Re: [NTG-context] gnuplot module broken
Dear Hans,
please consider the following example in MKII:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startMPextensions
a := \abc;
color b;
b := \MPcolor{currentcolor};
\stopMPextensions
\startuseMPgraphic{bla}
fill fullcircle scaled a withcolor b;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\def\abc{3cm}\color[blue]{\useMPgraphic{bla}}
% Nice small black circle
\def\abc{1cm}\useMPgraphic{bla}
\stoptext
I still don't know how to reproduce this in MKIV. I tried with
MPdefinitions as you suggested, but this only works the first time
when it is used. The following example creates two equal circles
instead of two different ones:
\starttext
\startMPdefinitions
a := \abc;
color b;
b := \MPcolor{currentcolor};
\stopMPdefinitions
\startuseMPgraphic{bla}
fill fullcircle scaled a withcolor b;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\def\abc{3cm}\color[blue]{\useMPgraphic{bla}}
% I want a black 1cm circle here
\def\abc{1cm}\useMPgraphic{bla}
\stoptext
Unless MKII is more powerful than MKIV: how can I achieve the same
functionality in MKIV as I did in MKII?
Thank you,
Mojca

Hi Mojca et al.
todays beta broke the gnuplot module. This is probably due to the
changes in the MP inclusion mechanism.
\usemodule [gnuplot]

\stoptext
Here's an almost minimal example:
\def\abc{1cm}
\startMPextensions
a := \abc;
color b;
b := \MPcolor{currentcolor};
\stopMPextensions
\def\abc{3cm}
\starttext
\startcolor[blue]
\startMPcode
fill fullcircle scaled a withcolor b;
\stopMPcode
\stopcolor
\stoptext
The old ConTeXt draws a blue circle with diameter 3cm and the new
ConTeXt draws a black circle with diameter 1cm. Which one is right?
From a recent message by Hans:
- add mp functionality (immediate expansion)
It seems that ConTeXt now parses everything inside MPextensions
earlier than it did before and I don't have the slightest idea how to
account for this in the module without a major rewrite. In case that
Hans wants to keep the new functionality, I either need [quite some]
help with the module or I'll simply stick to TeX Live 2012 for the
foreseeable future ;)
For the (not texlive) module use:
\defineMPinstance[gnuplot]
[format=metafun,
extensions=yes,
initializations=yes,
method=double]
\startMPdefinitions[gnuplot] ...
and then use the gnuplot instance. This not only isolates the code, but also
gives you floats. It also means that if someone crashes the gnuplot
instance, the rest still keeps running.
Definitions are per instance and are delayed i.e. passed via the tex end
when they get expanded.
The reason for extensions being immediate (at least for now) is that it was
more easy to implement as extensions meant for mp extensions and can be for
all instances of specific (sets) of instances.
Sorry for the changes but as we have multiple instances, scale vs double and
maybe more coming it's probably worth the trouble.

[NTG-context] \bTD\numexpr\currentTABLErow\minusone\relax\eTD
Hello, I naively tried using \bTD\numexpr\currentTABLErow\minusone\relax\dTD in a TABLE. As I do not master even simple calculations under TeX, I do not see what I am missing in order to label TABLE rows, starting from 0? (Row 1 is a heading, set off by \bTABLEhead\eTABLEhead, which is why I am looking to subtract 1 from \currentTABLErow, but this does not matter of course. But perhaps the addressing of TABLE rows, including within \setupTABLE, should or could handle this situation? This is a secondary question to think about...)

[NTG-context] Is fine-grained grid control possible?
I asked a question on tex.stackoverflow, and it was suggested ConTeXt could help and that I should repost my question here. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/108850/is-fine-grained-grid-control-possible I want to make a variety of checklists which are essentially based on a grid layout. I care about having fine-grained control over the exact placement of labels and boxes. I do not care about paragraphs, hypenation, equations, or anything like that which I know TeX is very good at. Is ConTeX a good fit for my needs? How could I do it? I've already though about Tikz and PGF but I don't think they give me enough fine-grained control. If I fail to find a way to solve my problem using TeX I will probably explore SVG and PostScript. Here are some examples of the kind of thing I would like to do that I pulled from an image search for checklist * https://studenttechportfolio.wikispaces.com/file/view/checklist.png/34343465/checklist.png * http://checklisttemplate911.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/checklist-template12.jpg * http://img.docstoccdn.com/thumb/orig/72289360.png * http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=88940stc=1 * http://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/shop/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/conference-checklist.jpg * http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-piQobSY-8Mw/Tcihq580IgI/AgE/Fd0AQD1e69Y/s1600/Operator_Page_1.jpg * http://www.dbh.govt.nz/UserFiles/Image/Publications/building/weathertightness/remediation-checklist-2.gif * http://spxcooling.com/images/M92-1447C-s.jpg Thanks, Tom ___ 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 ___

Thank you very much.
I hope that the module in
https://github.com/mojca/context-gnuplot/
is hotfixed now, thanks to Marco's extensive support. If anyone is
willing to do a couple more basic tests, I would be grateful. I plan
to upload this version to CTAN to get it into TeX Live and our
distribution.
Apart from that, Marco is working on a heavily modified version of the
module (for MKVI). Once that one is tested, we'll upload it as well,
but this patch is just to make the module usable again.
I'm very sorry that it took me so long.

Re: [NTG-context] Cumulating numbered lists

“prefix=no” does not work.
I am also puzzled that “repeat” must be entered at the higher levels if it
effectively means “repeat higher-level number at lower levels, to produce
e.g. 1.a.4” (quoting the wiki).

This makes me believe that I will eventually HAVE to purchase (and by purchase I really mean re-purchase) the OTF versions in order to use my Lucida fonts. This is a bit discouraging. The problem is that in mkiv we make a virtual unicode font on the fly and for that we need vectors and lucida has a bad history: when I started supporting it, we coul duse the original BH / YY vectors but when tug took over, these were dropped in favor of some latex encoding. So, in mkii it does work, but you need the original tfm files. In mkiv we need special vectors as well because lucida's internal mapping is still non-tex and someone has to do all that checking. Now, given that we have proper otf fonts (relatively cheap for a font as tug paid for conversion) it makes no sense in mkiv to spent time on the old fonts (1: I don't use them, 2: I have no fun in doing that, 3: Nor time, 4: we have an alternative). Keep in mind that a virtual type1 based lucida is never as good and complete as the newer otf. Concerning 'repurchase' .. the lucida set is a bargain, definitely if you compare it to other fonts in that quantities. Of course you can also consider xits, pagella, termes etc Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ 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] Again: LuaTeX error: invalid escape sequence near '\i'
The following two commands seem to do the same: \defineexpandable\... \def\... And this two also do the same: \define\... \unexpanded\def\... \def is a low-level-command and shouldn't be used. Right?

Re: [NTG-context] Again: LuaTeX error: invalid escape sequence near '\i'
In last year Context this worked:
\define\imagepath {/home/janis/images}
\externalfigure[\imagepath/test.jpg]
Now this change is necesarry:
\defineexpandble\imagepath {/home/janis/images}
Where do the change come from: Context, Tex or Luatex? Is
there a genereal change which we have to take care off?
Last year I made a book with a lot of programming in Context
and I would like to use the code for the next book.
Regards
Janis

at some point we decided to make \define generate an unexpandable
command (which is what one wants in most cases)
so, it's just the \define command (and in your case you could as well
use \def but it's then best to use \ImagePath as one never knows if
\imagepath isn't some internal command
(of course you can also use \setupexternfigures)

Re: [NTG-context] Again: LuaTeX error: invalid escape sequence near '\i'
btw, the \i that lua reports is a side effect of lua being more strict in escaping characters, so that might be a compatibility issue, although can argue that the old lua behaviour was a buglet Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ 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 ___
