Re: [NTG-context] inline diagrams/charts?
2007/8/16, Wolfgang Schuster [EMAIL PROTECTED]: sparklines? Thank you, that's what I meant. I had in mind there was some TeX solution? But never mind, I need them in an InDesign layout anyway. there was a pgf solution on Tuftes page: http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=Lktopic_id=1topic=Ask+E%2eT%2e Thank you. Actually, I only seem to need some percentage bars for my poll results (% of yes, perhaps and no for about 50 questions). So I wrote a python script that gets the data from my database and writes an EPS of the bar (fortunately I learned how to handcode PS). This is converted to PDF, and I'm set. As I mentioned, my magazine is made with InDesign, so I can't calculate on the fly. Looking at all the beautiful sparklines, I thought how I could utilize the higher data density, but had no idea yet. But my inline bars (with a scale) are already better than the pie charts that I had in mind first.

Re: [NTG-context] Column enumerations start at zero

Or \appendtoks\enablemathpunctuation\to\everystarttext, if you want the
\enablemathpunctuation in an environment or module.

[NTG-context] t-bib - publicationlist space between [111] and items // luatex // error for \currentdate [y, -, mm, -, dd]
Hello,
I use \setuppublications[numbering=yes,refcommand=num] and have more
than 99 references. Thus in the reference list the ] of [111]
overlaps with the entry behind.
I tried \setuppublicationlist with samplesize= and with
distance=/width=, but this did not help.
Any idea how to solve this (best would be of cause automatically).
* * *
I'm now trying to get LuaTeX running with a TeXLive2007 system and the
current cont-tmf.zip.
I did:
- Compiled luatex and installed luatex
- Created symbolic link from texluac to luatex
- Set TEXMFCNF=dir to the directory which contains texmf.cnf
Questions and problems:
a) Where do I find mtxrun ? I found ./scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua, but
lua ./scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua
gives the error message:
lua: ./scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua:3949: attempt to index global
'lua' (a nil value)
The line is:
if lua.bytecode then -- from 0 upwards
b) If I run:
texmfstart texexec --make --lua
the metafun.mem is nicely generated but cont-* is not:

Which seems to be the same error as in (a).

Since the update of cont-tmf.zip, I get an error (pdfetex) for:
\currentdate [y,-,mm,-,dd]
\bye
! Missing number, treated as zero.

Any idea what goes wrong here?

Re: [NTG-context] MetaFont
But this does massivly restrict metafonts capabilities. Pens for example are not allowed (Metafont with applied handbrake)! I agree, metatype1 is not very easy to use if you are familiar with metafont already. For existing fonts, mf2pt1 is in general the best approach, I think. There is a (patched?) version out there that delegates most the hard work to fontforge, and it's results are normally quite acceptable. There was once (1990) an article in TUGboat 11:4, pages 525-541 which discribes an patch to mf84. The patched mf could produce type3 fonts. Should'nt it be possible to do the same for type1? Not without a lot of effort. Type3 fonts allow all sorts of stuff that is illegal in Type1, like overlapping and mixing of strokes and fills. The cases where fontforge is refusing, are cases which are best handeld inside metafont, where one has the knowledge: a.) elliptical curves, which are represented by polygons (lots of points and resolution depandend) and should converted to something smoother, and b.) short epicycles, which are also artifacts from penmotions, which can easyly be detected and replaced by an corner point.
