[NTG-context] [HOWTO] spanning xtable cells
Does anyone knows a hint to get the stacked boxes to the correct size? When usinig non-zero values for the options spaceinbetween and/or columndistance the cells of the xtable will not properly size when spanning over rows and/or columns. e.g. \starttext \startxtable[spaceinbetween=2mm, columndistance=2mm, corner=round] \startxtablebody \startxrow \startxcell[ny=3] a1\stopxcell \startxcell[nx=2] a2/3 \stopxcell \startxcell[ny=3] a4\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell b2 \stopxcell \startxcell b3 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell c2 \stopxcell \startxcell c3 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell[nx=3] d1/2/3 \stopxcell \startxcell d4 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell e1 \stopxcell \startxcell e2 \stopxcell \startxcell e3 \stopxcell \startxcell e4 \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtablebody \stopxtable \stoptext pEpkey.asc Description: application/pgp-keys ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] checking whether file is landscape or portrait
Hello Pablo,
also Lua might be useful for you - some code like the one bellow, which
is based on an answer in this forum years ago:
assert(not figures.getinfo2)
figures.getinfo2 = function(name, page) -- [ [NTG-context] Pdf info with
Lua/Ctx API ]
if type(name) == "string" then
name = { name = name, page = page }
end
if name.name then
local data = figures.push(name)
local info = figures.identify()
if info.status.status ~= 0 then
figures.check() -- !Counts pages here!
end
figures.pop()
return --data
info
end
end
'info' might return not only width and height of the image, but also its
orientation/rotation.
And it would be up to you whether to swap width/height depending on
orientation.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Lukas

I’m afraid this is the second time I’m aware of the existence of

(the first time was when reading previous message from Taco 😅).
It’s a TeX primitive. From the TeXbook, chapter 20:
* \ifdim (compares two dimensions)
This is like \ifnum, but it compares two values. For
example, to test whether the value of \hsize exceeds 100pt, you
can say ‘\ifdim\hsize>100pt’.
The definition of \ifnum, right above it, states:
* \ifnum (compares two integers)
The must be either ‘<’ or ‘=’ or ‘>’. The two
integer numbers are compared to each other in the usual way, and
the result is true or false accordingly.
Many thanks for your reply, Arthur.
The explanation is extremely clear. I think I should try to read the
TeXbook (but I need time for this first).
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
