Re: [NTG-context] Replacing a piece of a paper
Hello,
thanks to all for the answers, Peter's solution is closest to that I need. My
code now is:
---
\setuppapersize[A1,landscape]
\setuplayout[page]
\setuppositioning
[state=overlay,
yoffset=-12pt % Why?
]
\starttext
\startpositioning
\position(0,0){\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[TvNK]}}
\position(630mm,297mm){\framed[frame=off,offset=overlay,background=color,backgroundcolor=white]
{\externalfigure[_R]}}
\stoppositioning
\stoptext
---
I'd still have two questions:
- Is it possible to determine the size of the PDF being inserted (in my case the
TvNK, which is A1)? I'd need to know this because depending on this, I'd need to
\setuppapersize[size-of-PDF-to-be-inserted,landscape].
- Is it possible to move the origin for \positioning to the right bottom corner? It's
not fatal to know it, as having the PDF size known, I can evaluate 630mm = width.of.A1
- width.of.A4 and 297 = height.of.A1 - height.of.A4; I'm just curious.
Best regards,
Lukas

Re: [NTG-context] Replacing a piece of a paper
Hi, Finally, the PDFs are to be printed to a physical printer (= physical pieces of paper) and also to be provided to the third party like digital documents. The result should not have layers switchable to on/off, but I believe this can be handled by printing the final (even layered) PDF to another PDF by a virtual printer (e.g. pdfCreator). Layering was only an idea, which - as I believed - should lead to the goal; although that would probably mean to print the (layered) PDFs manually to the virtual PDF printer. Or is there another (non-layering or layer-merging) way? if you want to get rid of some part of PDF documents and if they are not too many, you can try to import them in Inkscape editor and really delete what is unwanted.

Re: [NTG-context] Which table environment?
Am 11.01.2011 um 01:03 schrieb Felix Ingram: Hello all, I've been playing with the various table environments but I thought I'd seek advice as to which would be the best for my requirements. I need to be able to do the following: - Repeating header row with coloured background and text (I can get this working with TABLE but not tabulate). Tabulate supports background color for cells, Hans posted a example last november. Headers and footers are supported too, look for \starttabulatehead and \starttabulatetail. - Multi-page tables (TABLE and tabulate are fine with these). - Insert images in a cell (TABLE seems to handle this better than tabulate). Indeed. - Have rows that will split across pages - we will have large pieces of text and images which will end up being taller than the page. (tabulates paragraph support is the right sort of thing) Correct, tabulate only feature. - Start next row on current page. ??? - Include other tables, lists etc in a cell (this is a nice to have rather than a must have) TABLE The reason I need these various things is because Word acts this way and I need to produce something similar (until we can argue for a format change). Use tabulate for text centric tables and TABLE for tables with a strict layout and figures and other content (because you can set the cells width and height). At the moment I'm leaning towards tabulate but I'm having issues with images and the headers. I'm using Mk IV (bonus question: as a newbie, should I just start with IV and ignore II? Or is II better for any particular reason?). Use MkIV, the differences between both are not so big but for me there are many minor things why i prefer MkIV over MkII.

MPtoPDF 1.4.0 : error while processing tex file
I'm using ConTeXt minimals under Ubuntu 10.10, the last stable version of
ConTeXt (ver: 2010.07.30 11:35 MKII). However, it produces the same error
with two other betas I've got in my computer.
I guess there is something broken inside the mptopdf since I can compile the
charts themselves with texexec --mptex chart08.mp. And when I include it
into a TeX file with \externalfigure, the pdf file created is all right.
Can you tell me how to solve it? I will really need mptopdf in two or three
weeks painfully. Many thanks.
Best wishes,
Michal

Hans Taco,
A tiny request: is there any chance to make the mptopdf script point
to --script mptopdf instead of --script base?
i see, the sh script is wrong
And note for Taco: I have no idea how it got there (I think that I use
TLContrib), but my TL installation (/usr/texbin/mptopdf) contains:
it was wrong in the context zip; for windows one can just copy the stub
mtxrun.exe to mptopdf.exe but the same is not true for the shell script that
needs to be:
#!/bin/sh
mtxrun --script mptopdf $@
I'm not sure, but a generic (copyable) script could be:
#!/bin/sh
mtxrun --script $0 $@
(no shell expert)

I have tried to compile the following example:
beginfig(1);
draw btex $x+1=2$ etex;
endfig;
end.
It works fine with TeX Live 2010/TLContrib, but fails in minimals
(nearly-latest version of ConTeXt).
To me this seems as if mptopdf was trying to run plain pdfTeX instead
of ConTeXt [or I have no idea what]. It then only reads pdftex.map
which certainly lacks the information about lmmi font. But I wonder
why it only reads from pdftex.map ... I could fix pdftex.map, but I
would like to figure out what exactly is going on ...

Just some more information ... Looking into the filename.1 makes me
very suspicious:

What exactly does begindraw do in EPS file? Adding ec-lmr12 and
lmmi12 into pdftex.map got rid of the error, but didn't generate any
valid output (it created an empty pdf). What mptopdf run on filename.1
does is basically
pdftex -fmt=mptopdf -progname=context \\relax mathmp.1
(maybe I'm wrong; but it behaved exactly like that), but I didn't
manage to get any sensible output out of that.

[NTG-context] help with citation please (mkiv)
Hi friends,
I am a bit confused with the use of citation/bibliographies in MkIV.
Maybe someone can help me?
Say, I have a bib-file containing entries like ...
@BOOK{mb:Wassermann1990,
title = {Alternativkommentar zum Strafgesetzbuch},
year = {1990 (Bd. 1), 1986 (Bd. 3)},
editor = {Wassermann, Rudolph},
% address = {Neuwied},
howcited = {\emph{Bearbeiter}, in: Wassermann, AK-StGB},
juratitle = {AK-StGB},
owner = {mascha},
timestamp = {2006.10.02}
}
In the typeset document I need an entry like this:
\emph{Amelung} in Wassermann, Alternativkommentar zum Strafgesetzbuch, §\,94,
Rn. 4.
In a Latex document I saw the usage like this:
\cite[Amelung][§\,94, Rn. 4]{mb:Wassermann1990}
Who do I do it in ConTeXt MkIV??
Any help very welcome!!
Thank you, Steffen
