Re: [NTG-context] makeupwidth in externalfigure yields invalid escape sequence

The \externalfigure commands passes the values of the width/height keys to Lua which can’t handle relative values. When you want to dimension to Lua they have to be in the form “10pt”, 5cm” or “1200” (dimension without units are in scaled points), to convert a relative (e.g. \textwidth) in a absolute value (e.g. 12pt) you can use the \dimexpr command. \externalfigure[…][width=\the\dimexpr.3\textwidth\relax] Wolfgang ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] makeupwidth in externalfigure yields invalid escape sequence
Hi, Thanks for the quick responses. The \externalfigure commands passes the values of the width/height keys to Lua which can’t handle relative values [...] to convert a relative (e.g. \textwidth) in a absolute value (e.g. 12pt) you can use the \dimexpr command. \externalfigure[…][width=\the\dimexpr.3\textwidth\relax] I'm seem to be not educated enough about dos and don'ts: To me it seemed mandatory to use relative sizes as I might have to change the layout of my document (*). So, do I get it right that the idea of this change is to stick to a rigid A4 setting (i.e. all figures are e.g. of width 5 cm) and then simply change the print out size to A5: \setuppapersize[A4][A5] A quick yes, keep it rigid or no, do it adaptively would be enough to get me on track (in case I am not telling bull). I'll adapt my doc accordingly. Cheers, Andreas (*) I am currently working on a document, which Iis going through assessment in A4 and very likely published in A5 ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] MetaPost Animations
Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for the explanation and the correction of the code. It works nicely. It also taught me some other things too. I'd like to ask you one more thing. When you update the animation module, would you please concern the location of the menu? I think that it is better to put it at the bottom center of the animation frame in default? Currently, it is located slightly left from the center. Thanks again.

This is a bug in context which adds a space for each symbol in a fieldstack (the mechanism which is used to create the animation and which is documented in the metafun manual). I reported it a few days ago on the dev list and hope Hans will fix it in the next beta.
