Use \framed for multiline labels. Infact, what I ususally do is
\forceMPTEXcheck{LABEL}
\startMPinclusions
vardef [EMAIL PROTECTED](expr s, p)= [EMAIL
PROTECTED](textext("\framed[width=3cm,align=middle,frame=off,autowidth=force,
strut=on]{" & s & "}"),p)
enddef ;
\stopMPinclusions
and then I can simply use
LABEL.bot("A big huge label that spans multiple lines", origin)
or
LABEL.bot("short",center)
It can be made more efficient using the new sometxt feature. But I do
not understand the sometxt interaction completely.

remember, anything inside btex...etex or textext() is just a picture.
So, you can do
picture p; p := textext("some label");
p := p rotatedaround (center, angle) ;
label.llft(p,center) ;
etc..

Firstly use \textext("string") instead of btex ... etex (assuming you
have a uptodate context).
For alignment, I find it easiest to use \framed. So in your case
\framed[align=normal,width=1,5cm,font(forgot the switch)=\ssxx]{etc}

[NTG-context] Metapost label alignment etc.
Dear knights,
I spent a few hours today with MetaPost and MetaFun, my first serious stab
at Meta in many years, so I'm a virtual newbie (used PSTricks back in the
LaTeX days). I am trying to basically duplicate the attached pdf graphic
and need help with the following:
1. This code is pretty naive; how can I make it more efficient? Eg, can I
make a global "scaled 1cm" declaration instead of repeating it so many
times?
2. ConTeXt's alignment mechanism apparently does not work in MetaPost
(alignment is commented); is there a workaround? ragged left needed for
some labels.
3. What is the most efficient way to get labels to follow the diagonals as
in the attached pdf?
Any tips/trick will be appreciated!

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt + asymptote
> In regard to the remark I saw posted about "monster eps" files That was from me. The size was one issue and probably, as you say, disappears in the size of the final pdf file (I didn't test it extensively but I think that happened). However, a related issue to the size is that ConTeXt parses the metapost output inline, doable since metapost puts out such a restricted subset of postscript. So it is easy (at least for tex wizards!) to integrate metapost with ConTeXt (i.e. for inline metapost code, like the asymptote environment in latex). The asymptote eps files, because of including fonts and using pstricks, are full postscript and would be harder to parse. > We will need to replace pstricks (which is used only for rotating text) > There is a rotate.tex package in dvips but it would have to be > modified to typeset at arbitrary angles... Won't pstricks eventually have to go when asymptote produces pdf directly? Hmm, I wonder how metapost does the rotating. Actually, here's a test: beginfig(1) draw thelabel(btex hello etex, origin) rotated 70; endfig; end produces this metapost eps file: %!PS %%BoundingBox: -7 -11 7 11 %%HiResBoundingBox: -6.75279 -10.8051 6.75278 10.80508 %%Creator: MetaPost 0.901 %%CreationDate: 2006.06.29:2102 %%Pages: 1 %*Font: cmr10 9.96265 9.96265 65:912 %%BeginProlog %%EndProlog %%Page: 1 1 gsave [0.34203 0.9397 -0.9397 0.34203 -0.2515 -10.8051 ] concat 0 0 moveto (hello) cmr10 9.96265 fshow grestore showpage %%EOF So it uses raw postscript to make an affine coordinate transform and avoids using an external tex/latex package. The resulting postscript is nice for parsing. > We could use epsf to include PostScript figures or else the miniltx > package. I see from some posts that some ConTeXt users are thinking > of using \epsfbox instead of \includegraphics. Any preferences here? That also was me. I have almost no experience of LaTeX and have always used \epsfbox from plain TeX days. But that may just be a bad habit or a preference for the simplicity of \epsfbox. > Another issue I would be happy to discuss sometime is the need for > implicit equation solving. I don't know if I can make a good case for it. But the declarative/implicit style matches how I think about drawing technical figures (perhaps because the feature exists!): specify a bunch of constraints and let the computer figure it out. But it's probably a lot of work to implement, not least because it would require a new operator.

[NTG-context] Greek hyphenation patterns
A few weeks ago, I looked at Context, because I wanted utf-8 hyphenation patterns for ancient Greek, but then I saw that the patterns shipped with Context have serious bugs. I had hoped to patch ctxtools, but the required changes went beyond my knowledge of Ruby. I recently posted a Perl script to the xetex mailing list that should perform the conversion to utf-8 correctly. I would be happy to modify the script to make the output more useful to Context users, but I don't use Context myself. Feedback is welcome. The essential problem with the patterns shipped with Context is that it is the result of a simple conversion, but the hyphenation rules in Greek are based on the definition of vowels and consonants, which changes in utf-8. The original 8-bit patterns of Dimitrios Filippou depend on the fact that in the Babel encoding accents come before the vowel (except for iota subscript), whereas in Unicode they are either combined with the vowel or come after it, depending on whether you use precomposed characters or not. -- Peter Heslin (http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin) ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Thanks! All combinations of leftmargindistance, rightmargindistance and
distance seems to give the expected results.
What is the difference between distance and columndistance?
I thought the one was just a synonym for the other, but now I see, that you
treat them differently. And indeed, the result is different:
\starttext

If I change the line
\advance\!!dimena-\tbltblcolumndistance
to
\dorecurse{\numexpr\maximumcol-1\relax}{%
\advance\!!dimena-\tbltblcolumndistance}%
it seems to work better...

This definitely looks better. Can there be a setting for
\setuparrowextension (or something) so that the default can be
changed.

I agree. To me,
\xrightarrow[setting]{below}{top}
makes most sense. It is not same as ams syntax, but that does not
matter too much. Maybe there can be a switch to enable ams type of
syntax, but that will make things too messy, I guess.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt + asymptote
In regard to adding support for ConTeXt or plain TeX to Asymptote, it
should be no problem to do this, but perhaps someone on this list can help
provide some preliminary information, particularly regarding item 1 below
on how best to rotate text at an arbitrary angle. Also, since I am not sure
what the precise planned use of a plain tex/ConTeXt engine here is, it isn't
clear to me whether the miniltx solution below would be an acceptable solution.
Perhaps someone can also explain why so many context users are interested in
this feature? Why exactly can't they let Asymptote do its typesetting with
latex behind the scenes and then import the resulting ps or pdf files in
context? Is the issue just that latex might not be installed? If so, the
miniltx style file (which appears to be part of plain tex) seems like a
viable and simple solution.
In regard to the remark I saw posted about "monster eps" files, use the
-aZ option and you will see that Asymptote output files are as compact as
those of MetaPost. If you want tex labels, you have to process MetaPost output
through dvips, etc. Asymptote simply does this automatically, perhaps giving
some users the illusion that Asymptote files are bigger. In other words, you
should compare the final postscript files that MetaPost produces, not the
intermediate ones (I recall that there is a MetaPost command for running
MetaPost output through dvips too).
Another issue I would be happy to discuss sometime is the need for implicit
equation solving. We could add it, given an appropriate syntax, but the
majority of uses I have seen for it are covered by the extension function
in math.asy. I find the latter more explicit and less confusing to new
users. But we could be persuaded to add something similar if someone can
justify the need. Asymptote already includes an explicit linear solver that
uses LU decomposition.
Anyway here are the two features we would need from a plain tex/ConTeXt engine:
1. We will need to replace pstricks (which is used only for rotating text)
with PostScript or PDF \special commands. There is a rotate.tex package in
dvips but it would have to be modified to typeset at arbitrary angles...
2. We could use epsf to include PostScript figures or else the miniltx
package. I see from some posts that some ConTeXt users are thinking
of using \epsfbox instead of \includegraphics. Any preferences here?
Alternatively, here is the miniltx solution, which would be trivial to
provide support for in an upcoming release of Asymptote:
Here's an example:
asy -k venn
Edit venn_.tex to look like this (then tex+dvips):
\input miniltx
\input graphicx
\input pstricks
\newbox\ASYbox
\newdimen\ASYdimen
\def\ASYbase#1#2{\setbox\ASYbox=\hbox{#1}\ASYdimen=\ht\ASYbox%
\setbox\ASYbox=\hbox{#2}\lower\ASYdimen\box\ASYbox}
\def\ASYalign(#1,#2)(#3,#4)#5#6{%

\rput[lB]{#5}(#1,#2){\ASYdimen=\ht\ASYbox%
\advance\ASYdimen by\dp\ASYbox\kern#3\wd\ASYbox\raise#4\ASYdimen\box\ASYbox}}
\def\ASYscale(#1,#2)(#3,#4)(#5,#6)#7#8{%
\ASYalign(#1,#2)(#3,#4){#7}{\scalebox{#5}[#6]{#8}}}%
\psset{unit=1pt}

It was created as an alternative version of the Kurier typeface, which was designed in 1975 for a diploma in typeface design at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Roman Tomaszewski. Kurier was designed for linotype typesetting of newspapers and similar periodicals. The Iwona fonts are an alternative version of the Kurier fonts. The difference lies in the absence of ink traps which typify the Kurier font. This distribution contains a significantly extended set of characters covering the following modern alphabets: latin (including Vietnamese), cyrillic and greek as well as a number of additional symbols (including mathematical symbols). The fonts are prepared in Type 1 and OpenType formats. For use with TeX the following encoding files have been prepared: T1 (ec), T2 (abc), and OT2 -- cirilic, T5 (Vietnamese), OT4, QX, texansi and nonstandard (IL2 for the Czech fonts), as well as supporting macros and files defining fonts for LaTeX. The doc/fonts/iwona folder contains examples for plain TeX as well as for LaTeX and an example of typesetting mathematics.

The result was presented with other Polish typefaces at the ATypI conference in Warsaw in 1975. Kurier was intended for linotype typesetting of newspapers and similar periodicals. The design goals included resistance to technological processes destructive to the letter shapes. As a result, amongst others, the typeface distinguishes itself through intra- and extra-letter white spaces as well as ink traps at cross-sections of some elements constituting the characters.

[NTG-context] I think that I need professional help... :-)
I have been looking at what I have left to accomplish before my classes begin in the fall, and I am realizing that I am running out of time that I can afford to spend learning more about ConTeXt. However, I would really like to give ConTeXt a fair shake, because I believe that it might be what I need for the future. I would also like to take Hans's good advice about setting up some basic page layouts and then working on the structure of my book in the process of converting it. But before I commit to the conversion, however, I need to know for certain that ConTeXt can handle the page layouts that I need. I need to duplicate (at least roughly) the three major page layouts that appear in my published text "Six Ideas That Shaped Physics": a two- page spread that opens each chapter, the chapter body style, and a two-column layout for homework problems at the end of the chapter. In the thread entitled "Newbie questions" on this list, I have been attempting to address the second of these three layouts. That layout is almost done, except for finding a workaround for a possible bug, and the others should be somewhat easier, though still will involve some work. I think that I can spring loose up to a few hundred dollars from my departmental budget to pay a consultant to help me finish setting up these page layouts so that I can focus on the writing issues. Would anyone on the list be interested in being hired to work on these layouts? If so, please contact me off-list, and I will describe the layouts I need in more detail and ask for a bid.

Sorry, no. The additional feature that I need is to be able to extend
the horizontal line over the margin region as well as the text
region, and put the page number (outer-justified) at the outer edge
of the margin region. The code that I attached to the previous
message does that, but suffers from the superimposed headers problem.
But I appreciate your effort!
Best wishes, Tom

Thanks. I installed it and it works. Witness the examples below.
Will this be installed in next ConTeXt versions? I would be grateful.
One question of naming:
I think "none" is a better descriptive name then "disable"
\leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{xyz} "no" comes out to the
left}
\leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{\hfil xyz} "no+hfil" comes
out in the middle}
\leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{\hfil xyz\hfil} "no+hfil
+hfil" comes out left of the middle}
\leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=none]{xyz} "none" comes out to
the left}
\leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=none]{\hfil xyz} "none+hfil"
comes out to the right}
\leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=none]{\hfil xyz\hfil} "none+hfil

I've uploaded a new version to contextgarden. It fixes three bugs:
* fix \type{\normalauthor} and \type{\normalshortauthor} spacing
* do not typeset empty arguments to \type{\typesetapublication}
* add \type{symbol=none} to \type{\setuplist} in unnumbered

Re: [NTG-context] Still font issues with I-Installer Mac OSX
I did some more digging around in my system.
Previously I used Darwinports TeTeX 3.0 which installs in
/opt/local/
I deinstalled and deleted the old tetex distro, but found a texmf in
~/Library. I am not sure if this directory was created by the old tetex
installation or from I-installer.
Would this cause issues with the updater?
Regards,
Frank

hm, this is not the context way, two equal kind of contents and then one
of them in [], maybe
\def\xrightarrow{\doifnextcharelse[\noxrightarrow\doxrightarrow}
\def\xleftarrow {\doifnextcharelse[\noxleftarrow\doxleftarrow}
\def\doxrightarrow{\dodoublegroupempty\dodoxrightarrow}
\def\doxleftarrow {\dodoublegroupempty\dodoxleftarrow }
\def\noxrightarrow[#1]{\dodoublegroupempty\dodoxrightarrow{#1}}
\def\noxleftarrow [#1]{\dodoublegroupempty\dodoxleftarrow {#1}}
which accepts
\xrightarrow{x}{y}
\xrightarrow{x}
\xrightarrow{}{y}
\xrightarrow[x]{y}
etc, actyally, we should then also accept
\xrightarrow[x][y]
but more interesting is to use the optional arg for tuning purposes
\if0#1\else\mkern#1mu\fi
test, does a \mkern0mu hurt?

I'm not sure what the meaning is of the context:ver:2005.01.31
Maybe not all of ConTeXt is updated by the updater on my system?

since dvipdfmx supports them, most features are supported (not the position

Perhaps it syntax should be identical to amsmath: no brackets
and two required arguments. It is what is expected anyway.
\def\xrightarrow#1#2{\mathrel
{{\domthxarr0359\rightarrowfill{#1}{#2
I assume amsmath has a few others as well, for double arrows and such.
Can you post those defs as well? Then we can move the whole definition
into math-ext.tex for the new release
