[NTG-context] importing figures in metapost

2005-06-11 Thread andrea valle

Hi to all,
newbie here, so please pardon me if I'm asking obvious things.
I'm a latex user, but I am fascinated by context.
I've a project and I'd like to know if it's possible to do it in 
context.

The idea is the following:
I have to draw a directed graph representing relations between musical 
elements. My graph is made of nodes and links. Links are represented as 
arrows as usual, but they should include a label with text displayed 
near to each of them.

Nodes should be blocks of musical notation.
Now, I'm using lilypond to generate musical fragments 
(www.lilypond.org). Lilypond outputs ps, pdf  and png also. For my 
project actually I am using the pgf package under latex. In this way I 
can create graphs: I can draw lines with arrows, I can give each vertex 
an xy pair of coordinates, and I can associate  each vertex an external 
figure.
But I'n not satisfied with the output, and I like very much context  
capabilties:  more, metafun is amazing.
Taking a look at the metafun doc, it seems to me that the drawing the  
edges  should be a very simple task.
But: is it possible to import an external figure inside metapost giving 
it a precise place in terms of xy coordinates?


Thanks a lot

No. I needed to make just certain rows with greater height. However,
this tip will be useful in the future, so thanks!

[NTG-context] how to use caption with TABLE?

2005-06-11 Thread Paul Tremblay
How does one use a caption with TABLE when making the table split
across pages?

I know how to create a multi-paged table:

\bTABLE[split=repeat]
% create the head
\bTABLEhead
\bTR \bTD State  \eTD \bTD 3-year average(2001-2003)  \eTD \bTD 2-year
average(2001-2002)  \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEhead
% create the body
\bTABLEbody
\bTR \bTD Alabama  \eTD \bTD 13.3  \eTD \bTD 13.5  \eTD \eTR

But not how to put a caption on each page. Preferably, the caption
should be different for the first and for the rest of the pages. For
the first page, it should be "Title" and for subsequent pages it
should be "Title (continued)".

If it is not possible to have different captions for each pages, I can
still hack the code so it will work by making two different tables.

Thanks

Paul

K.I.S.S and TeX in one sentence must be a joke.

It's ony one line in cont-sys.tex and two lines of code in your
environment file to select the font. But you have to know the right
ones :)

Oh, no, completely wrong! With this hack, font switching (\it, \bf etc) does
not work anymore...
