspresent}{title}}\switchtobodyfont[\Normalsize]\blank[line]\getvariable{taspresent}{author}\blank[2*line]\currentdate}
\vfill
\null}
%D The following parts are optional; if you don't use backgrounds and are
%D content with CONTEXT's default itemization, you don't have to set these
%D macros.
%D We define our colors:
\definecolor [a][s=.95]
\definecolor [b][r=.58,g=.58,b=.82]
\definecolor [c][r=.2,g=.2,b=.73]
\definecolor [Item] [r=.2,g=.2,b=.73]
%D We let Metapost calculate the background:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{vertical}
StartPage ;
pair zd[] ;
path pb[] ;
fill Page withcolor \MPcolor{a} ;
z.d1 = ulcorner Page shifted (0,-5pt) ;
z.d2 = urcorner Page shifted (0,-5pt) ;
pb[1] = ulcorner Page -- z.d1 -- z.d2 -- urcorner Page -- cycle ;
z.d3 = llcorner Page shifted (0,5pt) ;
z.d4 = lrcorner Page shifted (0,5pt) ;
pb[3] = llcorner Page -- z.d3 -- z.d4 -- lrcorner Page -- cycle ;
pb[4] = pb[3] shifted (0,.75cm) ;
fill pb[1] withcolor \MPcolor{b} ;
fill pb[3] withcolor \MPcolor{b} ;
fill pb[4] withcolor \MPcolor{b} ;
StopPage ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\startuniqueMPgraphic{horizontal}
StartPage ;
pair zd[] ;
path pb[] ;
z.d1 = ulcorner Page shifted (0,-5pt) ;
z.d2 = urcorner Page shifted (0,-5pt) ;
pb[1] = ulcorner Page -- z.d1 -- z.d2 -- urcorner Page -- cycle ;
pb[2] = pb[1] shifted (0,-2cm) ;
fill pb[2] withcolor \MPcolor{b} ;
StopPage ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
%D We define these backgrounds as overlays:
\defineoverlay
[lecbackground]
[\useMPgraphic{horizontal}]
\defineoverlay
[picbackground]
[\useMPgraphic{vertical}]
%D We define the footer
\setupfooter[color=c,style={\switchtobodyfont[10pt]},strut=yes]
\setupfootertexts[{\framed[frame=off,height=.45cm,width=\textwidth]{\getvariable{taspresent}{title}\hfill
\pagenumber \ of \lastpage}}]
%D These are shortcuts to switch backgrounds:
\define\lecback{\setuplayout[header=1.75cm]\setupfooter[state=start]\setupbackgrounds[page][background={picbackground,lecbackground,slidetitle}]}
\define\titback{\setuplayout[header=1.75cm]\setupfooter[state=stop]\setupbackgrounds[page][background={picbackground,lecbackground}]}
\define\picback{\setuplayout[header=0cm]\setupfooter[state=start]\setupbackgrounds[page][background={picbackground}]}
\define\noback{\setupbackgrounds[page][background=nobackground]}
%D We use combinations for placing vertical pictures and text side by side, and
%D we want a distance of 1.1 cm between both.
\setupcombinations[distance=1.1cm]

Thomas was unable to show his problem with a buffer, the filecontents

a given name, e.g.
test.tex

Everything between \begin/end{filecontents} is written to the file

This is handy for example given on the list because attatchments are a

[NTG-context] Two questions - Cross Referencing (Automated label generation + Random items)
As I mentioned earlier, I am trying to use Context to make a multiple choice test. I have two questions. (1) Suppose I want to get a list of answers to the the multiple choice questions. One way I can think of doing this is by assigning a label to the CORRECT answer as done in the following code and then referring to that label. Is there a way these labels can be generated automatically, instead of hardcoding them as I have done below? defineenumeration[problem][text= ,location=inleft] \setupenumerations[problem][stopper=)] \defineitemgroup[choices][levels=1] \setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed] \nextrandom \starttext \problem This is the first question. \startchoices \startitem This is incorrect answer 1. \stopitem \startitem This is a wrong answer too. \stopitem \startitem[1] This is the CORRECT answer. \stopitem \startitem Yet another wrong answer. \stopitem \stopchoices \problem This is the second question. \startchoices \startitem[2] This is the CORRECT answer. \stopitem \startitem This is a wrong answer too. \stopitem \startitem This is not a correct choice. \stopitem \startitem Yet another wrong answer. \stopitem \stopchoices Answers to the questions \in[1] \in[2] \stoptext (2) When I add the option random to the itemgroup (\setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed,random]) then as expected the choices are listed in a random order. However, the label does not change with the choice listing. I want the reference to be attached to the CORRECT answer, which changes its position with random option. Is there a way to have the reference reflect the letter corresponding to the correct answer. Thanks in advance for your help.

The labels change but they're always one run behind the current order.
You can use a fixed random order for the items (the don't change after
each new run) with '\setupsystem[random=3456]', you can change the order
when you user another number.
