[NTG-context] Rotating a label in Metapost

[David Arnold]

All,
I have a horizontal axis with tick marks. I'd like to label the tick 
marks with their numerical values, but I'd like to rotate the numerical 
label 90 degrees clockwise.

Any suggestions?

[NTG-context] centering framed boxes

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear gang,

I need a way to overlay four framed boxes so that each inner box is exactly in 
the center of its respective outer box. So far I have the following, but 
careful inspection will show that the boxes are not precisely centered with 
respect to each other. I could go on by trial and error but I'm sure there is 
a direct way to do this.

The text should also be precisely centered between frames.

Thank you in advance!
Idris

RE: [NTG-context] Hanging punctuation again.

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Hi John,

Isn't [thanh] obsolete? See hand-def.tex for details: I think you want 
[normal], which hangs puntuation ([pure]), the Latin alphabet ([alpha]), and 
the rest of ascii characters ([extended]). Then you get full hanging. I tested 
palatino and the following works here:

===
\setupoutput[pdftex]%

\usetypescriptfile[type-enc]
\usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [normal]
\usetypescript [adobekb] [8r]
\usetypescript [palatino][8r]
\setupalign[hanging] % NOTE no second argument
\setupbodyfont [palatino,12pt]

\showframe
\starttext

   \dorecurse{40}{lots of hy\-phen\-a\-tion\hyphen\ }
   \blank
   \dorecurse{40}{testing, test; }


\stoptext
===

Best

[NTG-context] Hanging punctuation again.

Is the  the following kosher?

  \usetypescript [adobekb] [8r]
  \usetypescript [palatino][8r]

I want optical alignment for all body text.

Hi,
I think the point is to use a \cr after each line of aligned text in \cases.
On my installation the following works fine:
\usemodule[amsl]
\starttext
\startformula
 {\bf f(x)} =
 \cases{
   \sum_{x=1}^n x  &\quad if I am false \cr
   \displaystyle % just to see the difference
   \sum_{x=1}^n x^2&\quad \text{if I am true} \cr
 }
\stopformula
\stoptext
Note that I added a \quad  after each "&" in order to have a little 
more space: however this is not essential.

Best regards: OK

Hmm. It seems like a reasonable starting point, but I'll admit this is

Hi,
I  can code the cycle in ConTeXt,but it's too ugly and I will try to improve it.
here is my code:

\starttext
\placeformula
\startformula
\matrix{A+B&{\Delta G_1\atop\rightleftharpoons}&AB\cr
\Delta G_3\!\!\upharpoonleft\!\downharpoonright&&
\upharpoonleft\!\downharpoonright\!\!\Delta G_4\cr
A'+B&{\rightleftharpoons\atop\Delta G_2}&A'B\cr}
\stopformula
\stoptext

There is a similar example in "The TeXbook"(example 18.46).
You can try the follow code:

$$\def\normalbaselines{\baselineskip20pt
\lineskip3pt \lineskiplimit3pt }
\def\mapright#1{\smash{
\mathop{\longrightarrow}\limits^{#1}}}
\def\mapdown#1{\Big\downarrow
\rlap{$\vcenter{\hbox{$\scriptstyle#1$}}$}}
\matrix{&&0\cr
&&\mapdown{}\cr
0&\mapright{}&{\cal O}_C&\mapright\iota&
\cal E&\mapright\rho&\cal L&\mapright{}&0\cr
&&\Big\Vert&&\mapdown\phi&&\mapdown\psi\cr
0&\mapright{}&{\cal O}_C&\mapright{}&
\pi_*{\cal O}_D&\mapright\delta&
R^1f_*{\cal O}_V(-D)&\mapright{}&0\cr
&&\mapdown{\theta_i\otimes\gamma^{-1}}\cr
&&\hidewidth R^1f_*\bigl({\cal O}
_V(-iM)\bigr)\otimes\gamma^{-1}\hidewidth\cr
&&\mapdown{}\cr
&&0\cr}$$

Since i'm just a newbie of TeX, I don't really understand the first a few lines
of the solution. I still need some learning and practice :)

Hello, Xiao.

I'm glad I could help: I'm learning these advanced requirements as I go
along. My personal mathematics needs are much more modest.

I wouldn't give up on ConTeXt just yet. Try:
\loadmapfile[original-ams-base]
\starttext
\showmathcharacters
Note the \formula{\rightleftharpoons} and 
\formula{\upharpoonleft\!\downharpoonright}.
\stoptext

Do you know how you would code that cycle in (AMS)LaTeX?

I must say thank you very very much!

In fact I've been looking for \iint in ConTeXt in the last two days -_-
so i'll try to use \int\!\!\!\int instead of looking for a ConTeXt 
implementation :)

I met another problem today. Since there are not as many arrows in ConTeXt as

in AMS-LaTeX,I don't konw how to type the formula in the attached picture which

Tobias Burnus said this at Sat, 14 May 2005 07:05:44 +0200:

>(I have to admit, I cannot find m-math.tex/t-math.tex anywhere.)

I "assumed" Hans meant MathML. :)
\usemodule[mathml]


The basic math capabilities within ConTeXt do seem poorly documented,
mostly because they point to different sources, often in books. However,
ConTeXt does use  Plain TeX as its model for mathematics. 

The basics in ConTeXt are roughly equivalent to those described in:

   (I don't know if it will specifically help you, but I note there's a
zh version of that page)


...but it takes some practice to spot the things that don't work directly
in ConTeXt. Some differences are unimplemented features, some are
differing conventions, some are because LaTeX thought they would be
useful, and ConTeXt hasn't (yet).

Some differences from the examples on that page that I notice immediately:

Math is best delimited inline with \formula{ ... }, not $ ... $
Display math is best delimited with \startformula ... \stopformula , not
$$ ... $$

\operatorname  =>  \mfunction

The double-, triple-, and quadruple-integrals (\nt) are undefined in
basic ConTeXt's math.

The \begin{case} environment needs to be simplified into the Plain
\cases{} command.

The AMSmath/LaTeX-like:

$$ \begin{bmatrix} p & q \\
   r & s   \end{bmatrix} $$

   ...can be interpreted as...

\startformula
\left[ \matrix{ p & q \cr
r & s } \right]
\stopformula


This might not be the best answer to the original poster, but I do hope
it provides a bit of a guide to the general ConTeXt newcomer.
