[NTG-context] Layers in ConTeXt
Hello all,
I have a couple of questions concerning the use of layers in
ConTeXt. I'm working with Luigi Scarso on a layout which is
characterized by some fixed-position elements surrounding
the actual main body of text.
For the fixed-position elements, I'm using layers. However,
my ConTeXt is a little rusty[*], so there are a couple of
things which I need hints for.
The first one is very simple: is there a way to 'fix' the
layer's content until they change? I've currently set them
as page backgrounds, but their content gets reset on each
new page.
The second question is slightly more complex: is there a way
to add contents to a layer, rather than replacing the
current layer content? Something like a macro
\addtolayer[layername][hoffset=whatever(optional)]{additional content}
Thanks in advance,
--
Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta
P.S. To prove that it's really me, I'll signal two minor
typos in the context source:
core-tab.tex:88:%D {inintable, ifsplittables}
(first should be ifintable), and
page-lyr.tex:81: \c!x=\zeropoint,\c!y=\zeropoint,\c!position=\v!no,
page-lyr.tex:87: \c!location=rb,\c!position=\v!no,\c!page=,
position=no is set twice in the same setup.
[*] I've been out of the loop for a couple of years, the
University has sucked up most of my time. I was never too
happy with it, and I'm planning on a comeback :D

use a collector (Details, p.75) instead; I have no experience with them,

[NTG-context] Linetables ROW alignment
Hello all again, I'm using linetables, because despite their lack of documentation they've been rather easy to set up to achieve the effects I needed (colors, alignment, etc). I have a small problem with the title row though, because I would like its entries to be all typeset centered (whereas the rest of columns has them partly left and partly right aligned) but apparently there is no (easy) way to override alignment in a single row. In particular, \setuplinetable[r][1][align=middle] doesn't work, even though all other specifications (color, background, style) work as expected. I think that if a row alignment is required, it should be applied and take precedente over column alignment. Any suggestions? -- Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta P.S. Looking at core-ltb.tex I've found that \BH and \EH are mapped to \linetableBR and \linetableER. Is this intentional, or a cut-n-paste error?

This is how I would do it. Not sure if this is the best way. Use

An interesting approach. I really need to learn to use
setups.
In the end, as the layout specifications got defined more
accurately, it turns out the number and position of the
layer elements is much less flexible than I originally
thought, so I don't need this approach anymore, but I'll
keep it in mind for future needs.
One thing that I've noticed with repeating layers is that
they appear also on 'empty' pages (as in those left by
forcing an even or odd page). Is it possible to suppress
then in those cases? Do the blank pages left by these
commands have a particular setup that can be tweaked?

You can possible use setups and use \doifoddpageelse to set the

Thanks a lot. I don't know if using presets is actually
going to reduce the coding, though.
In the mean time, I've found that layers have a doublesided
option. This apparently allows you to override the
left/right settings of a layer, so I tried
\definelayer[title][

However, the 'main' setup is always used, the left one is
never used. Am I doing something wrong?

Apparently, I mistook what the doublesided option does for
layers. I've currently solved the problem in the following
way:
\unexpanded\def\titlexpos{%
\ifodd\realpageno\dimexpr\wdinside+\wdall-\wdtit\else\wdinside\fi
}
\definelayer[title][
x=\titlexpos,
y=\topspace,

\definelayer[desc][
x=\descxpos,
y=\topspace,
width=\wddesc,
height=\htdesc,
]
\unexpanded\def\figsxpos{%
\ifodd\realpageno\dimexpr\backspace+\wdall-\wdfig\else\wdinside\fi
}
\definelayer[figs][
x=\figsxpos,
y=\dimexpr\topspace+\makeupheight-\htfig,
width=\wdfig,
height=\htfig,
]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={color,title,desc,figs},backgroundcolor=elux-ultralight]
However, this solution doesn't strike me as particularly
elegant. I've seen in page-lyr.tex that support for
left/right layers is currently in progress, but if I read
the code correctly it just creates three layers (name,
leftname, rightname) and they have to be filled
individually. It would be nice to have a simpler interface
to repeated layers with position recalculated on each page.

Indeed, but if I want both sides to always have the same

write a macro to do that for me. It just moves the trickery

My expectation was that when \setlayer is used without

content for both sides. Alternatively, a way to specify
(even via presets) a position which is page-parity dependent
would be a good thing.

[NTG-context] factor=fit images don't fit
Hello all,
I have to place a number of images into some given-size
frames in a layer. The images should be scaled
proportionally to fit into the frame. The code I'm working
with is:
\defineframed[framedimg][
frame=on,framecolor=elux,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=white,
width=\wdfig,
height=\htfigone,
offset=overlay,
]
\setlayer[figs][voffset=\nextfigvoff]{%
\framedimg{%
\externalfigure[#1][
factor=fit,
% maxwidth=\wdfig,
% maxheight=\htfigone,
% frame=on,
]%
}%
}%
where \wdfig, \htfigone are the frame size and \nextfigvoff
is the vertical offset which must be placed. I've tried
factor=fit, factor=max, but in both cases I get images which
cross the boundaries of the frame, mostly in the horizontal
direction. If I add the maxwidth/maxheight specification,
images don't get scaled at all.
I would expect factor=fit to scale the image in such a way
that the biggest direction fits into the enclosing box,
while factor=max would scale the image in such a way that
the smallest direction fits into the enclosing box. Instead,
in both cases the vertical direction is being fitted, with
no apparent consideration for the horizontal direction.
What am I doing wrong and what should I do to fix it?

Ok, I've tried studying the source and I really think that
the way factor scaling is computed is wrong. However, the
fix is nontrivial, and a somewhat thorough checking should
be implemented, with earlier check for the factor value
(fit, max, broad), since the logic selecting which dimension
to scale depends on the kind of scaling.
Anyway, I've found a temporary solutin to my problem by
using a very large value of scale=, coupled with appropriate
maxwidth and maxheight values.

Sunday, July 22, 2007 Hans Hagen wrote:

Ah, didn't know that. I couldn't even tell from the sources,
since it uses enclosing box dimensions and not page or paper
sizes. I suspect the logic is broken at the page level too
though, let me explain why.
Currently, if I understand the code correctly, factor=fit
expands the figure to have its major direction fit, while
factor=max expands the figure to have its minor direction
fit.
Instead, the behavior I would expect from fit (resp. max) is
for the *expansion ratio* to be the minimum (resp. maximum)
of the expansion ratios in the two directions (not the sizes
in those directions, but the ratio between the sizes of the
figure and the container). The difference is noticeable when
the container and contained have different aspect ratios.
Consider for example a 20x30mm figure in a 50x150mm page
(strange numbers, just used to show what I mean): with the
current code, using 'fit' would consider the largest
dimension (30) and thus calculate a factor of 150/30 = 5,
but this gives us an image which is 100x150mm, i.e. an image
that doesn't fit! Whereas, if we computed the ratios 50/20 =
2.5 and 150/30 = 5, we would know that the ratio to be
picked was 2.5 in 'fit' and 5 in 'max'.
Or I misintepreting the meaning of 'fit' and 'max'?
an alternative is:
\framed[width=5cm,height4cm]
{\externalfigure[mill.png][maxwidth=4cm,maxheight=5cm,width=10cm]}
i.e. setting the maximum values
I hadn't thought about using width and maxwidth (and
maxheight) at the same time, thanks. Of course, I'd rather
have 'fit' and 'max' usable in boxes :)

Hi Giuseppe,

I don't think so, this was an example from Hans:
\framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=hanging]{location\\equals\\hanging}
\framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=depth] {location\\equals\\depth}
\framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=height] {location\\equals\\height}
B}
[snip]
Yeah, this is what I was thinking too. But as Thomas pointed
out, top and bottom can be used to tune the internal
vertical alignment.
PS: welcome back!
Thanks :)

Re: [NTG-context] Framing a linetable?
Tuesday, July 24, 2007 Hans Hagen wrote: Giuseppe Bilotta wrote: Hello all, is it possible to put a frame around a linetable? you mean the whole table? probably a matter of hooks; linetables work page-wise which may complicate things a bit so it has to be applied piecewise I've been experimenting with this a little. Putting the whole linetable inside a frame doesn't work because of the \nointerlinelineskip in \ifdim\topskipgap=\zeropoint\else¶ \verticalstrut\nobreak\kern-\struttotal\kern-\parskip\nobreak\nointerlineskip % fix topskip¶ \fi¶ in \flushlinetableparts -- if I comment out this section of the code, the table gets placed, but the frame is somewhat short. This is in fact a bug in linetables which I noticed before, even though it didn't affect me until recently: if the last line in a table is a \vtop (\linetablemode is 0) with more than one line of text, the flattening of its depth in \flushlinetableparts \dp\tablebox\linetablepart\strutdepth causes the text after the table to appear *in* the table itself. So I commented out the depth smashing, and the frame now has the correct size. There is one more thing missing, though, and it's the fact that the table is typeset halfway to the right of the frame, as if a large indentation was placed before each line. If I manage to squeeze out this last bug, I can frame the table automatically which will be a great advantage for me. -- Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Boxed items don't like sidefloats
Hello all,
here's a test document:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\newbox\testbox
\starttext
\setbox\testbox\vbox{%
\placefigure[outer,none,fit]{}{%
\framed[width=.2\hsize,height=.2\hsize,offset=none]{}%
}%

\item some test
\item \input knuth

\setbox\testbox\vbox{%
\placefigure[outer,none,fit]{}{%
\framed[width=.2\hsize,height=.2\hsize,offset=none]{}%
}%
\startitemize
\item some test
\item \input knuth
\item \input tufte
\stopitemize
}
\box\testbox
\stoptext
As you may notice, items think the placefigure refers to all
of them, so that if a particular item is bigger than the
figure height, it will wrap correctly around the
(inexistent) box, otherwise it will just side it.
Interesting, the same thing does *not* happen when not going
through a box, but typesetting things directly in the page.
However, for my application I need to typeset the sidefloat
and the itemization in a box, so I hit the bug ...
Suggestions?

(In cont-usr or something) actually, lmr will be in all distributions, if it isn't already; it will replace cmr (at least the non math part) [either or not by map file entries]; the reason why i push it a bit is (1) it needs testing and (2) well, i want to push usage, and (3) it is simply a better solution esp with accented characters. So, even if you use cmr12, it will be mapped onto lmr12 (either in (con)tex(t) or by means of a map file); don't worry, it is compatible; (although there may be future variants that have improvements) Yes, but my point is that I *don't* use cmr (at least not in this document), so I see no reason why ConTeXt shoud load lmr :) So, how do I set my preferred fall-back font?

Reading more about it yesterday, that does indeed sound non-optimal. Can you say what the requirements would be for improving Palatino math support would be? Well, all things considered I would say that augmenting the mathpazo collection would be the best thing. (And have you tried my little typescript hack?) Yes. It works perfectly, thanks :) For those trying to follow along: Young Ryu's pxmath: * Current ConTeXt choice + Complete AMS glyph coverage - Some spacing bugs - No longer supported, and deprecated in LaTeX world Diego Puga's mathpazo: * LaTeX's preferred choice (of free fonts) + heavily tested spacing - only 'basic' math support I think some sort of hybrid is possible. Without relying on virtual fonts, it would be necessary to make a choice between the two blackboard options. Is it possible to set mathpazo as the default math font for Palatino, and setting px as the fallback? -- Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

While we're at it, the reference compression method is a
little too aggressive: I have a \cite[onething,another] and
it gives me [1--2] in text ... in this case [1,2] would be
better, IMO. Compression is good if you have three or more

It works, but it needs a \scantokens inside the centerline

[NTG-context] Complex layout question
Hi all, I have a LARGE (we're talking about the hundred
scale) number of floats I would like to distribute across a
document. These are paired (a table and a figure). The
layout that results from coupling them side by side doesn't
satisfy me, so I was looking for a different approach. I
would like them to be distributed across the pages by
placing the tables at the top left and the figure at the
bottom right, text flowing around them. Since there is a
very large number of floats, I would like this placement to
be automatic: From now on, do this until you run out of
text/floats
I already did something like the following
\newcount\curvenum
\global\curvenum=1
\def\newpar{
\oldpar
\glet\par\oldpar
\input tests/curves-\the\curvenum.tex
\global\advance\curvenum1
\ifnum\curvenum8\let\par\newpar\fi
}
\let\oldpar\par
\let\par\newpar
to delay-load floats, since loading them all at once fills
up the main memory. But how to achieve the layout?

No, it was because I had disabled \preloadfonts.
Interesting. Is this intentional or unintended? It would
seem that without preloadfonts math never gets properly

[NTG-context] Automatic next indent
Hello all, and Hans in particular: Some time ago http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ref.ntg.nl/msg01744.html I had proposed a patch that added the auto value to some commmon indentnext options. I would *really* this to be taken into consideration. Rationale: things like formulas, itemgroups and the like (basically, everything that allows indentnext) are displays. Displays are parts of the document that are embedded in a paragraph but are put in display by appropriate indenting other tricks. Now, there are cases in which the paragraph continues after the display, and cases when it doesn't. So for example Some text in a paragraph, plus other text, still in the same paragraph and a displayed thing and a continuation of the same paragraph with some more text and other text would be different from Some text in a paragraph, plus other text, still in the same paragraph and a displayed thing In a separate pragraph, we have some other text Note that the two cases should be handled separately: in the first case, I *don't* want any indentation nor any blank line; in the second case, I might want either or both. indentnext=auto would NOT put an indent in cases like this: some paragraph \startdisplayedmaterial displayed stuff (formula or itemgroup or anything else) \stopdisplayedmaterial still same paragraph but WOULD put an indent here some paragraph \startdisplayedmaterial displayed stuff (formula or itemgroup or anything else) \stopdisplayedmaterial Different paragraph Hans, can you please consider it for inclusion?

[NTG-context] bib module: interaction (wish)
Hello all, and Taco in particular, I'm a great fan of interaction, and I was wondering about what kind of interaction the BibTeX module could support. I'm thinking of two of them in particular. One of them is the obvious link to list of references on click. However, I'm also a great fan of balloons, so I was thinking of something like a popup-on-hover showing the full reference, thus sparing the need to go back-and-forth through the document. (Can these things be optimized so that the popup is only stored once in the PDF?) A potential problem would be with compressed citations, but I guess that in this case making only the displayed numbers active is the right solution. -- Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Looks like I didn't make myself clear. I don't want the
label prefix to be automatic.
I want the reference to automatically add part ... (in the
text) when the current part is different from the part of
the referenced thing.
I see that the example was too verbose to be minimal
enough. Second go:
\starttext
\part{Part one}
\chapter[interest]{Chapter one}
\chapter{Chapter two}
As seen in \in chapter[interest]
\part{Part two}
\chapter{Chapter one of part two}
\chapter{Chapter two of part two}

\stoptext
If you compile this example, you'll see that both \in's
print the same output, but the second one is referring to
chapter 2 in part 1, and this is not clear (it seems it's
referring to chapter 1 in the same part), so it should add
, part 1 to make it clear.

Assuming that increasing the input stack is possible and desirable, how do I do it? Please disregardi this, and remove the two modules. Since it seems the 'Missing symbol fonts' problem only happens with a big document, try the usual 'divide and conquer method': terminate your document right after the formula that gives the error, and progressively comment out halves of the preceding text until you manage to isolate the chunk of text preceding the formula that generates the error. Example: say that that from \starttext to \stoptext there are 300 lines, and that the formula is at the last line. Then you comment the first 150 lines and see if the error occurs. If it doesn't happen, you uncomment the first 150 and comment the subsequent 150 (Except for the formula, of course). This way you can tell which half causes the error. In the uncommented half that causes the error you repeat the process (75 lines at a time), then again and again until you manage to focus around the shortest document that causes the error. -- Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
