Antwort: Re: [NTG-context] Interactive things and exact placement of graphics
Hi, thanks for your answer :-) These tipps will help a lot and answers a piece of my questions. With metafun I produced a graphic an the text comes in with \framed like its described in metafun and this works fine. The exact positioning is a problem but it works, not total like my suggestions, with a table. I've read mwidget and I have a question. Is it possible to mak a goto to a exact site in my document? I've read of next, previous and other documents but can I say something like "goto page 5 of the document" ? thx Jessica ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] font scaling in typescripts
This may be a bug, or I may be missing something... I have defined a typescript for my Adobe Garamond, and I want Courier as the monotype font accompanying it. Since Courier is a bit too big compared to Garamond, I want to scale it down, so I have this line in my typescript (yes, I have adapted my own Courier, I have given up on all the changes in names etc. in the latest teTeX releases): \definefontsynonym [Courier] [texnansi-Courier sa 0.9] [encoding=texnansi] This works almost perfectly; Courier is scaled exactly like I want it. There's one small problem: the first occurrence of monotype in the document will print "sa 0.9 at 12.0pt" just before the passage in monotype. This happens only once in the document, but it doesn't look very nice. Bug or feature? Best Thomas ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

When you compile a product, the referenced project-file gets included in some manner, so every product of the project will inherit the same setups. Compiling the project-file is seldom useful. It will generate all products in one file. Consider just, that one product is one document, and a component is a kind of "sub-document" for example a chapter. And the project-file is just a list of documents, that should inherit some common setups. I suggest the following structure: project: MyManual product: the manual component: Chapter 1 component: Chapter 2 component: Chapter 3 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 component: Chapter 6 component: Chapter 7 component: Chapter 8 component: Chapter 9 product: Example 1 component: title page for example 1 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 product: Example 2 component: title page for example 2 component: Chapter 6 component: Chapter 7 product: Example 3 component: title page for example 3 component: Chapter 8 component: Chapter 9 I hope, this helps.

[NTG-context] Continuous chapter numbering
Hi all,I have a technical manual setup in ConTeXt whereby the manual itself is a ConTeXt 'project' and each chapter is a different component. Within this, I need to group some chapters together so these grouped chapters are products. Thus, I have:
project: MyManual component: Chapter 1 component: Chapter 2 component: Chapter 3 product: Example 1 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 product: Example 2 component: Chapter 6
component: Chapter 7 product: Example 3
component: Chapter 8
component: Chapter 9 ...Is there a way to have the chapter numbers be continuous rather than resetting at the beginning of each product? I have already disabled product numbers in a setupheader command but I'm stumped at how to make the chapter numbers continuous. I've tried playing with "incrementnumber=file" but I'm not sure this appropraite... any hints here would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!Randall\setuphead [part] [textcommand=\MyPartText, textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[Titling, 11pt]\sc}, placehead=yes, color=black, number=no, page=right,
continue=no, header=empty, distance=0pt, before=\setups{part:before}, after=\setups{part:after}]\setuphead[Topic,chapter] [ numbercommand=\MyChapterNumberText, incrementnumber=prj_thesis,
textcommand=\MyChapterText, textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[Titling, 11pt]\sc}, color=black, number=yes, page=right, continue=no, header=empty, distance=0pt, before=\vbox to 3cm\bgroup,
after=\vss\egroup ]

[NTG-context] spreadsheet
Hello,
I would like to do some spreadsheet like calculations with ConTeXt. Before
using the same package, I've used once upon a time with LaTeX (realcalc), I
would like to know, if there are already some macros for calculations in
ConTeXt, or if you could recommend some method, how to do that.
FYI my old LaTeX-file:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{dcolumn}
\input{realcalc}% on CTAN
\newcommand*\cc[1]{\multicolumn{1}{c}{#1}}
\def\scanwert\ignorespaces#1\unskip{\gdef\WERT{#1}#1}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{>{\scanwert}D{.}{,}{-1}%
>{\Rmul\res\WERT{6.55957}\Radd\res\res{0.005}\Rtrunc\res2\res\res}%
D{.}{,}{-1}}%
\cc{Euro}&\cc{FF}\\\hline
20.33 & \\
20.3 & \\
20 & \\
14.46 &
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Cheers, Peter

Re: [NTG-context] Interactive things and exact placement of graphics
Hi Jessica,
If you have to superimpose text over the picture(s) then layers are the
way to go.
For what you want may be you could use the fieldstack-mechanism (see
metafun manual). - I do not know however how this will work with layers.
To include interactive links in the text there is a command
\goto[some-reference].
In order to jump to a different document you could use
\useexternaldocument[reference in this document][name of external
file][comments], which you can use as follows:
\goto{My external file}[reference in this document::]. More information
on this subject can be found in the manual mwidget.pdf
A good source for solutions can be the presentation-styles delivered
with the Context distro, Hans uses often pieces of Metapost within them.
I hope this gives you a clue ...
Willi.

Hi,

I want to draw a figure with metafun and place this on an exact

which I draw with Metafun. In which way I do this? Whith layers? How
should it looks like? Get some small layer with only one figure
together in a big layer?
And when I've build this graphic I want to put text into it and the
whole graphic should be interactive. I want to lay a hyperlink over
this to the web or another page in my document. Is this possible and
in which way?

This is the hex unicode reference for the entity which is already
defined in xtag-mml.tex as nothing ({}) via its expansion into
.
So the problem seems to be in arriving at from . I'm not
sure how to do that, but in the meantime you can define
explicitly using:
\defineXMLentity [x02061] {}
I think there is a mapping mechanism though, since a lot of Unicode is
supported natively; perhaps the vector to which belongs hasn't been
completed yet.
