[NTG-context] Re: proportional column widths in natural tables?
Hi Hans,
thanks for the tip regarding the stretch option. I tried the option and
had the impression that the table is streched if the sum of the widths
of the columns is less then the available width.
Yet, if the sum of the widths exceeds the available width then the table
is NOT shrunk! I tried other values for the option key (e.g. 'fit' or
'{stretch, shrink}') but the table remained too broad.
Is there a possibility to make the table width fit the available width
in any case? My temporary solution now converts the CALS proportional
width weights into absolute widths with small units (e.g. 'pt'), hoping
that the sum of these widths does not exceed the available width.
\setupTABLE[option=stretch]
\setupTABLE[column][1][width=10pt]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=20pt]
\setupTABLE[column][3][width=30pt]
Best regards,
--Stefan

Hi Willi,
thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me, what the makeupwidth is?
It seems that I have to do some calculations for the widths by myself:
I have a CALS table model where the widths are specified by
proportional weights. - I have to sum the weigths of all columns and
divide each of the weights by this sum in order to get the necessary
stretch factors for each column.
I hoped the ConTeXt has already a mechanism for this kind of
specifiying the widths.
\setupTABLE[option=stretch]

Re: [NTG-context] Re: proportional column widths in natural tables?
Hi Stefan, From the english manual...p24-25 Basically textwidth is the width available at the moment i.e. when in any other sitation than one column. Makeupwidth is the total width of the typesetting area. Concerning you CALS table model, I assume indeed that you will have to calculate the individual widths...
