[NTG-context] \mathematics
Hi.When writing math I like avoiding $ whenever possible by defining my math operators with \mathematics, e.g.\def\grp{\mathematics{G}}.So far I was using this like I use \EnsureMath in LaTeX, but now I'm running into problems in MPgraphics:
Texexec compiles the following file fine until I add the paragraph called Math in Math in MP. There it seems to somehowchoke on too many $ and \relax.Is there a better way to do such definitions?
Thanks,Boris.PS: There's already a problem in the second to last paragraph where the G is not set in math mode any more.The example file:\def\grp{\mathematics{G}}\starttextTest.
Running text:A group \grpMath:$\grp$$\grp_{\grp}$Text in MP:\startusableMPgraphic{groupone}label(textext(\grp),origin) ;\stopusableMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{groupone}Math in MP:\startusableMPgraphic{grouptwo}label(textext(\mathematics{\grp}),origin) ;\stopusableMPgraphic\useMPgraphic{grouptwo}Math in Math in MP:
\startusableMPgraphic{groupthree}label(textext(\mathematics{\grp_{\grp}}),origin) ;\stopusableMPgraphic\useMPgraphic{groupthree}\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Snapping sectionhead
Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2006 23:33:38 +0200
From: Taco Hoekwater [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Snapping sectionhead
While I was reading 'In the Details' to learn more about grid-
typesetting, I could not comprehend the examples with
grid={broad,...}.
Then in section 1.8 I read that grid=line should be a shortcut
for
grid={broad,high,depth}.
Section 1.8 deals \exclusively with \externalfigure. Apparently
the grid option for sectioning commands is handled differently.
In my version of 'In the Details', dated 2002 chapter 1 deals with
'Snapping section heads' and section 1.8 is titled 'Snapping
around
(broad,high,depth).'
Is there a newer variant of that manual?
Must be, I read mine online from
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/details.pdf
while I was keying in this answer.
Greetings,
Taco
I checked this.
But it is the same document!
Section 1.8 deals there with 'Snapping section heads' too.

I've changed my local definition of \mathematics to:

And that works nicely.

Taco Hoekwater wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hallo! In \setupfloats[] what exactly is the difference between textmethod and sidemethod? textmethod is used for floats inside the text flow, sidemethod for sidefloats. Compared with the gridsize, why does a 1 point window (method=2) help when typesetting on grids? I assume it corrects for the \lineskip glue. Isn't 1% (method=1) much more in the most cases than 1 point? Yes it would be. Perhaps that one is because of \maxdepth, but I am only guessing. The fact that there are two methods could be simply a trial-and-error left over. kind of; depending on the way a document is set up, rounding errors play a role, so the 1pt is taking care if that, while the .99 is th eold method; tricky stuff anyway Hans - 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 - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] figure directory is sort of searched
I still can't figure this problem one out, from a few months ago, and it
happens with a recent ConTeXt (2006.08.08 21:51). The figure searching
code gets confused if a file of the same basename (but in a different
directory) has already been loaded. Here is a minimal min.tex to show
what I mean:
\starttext
\setupexternalfigures[directory={1}]
\placefigure[here][ch1fig]{should be 1/fig-1.pdf}{\externalfigure[fig-1.pdf]}
\setupexternalfigures[directory={2}]
\placefigure[here][ch2fig1]{should be 2/fig-1.pdf}{\externalfigure[fig-1.pdf]}
\placefigure[here][ch2fig2]{should be 2/fig-2.pdf}{\externalfigure[fig-2.pdf]}
\stoptext
Probably it's a silly idea to use \setupexternalfigures within the body,
but the same problem happens when using components (where each
component's preamble has a similar line), where it makes more sense.
Here is the directory structure, and all the files are attached as a
small (15KB) .tgz:
min.tex
1/fig-1.pdf
2/fig-1.pdf
2/fig-2.pdf
The final (third) figure is correctly found as 2/fig-2.pdf. But the
second figure is reused from 1/fig-1.pdf because another fig-1.pdf has
already been found: as 1/fig-1.pdf. Here is the relevant bit from the
texexec output:
./1/fig-1.pdf
figures : dimensions of 1/fig-1.pdf loaded from figurefile itself
(./min.tuo) (/home/sanjoy/texmf/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex)
floatblocks : 1 placed
figures : figureobject fig-1.pdf is reused
floatblocks : 2 placed
./2/fig-2.pdf
figures : dimensions of 2/fig-2.pdf loaded from figurefile itself
floatblocks : 3 placed
One part of ConTeXt does know the right figure path. A
\getfiguredimensions[fig-1.pdf] after the second \placefigure will
trigger a kpathsea search for 2/fig-1.pdf, which it finds. But it still
loads 1/fig-1.pdf, which is why I've said 'sort of searched' in the
subject line.
It seems that the decision about whether a figure is already loaded is
made in core-fig.tex, in
\def\calculateexternalfigure[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5][#6]%
...
\ifcase\figurestatus
\let\@@efframe\v!on
\let\@@efobject\v!no
\showmessage\m!figures1\@@effilename
\or
\showmessage\m!figures2\@@effullname
\or
\showmessage\m!figures3{\@@effullname,\@@eflenttype}%
\or
\showmessage\m!figures4\@@effullname
\or
\showmessage\m!figures5{\@@effullname,\@@efloadname}%
\or % no message
\doifnot\@@efsymbol\v!yes{\showmessage\m!figures8\@@effullname}%
\fi
...
The no message comment suggests that when \figurestatus isn't set,
the message shown is figures8, which is
8: figureobject -- is reused
But I couldn't figure out who sets \figurestatus and where the judgement
of 'already loaded' is made. The comment at the beginning of the above
\def (this whole mess needs a clean up anyway) scared me off :-)
