[NTG-context] 16-bit png
Hello,
I am having problems including 16-bit png files in ConTeXt. In the following
example, red.png is a 800x600 image of red pixels. The resulting test.pdf
shows a BLACK rectangle. (The same problem exists with real images.)
However, I can produce the desired result with my installation under
pdflatex...
$ cat test.tex
\starttext
\externalfigure[red][width=\textwidth]
\stoptext
$ file red.png
red.png: PNG image data, 800 x 600, 16-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
$ texexec test
$ cat test2.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{red}
\end{document}
$ pdflatex test2
My distribution (debian + texlive) uses
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
in both cases.
Does this have something to do with \pdfimagehicolor?
Thank you

There, fixed that.
That setting could go into the context core, though.

I am always surprised how many people ask a question,
guess the correct answer themselves, but don't actually
attempt to see if it works :-)

Thanks for the very rapid answer.
However, no, neither of the proposed solutions work.
1. Of course, I tried \pdfimagehicolor=1 without results before posting the
question. (I would NEVER think about asking for help without trying different
possibilities myself...)
2. \setupcolors[state=start] was also in my original file, but did not seem
to make a difference, so I posted a most simplified example.
What to do? I would think that there is something wrong with my configuration
(debian/unstable), however pdflatex works just fine.
Alan
(P.S. Why would one need to specify \pdfimagehicolor in any case; From a
user's point of view, shouldn't it just work transparently?)

Hi
Does adding \setupcolors[state=start] at the top of the context file help?
Hans, how about enabling colors by default in mkiv?

Re: [NTG-context] colors in pgf within context
Hello,
Another problem with PGF+ConTeXt is the handling of cmyk colors:
\usemodule[tikz]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definecolor[my_yellow][c=0,m=0.3,y=0.94,k=0]
\starttext
\startcolor[my_yellow]
Yellow text.
\stopcolor
\starttikzpicture
\fill[my_yellow] (0,0) circle(1);
\stoptikzpicture
\stoptext
CMYK colors work in ConTeXt but do not get passed correctly to PGF/TikZ.
A work-around is to transform to rgb :
\definecolor[my_yellow][r=0.98,g=0.698,b=0.09] % 250,178,23 #FAB217
This seems to be a documented bug; Perhaps it will be fixed someday...

Hi Aditya,
Thanks for the help -- I think I now see why there is such trouble with
colors in pgf and context. It looks like one can systematically
transform LaTeX-like PGF examples of \color into ConTeXt examples.
The reason why this came up is that I'm trying to go through Till
Tantau's Example for Karl's Students tutorial in the PGF/TikZ manual.
Has anyone managed to ConTeXt-ify that example?
I did that some time back while testing tikz. I will send that file as a
reply to this email, since I am not sure if it will go through the mailing
list because of its size.
The example features some \definecolor's which I just did away with
(sadly) by simply substituting their defining values for their
occurences. (This is unfortunate, but perhaps necessary until some
other mechanism is produced.) The problem is that the text box to the
right of the picture is supposed to be colored, and with rounded
corners. But the box is missing. Look at p. 20 of
The TikZ manual make a lot of uses of the xcolor syntax (e.g.
\color{red!20}). There is no equivalent ConTeXt syntax. You need to define
a color, say lightred, as follows
\definecolor[lightred][r=0.2]
For tikz key-value options, pgf works behind the scene to define
appropriate colors, so xcolor syntax works for them. So
\fill[fillcolor=red!20] will work as expected. However, when using \color
inside any box, you need to follow ConTeXt syntax. So \color[red!20] will
not work, you need to define a context color and then use that.
Hope that this clarifies some things.
Aditya

Re: [NTG-context] Fwd: (scientific) poster
I have to say that for poster stuff where you have to control visually the layout a GUI is not that bad. So now I'm using ConTeXt for text-based projects (documents, books) and Nodebox for visual related things (posters, presentations).

This doesn't really answer your question
but may be of some related interest to the mailing list.
I am quite fond of pfg/tikz as a drawing package
that works rather well with plain tex, latex and context.
Asymptote is a similar tool, but it seems to be less portable.
However, it appears on the other hand to be much more powerful for 3D.
Neverless, I am sharing with this context list an impressive tikz example

Re: [NTG-context] Texlive2008 and updating context
Yes, please, it is confusing. On the Wiki different instructions appear in several places (mkIV, minimals, TeXlive, debian...). It would be quite nice if somebody who understands this all could clean-up the instructions, in particular, structure the information in a clearer fashion. Thanks.

stick(s) out by this much on the right.
The manual is a bit cryptic concerning horizontal and vertical:
As an alternative for none, we can use horizontal and vertical.
Both commands have their spacing tuned for typesetting lists in

Re: [NTG-context] Plotting a graph of a function f, like f(x) = e^x, with MetaPost
Paul, Metapost can now perform calculations in double precision floating point. At this time, it is in the svn version and does not work yet as such integrated in ConTeXt (through mplib). Taco promises this for soon... The graph package is pretty clever, and I am working on proposals on how to extend/rewrite this taking advantage of the new metapost handling of large and small numbers. To plot a function, you can create a path, as in path p ; p := for i=0 upto 1000: hide (x := i/1000 ;) if (i0) -- fi (x,exp(x)) endfor ; gplot p ; One proposal will be to make this even easier with new macros.

I want to use that throughout my document. Of course I hit the first problem. Wanting to draw a “simple” function f like f(x) = e^x, seems hard to accomplish. I guess I should stress that MetaPost does not have a high accuracy so it might not be the best solution [5]. There seem to be quite a lot of solutions (mostly macros) on the Web for this problem so I am wondering if one of them is integrated in MetaFun. Here are some of my findings. 1. Reading about the graph package by John D. Hobby [2] and which is also included in ConTeXt [3]. Especially I liked the automatic coordinate systems. The package seems to only be able to plot graphs with data points saved in files. So one solution would be to manually create data files with data points of the relevant function. 2. There is an example in the Drexel Physics Wiki [4]. 3. Anthony Phan has also created some macros in his `mps` [5 (currently not accessible)]. 4. André Heck uses the macro packages `courbes` and `grille` from Jean-Michel Sarlat to show some nice examples in his tutorial »Learning Metapost by Doing« [6]. So what do you suggest?

Thanks for the explanation.
It is not too logical, however, to define a dictum or epigraph *before* the
start of a new section or chapter. An author does not really think this way. Of
course, it is logical to define a dictum or epigraph environment that can be
used as in:
\startchapter [title=Chapter title]
\startepigraph
\input ward
\stopepigraph
\stopchapter
It is indeed overkill to use a buffer as in your example. However, there may be
a very good reason to more closely tie the epigraph to the typesetting of the
chapter title. I could then see something like:
\startchapter [title={Chapter title},epigraph={\input ward}]
although I'm sure that the above (untested) syntax would cause problems
with \input... (and probably a \par would be needed somewhere).

[NTG-context] defineselector
Hi,
One can select between short and long figure captions
(for an index of figures and the figure display itself, respectively)
using a selector. The syntax is:
\defineselector [caption] [max=2,n=2] % alternate {short}{long} captions
\starttext
\placefigure [here] [fig:reference]
{\select{caption}
{short caption}
{long caption: bla, bla, bla.}
}
{\externalfigure [myfigure]}
...
\startchapter [title={Figure index}]
\setupselector [caption] [n=1]
\placelistoffigures [criterium=all]
\stopchapter
\stoptext
I find \select{caption} to be awkward
as the label caption is not typeset
(the convention of text between {}).
Should not the syntax be rather \select[caption]{short}{long}
or else \selectcaption{short}{long}?
What do the experts think?
Alan

Hi all,
to bring some traffic to the list I have a question where I hope even non
regulars send a answer. The ConTeXt package is huge and provides dozen of
commands but I guess many have *one* favorite command (maybe also
functionality).
As I started this thread I’ll present my favorite command which is
\donothing, it is a internal command and only a synonym for \empty but it’s
one reason why I prefer ConTeXt’s coding style (especially with the recent
changes in MkIV) over the unreadable LaTeX code.
Wolfgang
Not quite the same as \null:
\def\null {\hbox{}}
My (LaTeX) code used to always be riddled with \mbox{}
(somehow, I got into the habit of using this rather than \hbox{})
But this is not my favorite.
Believe it or not, I quite often make the error of typing '\startext'.
(Hans, don't think about adding this as a synonym - each time that I make this
mistake I am quite happy to get an error message... This is what I get for
typing and reading too fast!)
I do like unicode support.
However, what I like best about ConTeXt commands is consistency, where the
choice of syntax is constantly moving towards standardization. Often, when I
want to do something new, I just try what seems logical, using the very same
keywords as used elsewhere (when appropriate), and usually this just works!
Alan
P.S. I regret that ConTeXt and Mojca's \simplethesis command was not available
when I needed it!

You know \starttitle, it’s the unnumbered version of \startchapter.
Yes, of course, but \starttitle does not, by design, add an entry
to the TOC, nor a bookmark. And
\starttitle [title={Conclusions}]
\writetolist[chapter]{}{Conclusions}% works
\bookmark{Conclusions}% Does not work!
is less elegant than
\startchapter [number=no,incrementnumber=no,title={Conclusions}]
(but does have the advantage of suppressing the Chapter label.)
We have the following key for \setuphead:
- beforesection (called before \startchapter),
- insidesection (called after \startchapter) and
- aftersection (called after \stopchapter)
You suggest that I use insidesection={\placecontent\blank}
rather than after={\placecontent\blank}. OK, this works.
However, in both cases, the contents get placed after the above
\starttitle (or \startchapter) commands, something that one really does
not want. Alternately, adding \placecontent\blank everywhere else is
sloppy.
2. If I have:
\setuplabeltext [chapter=Chapter ] % with trailing space; blank by

The easiest way is to create a new heading for this purpose.
I do not really want to create new headings for this purpose,
if I can avoid it, and should be unnecessary.
The suggestion would be for specific instances of \startchapter etc.
to be able to take \setuphead keywords as local definitions.

Thank you,

Your example above would not print the word ducks at all.
I commonly use:
\def\Index#1{\index{#1}#1}
There are some \Index{ducks} in the zoo.
In ConTeXt, text to be typeset typically appears within {}.
Of course, you can then modify the definition to format the text as you
wish:
\def\Index#1{\index{#1}\sc #1}
I'm sure that there is a more clever way.
Note that the \index{} command appears *before* the word, not after.
Otherwise, the word might get placed at the end of a page and the index
point to the following page. I believe that the \index{} command takes
care to avoid the opposite case.

\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure
\stoppostponing
The text continues here without a paragraph break.
\stoptext
A few comments:
1. The \startpostponing...\stoppostponing is necessary,
although some other wrapper around the placefigure might also work.
2. The % at the end of the lines in the above examples is not necessary
unless one seeks to kill the spacing between {HERE}{AND HERE}.
3. One should preferably be using \startplacefigure\stopplacefigure
(rather than \placefigure). Besides being cleaner, as a bonus
one gets to use title={},list={} for the figure caption and
list of figure entry.
Should placefigure be fixed somehow so as to hide its paragraph
break itself?

Re: [NTG-context] placefigure adds break
Hello,
A follow-up on the solution
\startpostponing [+0]
\startplacefigure
…
\stopplacefigure
\stoppostponing
As a side effect, one then needs to be careful to surround
ALL placefigures with \startpostponing[+0]\stoppostponing,
even those that occur after a paragraph end
(where one is not concerned about adding a paragraph break),
else the floating figures may get placed out of order,
e.g. figure 4 before figure 3.
As this makes for somewhat sloppy tex files,
should not placefigure/table/other get FIXED
so as not to introduce a paragraph break?

I have been looking for a trick to place figures near their reference
in the text, without imposing a paragraph break.
This trick works (so thanks again to Aditya and Luigi):
\starttext
Some text is described \in{figure}[fig:reference].
\startpostponing[+0]
\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=fig:reference,
title={This figure gets placed somewhere near its reference.}]
\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure
\stoppostponing
The text continues here without a paragraph break.
\stoptext
A few comments:
1. The \startpostponing...\stoppostponing is necessary,
although some other wrapper around the placefigure might also work.
2. The % at the end of the lines in the above examples is not necessary
unless one seeks to kill the spacing between {HERE}{AND HERE}.
3. One should preferably be using \startplacefigure\stopplacefigure
(rather than \placefigure). Besides being cleaner, as a bonus
one gets to use title={},list={} for the figure caption and
list of figure entry.
Should placefigure be fixed somehow so as to hide its paragraph
break itself?

Counter settings are applied with the \setupnotation command.
So, this is a treasure hunt!
I tried
\setupnotation[footnote][way=bypage,numberconversion=set 2]
and this works, (I just corrected the wiki)
sort-of:
If one manages to get a footnote reference at the bottom of a page,
where there is no room to place the footnote, and there is at least one
footnote reference on the following page, this results in two successive
footnotes having the same reference number (or symbol)!
This is a bug.
What about \startfootnote \stopfootnote and \autoinsertnextspace ?

on \at{page}[ref] could return on ,

I am looking forward hearing from you, kind regards Willi Egger Secretary NTG ntg-secret...@ntg.nl I use Gvim for all editing, including all forms of TeX, columns submitted to my newspaper editors, programs (Tcl etc.) and emails. The virtue is I do not have to learn and relearn a new editor for each. And my custmizations such as F2 to justify each paragraph ragged right, are common for all. I even assign F keys for running pdftex or context on a file named book.tex (every book I work on is in a separate directory so all of them are called book.tex.) I have an F key for acroread book.pdf Just FYI. I doubt if I am the only one. cat book.tex ; context book ; zathura book.pdf ___ 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 ___

As far as I can see, it reads the .bib database and generates a .bbl file which then is read in by ConTeXt. Why do we need an external tool for this? Why does ConTeXt not read in the .bib database and directly save it as a Lua table? Because nobody has coded that part yet? This may not be as easy as you make it sound because quite a few heuristics go into parsing bibtex files (e.g., look at the way in which bibtex divides names into first name, last name, von-part, jr-part). Over the years, I have read and heard many complaints about bibtex and many announcements that something infinitely better is just around the corner, to be delivered in all its glory real soon now. For the time being, I don't see any real replacement, but I may be wrong. Do not forget that there are many databases and tools that more or less know how to deal with bibtex files. And many web sites can output bibtex data, more or less correctly. Of course, one could also consider using other standards, such as EndNote... but we would not want to do that, would we?

[NTG-context] verbatim text: \type, \tex and co.
Hello,
Can someone indicate how to typeset
$L_{α+β}$
as verbatim text?
(\arg{} doesn't help here...)
Furthermore, I suppose that typesetting Greek characters verbatim
depends also upon which \tt font is being used.

\setupbodyfont[dejavu]
\starttext
\starttyping
$L_{α+β}$
\stoptyping
\stoptext
Also, \type{$L_{α+β}$}
I thought that I saw that somewhere before! :)
