The only problem with povray is that it is quite aged and to my knowledge
no longer in development at least the Mac side!

Thanks. A pitty that you will not be there, but there will be more 
conferences, so maybe a next time.


Concerning the conference: there are tutorials and qa sessions, so if 
anyone attending has specific questions of wishes, let them know and 
they might serve as templates. Of course it has to be reasonable, not 'i 
want a three dimensional table mechanism' and such.

the reverse also applies, i.e. most developers are over here so it would 
mean a lot of traveling


one advantage of europe is that we can choose relatively affordable 
accomodation so on top of travel expenses the costs are bearable


it also depends on interest ... i think that idris still wants to have a 
conference in Colorado one time (when his fight with fires and floods 
have stopped)

Well, if I am able to finish what I intended to do, my talk at TUG 2013 
will be about 3D cabinet layout; so not quite a table, but somewhat 
close, no? ;).

Seriously, though, I went looking for this information and wasn't able 
to find it.  What is the current state of affairs of tie-in between 
ConTeXt and Aymptote?  Is there any?  Or is it best to create a 
standalone .eps with Asymptote and then include it into the ConTeXt 
document?

Thanks.

 Do you mean something like

 ?

 It's better to create a separate pdf qith asymptote: mkiv should be able
to insert it without loss of informations.
The filter module is a general mechanism to use external programs with
mkiv, so I think it's possible
to embed a source asy and (with some macros) include the pdf (perhaps in
two pass)  .

Actually, I am just hoping to get the skeleton line drawing part working 
(for the inside boxes or carcasses as they are sometimes known in the 
kitchen design business).  My focus is on the workflow and is a 
follow-up to my YAWN talk at TUG last year.  Renderings will be beyond 
my capabilities at this point, although I will give povray a look.

Thanks Luigi and Alan.

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] OT: Putting a context to the 2013 ConTeXt Meeting location

2013-09-18 Thread Pavneet Arora
I am so disappointed that I cannot attend the upcoming ConTeXt meeting 
in Brejlov, but as I type this I am remembering vividly the hospitality 
and affection shown by all at the 2010 meeting, especially Pavel's 
father, to this tee-totalling vegetarian---not something that lands up 
at the Brejlov Inn too often, I imagine!

The reason for my absence this year is that I will be heading to India 
shortly to conduct what is known as antim yatra (final journey) in 
Hindi for my mother; I'll leave the details of what that implies to 
those who wish to search on DuckDuckGo ;).

Anyway that is strictly an aside to this post.  You'll have to forgive 
me if I am feeling sentimental, but Prague does, as it has throughout 
its history, enter one's soul.  To walk through its streets is to be 
smitten by it for life.  Recently I picked up a book that I would like 
to share as it may help provide a context to those travelling through 
Prague on their way to Brejlov.

Prague:  Capital of the Twentieth Century
A Surrealist History
by Derek Sayer

All the best to those who are attending.  I am envious!

Warm regards.
