[NTG-context] Problems with metapost in texlive 2009
I had a working installation of texlive 2007 on my opensuse 11.0 machine. I had metapost working nicely converting my *.mp files into *.pdf files. Yesterday, I upgraded to texlive 2009 that is available at http://software.opensuse.org/search/download?base=openSUSE%3A11.0fil...http://www.google.com/url?sa=Dq=http://software.opensuse.org/search/download%3Fbase%3DopenSUSE%253A11.0%26file%3DPublishing%252FopenSUSE_11.0%252Fnoarch%252Ftexlive-2009-42.2.noarch.rpm%26query%3Dtexliveusg=AFQjCNFYOop1cl-WcQify3O1T-zyK3GFeA I installed all the upgrades of the following packages: texlive texlive-bin-tools texlive-bin-metapost texlive-bin-latex texlive-bin texlive-tools texlive-metapost texlive-latex texlive-context texlive-latex-doc To test my installation, I ran the command mptopdf on some mp files that I had successfully converted to pdf on the earlier installation. Here is the message I am seeing for one such file (blk.mp): r...@linux-94ai:~/Desktop mptopdf blk.mp MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.12 seconds MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : running 'mpost --mem=mpost --tex=latex blk.mp' This is MetaPost, version 1.208 (kpathsea version 5.0.0) ! I can't find file `blk.mp'. * blk.mp Please type another input file name: You see, the file blk.mp is very much present in the directory (~/ Desktop). Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
in a multi column layout I want to place a figure at a fixed position.
Inserting a floating object at a fixed position doesn't make any sense,
but I need the correct caption (number) for the graphic. Sadly
\placefigure fails with
nx=3
yes (example works) and no (no general solution) :)
I updated the example (end of mail). Haven't looked into the code, but
this looks like an indexing problem to me. If \@@mc4 stands for 'multi
column 4' we are in trouble, because only three columns are used here.

Hello Wolfgang,
It works event without \setvariables:
\defineitemgroup[Tst]
\setupTst[1][n,\getvariable{tst}{broad}*broad]
\starttext
\setvariables[tst][broad=1]
\startTst
\item text
\stopTst
\setvariables[tst][broad=5]
\startTst
\item text
\stopTst
\stoptext
But why? I don't see any \noexpand in the definition of \getvariable...
Not sure but it could be possible \setvariables makes only a one level
expansion and in this case you get '\csname ...broad\endcsname*broad'
but not the the number itself.

Re: [NTG-context] Questions about \setuphead and \framed
Am 20.04.10 23:01, schrieb Michael Ewe:
1 The frames in the chapter both headings are much bigger than in the normal
text.
The chapter insert it's own strut in the number and the text and
changing/disabling
the strut in the header command is useless here (it's a bug but i'll
report this
in another mail)
2 The gap between the chapter number and the chapter name is different for
chapter 1 (on page 1) and chapter 2 (on page 2). The word test is not
aligned
Setting a font for style is not the same as setting it to textstyle and
numberstyle.
3 The value of strut has no effect at all.
strut in \setuphead accepts only yes and no, in \framed you can use the
values
yes, no, global and local, dimensions are no legal argument.
Since you haven't shown what dou want to achieve i can only guess but maybe
this setup is what you want:
\definefont[FontA][Sans at 36pt]
\defineframed[chapterframe][offset=0pt,strut=local]
\definehead[ChapterA][chapter]
\setuphead
[ChapterA]
[deeptextcommand=\chapterframe,
deepnumbercommand=\chapterframe,
distance=0pt,
style=FontA]
\starttext
\ChapterA{Test}
\stoptext
