Re: [NTG-context] context minimals installation
Due the differences between csh and bash I argued a bit with system variables set by setuptex. That's my .login setenv TEXROOT /home/diego/tex setenv TEXPATH /home/diego/tex setenv TEXOS texmf-freebsd setenv TEXMFOS /home/diego/tex/texmf-freebsd setenv PATH /home/diego/tex/texmf-freebsd/bin:$PATH setenv TEXMFCACHE /home/diego/tex/texmf-cache and until now all works fine. May be TEXMFLOCAL and OSFONTDIR are missed, but I ask... are all those variables set by setuptex still needed?

Many thanks Wolfgang, your sample does the goal.
I'll try it in my booklet.
Could be interesting for the wiki?

[NTG-context] Howto float text around an image on layer (in a frame, inside standardmakeup)?
Hello,
hopefully this is the last dumb question, cause the CD is nearing it's end an
will be prepared for printing soon ;-)
How can I float text around a picture if I place them on a layer?
What I want to achieve is something like this:
ppp
ppp
...
but typeset onto a layer to position it at my will ...
But I can't get the text flow around the graphic. Here is a minimal example:
-
\definelayer[test]
\startbuffer[text]
\placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}}
\input tufte
\stopbuffer
\setlayerframed[test]
[x=.5\paperwidth,y=2em,location=bottom]
[width=0.8\textwidth,height=0.3\textheight,align=normal]
{\getbuffer[text]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=test]
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext
-
and the result can be seen in the attached PDF.
The same happens inside a standardmakeup
-
\startbuffer[text]
\placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}}
\input tufte
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
\getbuffer[text]
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext
-
and inside a framedtext
-
\startbuffer[text]
\placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}}
\input tufte
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\startframedtext[width=0.8\textwidth]
\getbuffer[text]
\stopframedtext
\stoptext
-
Neither the mailinglist, nor the wiki or the documentation have given me any
clue, what to change or where to look further ...
Is there another way to flow text around an image? The image has a fixed
position (top left corner of the text) so it don't has to be a float at all.
Thank you for all your help
Uwe

Yes, it is called \part :)
Actually, \part does not work out of the box, you need to do
\setuphead[part][placehead=yes]
\starttext
\part {Something important}
\input tufte

Hans, why is \part defined with placehead=no?

OK, this explains it. SciTE is not reading your ~/.bashrc, only terminal is.

It should be ~/.bashrc (unless you are using another shell than bash), you need to "source ~/.bashrc" to get immediate effect in the current shell session.

You really need to be more specific. Are you sure you relaunched bash
after editing .bashrc? Bash only reads the configuration file once, at
startup, so if you simply edited it you would have missed the change.
Then you should have an environment variable called TEXROOT; check that
"echo $TEXROOT" returns /opt/context or /opt/context/tex or something
like that. If so, you should be able to make the formats ("texexec
--make --all" for Mark II, "context --make --all" for Mark IV).

sorry for the noise. i used 'context --make' instead of my own batch
files (which includes a 'mktexlsr').
i was testing the new beta in hope it was fixing one of my current problems.

should be ok if you so it in sequence
that kind of backend stuff is kind of long term dev in luatex, we're
experimenting with things but this year you will not see such an
interface; some internals need to be changed/cleaned up etc etc

just use the obj interface of context then (see spec-tpd for usage, obj
references and such)

[NTG-context] pdfobj runtime question
hi,
i'm currently struggling with some basic runtime problems in luatex.
are there any rules for directly writing a pdf object? in context this
is only done in the tex part.
especially what pitfalls are there, if you do it in the lua part of the
code ( tex.sprint(tex.ctxcatcodes,"\\immediate\\pdfobj{}")) ) and use
"\the\pdflastobj" (tex or lua) to reference that object?
and what must be done to make sure that things are done immediatly (in
lua), so that one ore more switches between lua<-->tex always uses the
right obj number? i already noticed that you have to use separated lua
code for 'creation' and 'reference' (different chunks).
any help welcome.
regards, peter

I fetched SVN trunk sources and built it, the error has gone, but the
Arabic text stil broken; letters run from left to right, but English is
mirrored as expected. See the attached PDF.
