Here you are:

\startFLOWchart[test]
\startFLOWcell
\name   {eins}
\location   {1,1}
\text   {eins}

\location   {2,1}
\text   {zwei}
\stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart
\FLOWchart[test]
\stoptext
Every other connection that's not from bottom to bottom does work.
Thanks for your work!
in mp-char.mp you should patch:
    begin experiment
xypoints[3] := xypoints[3] shifted (dsp_x,0) ;
xypoints[4] := xypoints[4] shifted (dsp_x,0) ;

Re: [NTG-context] LaTeX linespacing

2004-05-16 Thread glhoffman
I don't speak Dutch, so I am partly guessing at what you are asking for.  Look at the 
LaTeX package "setspace," which may be found at 
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/setspace.
The package is described at pages 106-08 of The LaTeX Companion (2nd ed. 2004). The 
package adjusts interline spacing either globally with a spacing command in the 
preamble (e.g., \usepackage{setspace} \doublespacing) or locally using a spacing 
environment (e.g., with the command \usepackage{setspace} in the preamble,   
\begin{spacing}{2.0}text\end{spacing}).  

Hope this is helpful.

Hallo,
 
Ik kwam bij toeval op uw site terecht ik ben bezig met het programma LaTeX en ik wil de regelafstand in mijn gehele document op 1.5 pt hebben. Zou u mij kunnen vertellen hoe ik dit voor elkaar krijg? Alvast bedankt voor de moeite.

Hello again,

I guess you know now; but for the record:

btexetex does not allow any variable part in the text to be
typeset. This is due to the fact that metapost scans for btex ... etex
parts in the input file and creates the text in one single TeX run
(preprocessing) and then executes the macros (so the texts are fixed).

There are several approaches to allow texts with variable data such
as 

%% does not work!
for i=0 upto 10:
btex "i is now " + decimal i etex;
endfor;

one of them is textext:

for i=0 upto 10:
textext ("i is now " + decimal i);
endfor;

should work (untested)

Hi,
any reason you use textext here? Do you need changing labels? If not,
you should use [...] draw btex $\frac{a}{b}$ etex; [...]
I thought textext was just a faster version of btex ... etex and 
supposed that this would be the 'way to go', since it is a part of 
MetaFun. But I checked out the btex ... etex version and that worked 
out like a charm. As you can tell from my previous posts, I'm a TeX 
newbie, so I don't know what's wrong here (if at all), but since it's 
working now and there is no noticeable speed difference, I'm happy with 
it.
So, thanks for your help and best regards,

Sebastian

Hello Sebastian (sorry for sending twice; this time to the list),

> \startuseMPgraphic{test}

> draw textext("$\root a \of b$");
> \stopuseMPgraphic


any reason you use textext here? Do you need changing labels? If not,
you should use

--
\startuseMPgraphic{test}
draw btex $\frac{a}{b}$ etex;
draw btex $\root a \of b$ etex shifted (10,10)
\stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPgraphic{test}

as a workaround. But this still looks like an unwanted behaviour to
me.

Hi,
Well, you should post a *complete* and *minimal* examplefile showing
your problem, together with the context/metafun version numbers (or
logfile). This way emails like the last one can be avoided and the
others can try to reproduce the problem without hassle.
okay, sorry for that. I've included a simple test file and the 
corresponding *.log files. The error message can be found in the 
tmpgraph.log file. I'm using the i-Installer teTeX distribution with 
the main TeX package dating from 2004/05/05.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi,
Hello Sebastian,
I don't know much about Metafun yet, but shouldn't you use math-mode 
for
\root and \frac?
oops, stupid typo. The code that didn't want to compile was 
textext("$\root a \of b$") and textext("$\frac{a}{b}$"), so I only

[NTG-context] Another Metafun issue

2004-05-16 Thread Sebastian Sturm
Hi,
when trying to set fractions or non-square roots in Metapost figures 
using the Metafun macro textext (textext("\frac{a}{b}") or 
textext("\root a \of b")), I get the error message

!Undefined control sequence
$\setbox \rootbox \hbox {$\mathsurround \z
@ \scriptscriptstyle {a }$}\m...
in case of the root and
!Missing $ inserted.

$

\mathchoice
l.11 $\relax ${{\mathchoice
{\displaystyle a}{\textstyle a}{\scriptstyle a}{...
in case of the fraction.
I probably made some stupid error, but I can't seem to find it.
