[NTG-context] METAPOST -- specifying an unknown point coordinate by giving the angle from another known point
This isn't specifically a ConTeXt question, but via it I've run into a seemingly simple problem in METAPOST that I just can't solve. I'm trying to draw a parallelogram by specifying: (1) the length of sides parallel to the x-axis; (2) the total height of the figure; (3) one of the interior angles. This is how I'm trying to solve it: - % Draw a parallelogram, like so: % % z3z2 % +-+ ^ %/ /| % / / | % / / |10 units % /BL / | %+-+v % z0 z1 %<-> %5 units % %Interior angle BL = 87 degrees beginfig(1); z0 = origin;% bottom left z1 = (5,0); % bottom right y2 = y3 = 10; % shape is 10 units high x2 - x3 = x1 - x0; % top edge is the same length as bottom edge % We've completely specified z0 and z1; % We know that the top edge is the same length and angle as the bottom, but lies somewhere on y = 10; % all we have to do is specify one angle and we have a complete parallelogram. % % The following should work as it provides the following information: % the unit vector from z0 to z3 is at an angle 87 degrees anticlockwise from (0,0) -- (1,0). angle(z3-z0) = dir(87); endfig; end; This doesn't work; using the angle() function gives the error: Not implemented: angle(unknown pair). Strictly speaking, yes, z3 has an unknown x-coordinate at that time in execution. But I am told that METAPOST is declarative, so I would expect my line of code to mean: "set the x-coordinate of z3 such that angle(z3-z0) = dir(87)". AFAICS that provides all the needed information to draw the shape. So, is there another way I can do what I want without falling into low-level trig?

Re: [NTG-context] Margin terminology -- badly documented, undocumented, or misdocumented
Hi Hans,
Thanks for the reply -- and sorry for the rather grumpy way in which I posed
the question. The problem for me was this mysterious "width=middle",
"height=middle" -- this is fairly undocumented at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout . There is a mention of
"width=middle", but it's just followed by some code, most of which seems to
be irrelevant ("if cutspace == 0pt then cutspace = backspace; end"), and
there is no mention of "height=middle". I would be more than willing to
document this myself, but what is it that "width=middle" actually *does*?
And what does "middle" actually *mean* -- the middle of *what*?
James

Unfortunately the documentation at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layoutdoesn't correspond to the actual output I get. Nor does the 'documentation' at http://getfo.org/context_xml/page3.html , which the first page recommends. More, the two pages seem pretty contradictory. Consider my situation: I'm trying to set up an A4 page with the following margins (I use the term margin to mean the space from the edge of the physical paper to the edge of the body text area): top: 2.97cm bottom: 2.97cm left: 2.1cm right: 2.1cm For the moment, I don't care at all about header and footer space, nor notes in the margins; I'm just trying to get the above margins. However, with all conceivable combinations of commands at both of those pages, I've been unable to set anything like this up. Based on the getfo.org page, I should be able to set up these left and right margins with: \setuplayout [backspace=2.1cm, cutspace=2.1cm, width=middle, topspace=2.97cm, bottomspace=2.97cm, height=middle] \showframe \starttext \input tufte \stoptext - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 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 ___
