Hi, I'm looking into typesetting conversion tables, reference charts, scales and rulers in ConTeXt, and am wondering if anyone has done this or might have suggestions / pointers.
For instance, a Tap-Drill chart. Some examples: https://templatelab.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/tap-drill-chart-13.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20180219112507id_/https://www.starrett.com/docs/educational/decimal-equivalent-card---bulletin-1317.pdf https://www.imperialsupplies.com/pdf/I_DrillSizeDecimalEquivalent&TapDrillChart.pdf https://basstool.com/pdf/literature/customer/tapdrillchart.pdf Somewhat related, typesetting a ruler, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=ruler+scale+inch+mm&ia=web I found some interesting tips here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/15157/how-to-make-a-ruler which pointed to: https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/misc specifically this file typesets some nice rulers: https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/misc/ruler.tex Aditya posted some ConTeXt on that stackexchange page: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/15185 Checking to see if anything else might be out there. Basically, I'm looking to typeset conversion charts, scales, etc for use in the machine shop and lab.
