[NTG-context] Layers
Is there any issue with "stacking" layers on top of each other? What I want to do is create a newsletter nameplate consisting of a base layer containing a JPEG graphic of a logo, a partially-transparent layer above that to screen the graphic and a top layer containing the newsletter name in a large and fancy font ala' *The New York Times" & al. I've already created a nameplate in Inkscape and can simply place the resultant graphic but I'd like to do the whole thing in ConTeXt if I can as I could easily use the technique in other situations. I'll wikify any answers.

Re: [NTG-context] Draft version of document
Hi Roger,
Firstly: drafts are indeed the way to go. \completelistoffigures
places a complete list of figure *captions*, so that takes care of
that.
% No need to define a mode: you can simply enable it with
% \enablemode[draft]
% or
% context --mode=draft
\enablemode[draft]
\startmode[draft]
\completelistoffigures
\stopmode
Figure images, unlike figure captions, are not saved to a list. A
pity, as this makes it difficult to get the associated figure image
given a figure number (or figure label). I would do this:
(1) make it so you can call the figure image with
\externalfigure[img:fig:mylabel]. Use \useexternalfigure for this.
(2) then label the figure with [fig:mylabel]
(3) then simply manually make an entry in the figures section for each
figure label.
Perhaps some ConTeXt user more familiar with lists can provide a
better, list-based, solution?
\useexternalfigure[img:fig:pointy graph][pointy-graph.png]
\placefigure
[here]
[fig:pointy graph]
{caption of the pointy graph}
{\externalfigure[img:fig:pointy graph][width=4cm]}
\startmode[draft]
\section{Just the figures}
\in{Figure}[fig:pointy graph]
\externalfigure[img:fig:pointy graph]
\stopmode
If you want to automate this, you'll want something like this.
Untested and probably needs debugging first, but the table names are
correct:
\startluacode
-- we won't need the keys k, but still.
for k,v in pairs(structures.lists.ordered.float.figure) do
label_string = v.references.reference
-- `..` is Lua for string concatenation
image_string = "img" .. label_string
-- arguments to TeX commands:
-- get [stuff] in TeX with { 'stuff' } in Lua
-- get [stuff=bother] in TeX with { stuff = 'bother' } in Lua
-- get {stuff} in TeX with 'stuff' in Lua
context.in("Figure", { label_string })
context.externalfigure( { image_string } )
end
\stopluacode
I have made this reply long because I lack the time to make it short.
Cheers,
Sietse

Thank you Marco. Another very useful tool for me. I realize now that many
things with labels can be used as anchors for references, and I'm still a bit
surprised that a delimited text with a label cannot be used that way.
Anyway, your and Wolfgang Schuster's advice give me all I need on this point.
Kind regards,
Robert Blackstone
