[NTG-context] howto overlayers on section head

2004-08-10 Thread Eros Albertazzi
I would like to start to experiment some metafun decoration 
around(over) section head and/or page number.
Something similar, just for example but I do not want to copy the style,
to the one used to produce the metafun manual.

From the (small scale) drawing primitives to the (large scale)
\setuphead I miss an howto that combine the two
(specifically I was thinking at a (non-existent) background keyword in 
\setup to pass an overlay...but likely I am far off)

I don't want to be lazy, maybe it is already written in the manuals, but
I still miss a certain kick so to say...
Regards.

Good afternoon.
I have just installed a new Linux system (SuSE 9.1 with teTeX) and the 
new ConTeXt (texexec version 4.3) -- in the same way as older one. But 
my suggestion is to remove suse tetex in favour of  Texlive + (uptodate)
context
installation hints are in http://contextgarden.net/Linux_Installation
compressed Texlive iso in http://www.tug.org/texlive/

\setlayerframed[preset=lefttop][offset=1cm,align=normal]{the content}
my first asking was: offset? where did it get it?
then in texshow-web (altough rather empthy) I found \setupframed
but still I have hard time to grasp the picture globally, and I do wish
to be more independent. So sorry
However,anyhow.. I put it, but it has no effect
I use contex from tetex from SuSe 9.1, should I move to TeXlive+pragma?
Or is just something relate to my .tex file?

the best appoach is to typeset the doc and poster indepently, see 
attached file


it's far from perfect but it shows the idea; now, if you (and maybe 
others) can cook up specs of what you want, i can make a series of 
s-pos-*.tex files that you can then built upon; a kind of on-line 
tutorial in style writing; when done, you can write a myway document an 
article for the maps  -)
not sure if I am ready to understand all but I'll be working on..
on what I consider a rather more advanced approch respect to my
experience than your previous poster template with which I have been
almost able to reproduce (with better typo and easy composition) a
previous openoffice work..

[NTG-context] on posters, again

2004-07-29 Thread Eros Albertazzi
Still struggling to get a poster with Context.
Somehow I am puzzling why almost all my collegue who are accustumed to
write with latex+revtex for chem-math-phys journals then turn to
powerpoint to produce poster and/or presentation, although ConTeXt is
the layout oriented alternative to the well known LaTeX. and switching
tex macro should be easy.
I feel there is a lacking in information and/or guide that preclude its
use within this comunity.
Anyhow my question:
Can I have text within a (settable) margin in  \setlayerframe?
Probably not since margin are defined in  \setuplayout and having a page
layout atop of another one may not make sense
Hereis a latex example of what should be easier (and more durable and
flexible) to accomplish with contex

[NTG-context] suppressing hyphenation and setlayerframed

2004-07-27 Thread Eros Albertazzi
1-
I would like to suppress hypenation in a text of a \startfiguretext 
within a \setlayerframed
I am aware of the thread in jan 03 on the list and the fact 
that\setupalign[nothyphenated] (or \nohyphens) overshoot the right margin
On the other hand I do not know where to put the 
align={left,nothyphenated,width} that was suggested in the reply

here is the piece I work with:
\setlayerframed[page][preset=righttop, 
column=1,line=30][width=\dimexpr((\paperwidth-2cm)/2),align=]{\getbuffer[b]}

with the buffer:
\startfiguretext
[left][]{}
{\externalfigure[t1][width=.2\textwidth]}
... nohypened text...
\stopfiguretext
2-
still awfully raw on context I am looking for the options of 
\setlayerframed, list and meaning, command that is absent from manuals 
or web info-tools

in details.pdf some examples are build with 
\setlayer[..][..]{\framed[..]{..}}

what's the difference, if any, betwwen the two form?

[NTG-context] poster, howto for beginner

2004-07-06 Thread Eros Albertazzi
I would like to start using ConText to create a scientific presentation
poster to be printed in A0 or smaller size
A single sheet of pubblication in which text and figures with captions,
can be framed (i.e. boxed) and putted on the page in row and colum, 
equally distibuted or not.
A loose layout wish can be the attaced one.

Any hint on where to find an howto guide, a template or a beginner
document to start from?
How ConText is suited for this purpose and popular for this goal?
Regards.
