\rotate[]{} is a standard command that you can find in the wiki, in

Re: [NTG-context] Pstricks and Asymptote
I tried Metapost last year for a few graphs and liked the fact that it is tightly integrated with Context. I found John Hobby's document a good place to learn it and then used Hans' Metafun to learn further. The reason I am looking at Asymptote and pstricks is because they have libraries or functionality which Metapost lacks. For example, the tree drawing library in pstricks. If Metapost has such a library I don't know since I cannot find any document that explains the new things added to Metapost other than what is mentioned in Metafun(2001). As you said documentation is lacking. Similarly, Asymptote allows one to find intersection points of any two paths (even nonlinear paths). I am not sure whether Metapost can do that. I keep reading that Taco is working on development of Metapost. However, I am not sure what exactly has changed. If there is any new documentation, I would love to read it. Thanks.

Re: [NTG-context] Pstricks and Asymptote
On Mon, 16 Nov 2009, Curiouslearn wrote: Mojca, in case you read this, can you please let me know what the status on asymptote is. I am not Mojca, but I'll comment on this anyways :) I looked into integrating asymptote this summer (spent around a month going to asymptote macro code). Asymptote works fine with mkiv, if you use asymptote in a stand alone mode. Getting asymptote to run within context is easy or extremely difficult; depending on how you look at it. If one wants to set everything the asymptote way, and simply want \startASYcode ... \stopASYcode to copy its content to its file, create a asymptote figure and insert it in context, that is easy. You just need to tweak three lines of m-r.tex and you are done (m-r.tex is around 15 lines only). But that means that the user is responsible for setting all the fonts on his own (using asymptote syntax). To be at par with metapost, we should have \startASYenvironment to set the fonts, \startASYinclusions to define macros, and then \startASYcode to create figures; maybe also have \defineASYgraphic (need to set OverlayWidth etc.) and \defineASYreusablegraphic. Ideally, we should also have the equivalent of \sometxt, but after going through asymptote code, I gave up on that (establishing a two way communication between asymptote and context is difficult). Most of the above is easy (in terms of implementation); but one needs to understand asymptote and context to implement them. I did not completely understand the low level asymptote code, so after a while, integrating asymptote got low on my priorities. Maybe someone else should look at it seriously.

Aditya, what do you think ?
I did not know about width=local (and therefore wanted width=broad to
behave like it). Given that, I think that broad behaves just fine. These
differnt options need to be documented better.

You could pre-assign a zero-padded number to each book (Genesis=001,

On one hand uname doesn't return anything usable when booting with

Re: [NTG-context] Pstricks and Asymptote
Thanks to all who made some suggestions about where I can find Metapost libraries. Will look into those. It seems Asymptote + Tikz is a good way to go and also try out Metapost again. Mojca, you said that number of pstricks users are decreasing. Is this amongst Context users, or in general amongst all users who use pstricks. If the overall number of users is decreasing then perhaps I don't want to spend time learning it as it won't have new features in the future. I don't like its syntax, though it can do neat things. Asymptote syntax is really good. Thanks again.

Re: [NTG-context] Pstricks and Asymptote
I think I should give Metapost a try. There are two reasons, I tried out asymptote (i) Its syntax seems easier to remember (ii) It can find intersections of curves (not only straight lines) quite easily. Can Metapost do the second? Anyhow, I am going to give it a try again to see if I like it. Thanks.

[NTG-context] Remove bold face
Hello Everybody, My problem is the following: I'm creating chapter's titles
with a mix of styles. For example. \chapter{ something {\bolditalic another
thing}} This give me the result that I expect with my titles, but when I use
this title's string to create a header, part of the header appears with the
bold italic style on it and I would like to remove it. So far I have tried
to define my header's style as normal but the bolditalic style keeps
appearing on the another thing part. Is there a way to remove this bold
style? Thank you in advance for the help -- Kind Regards Anuar

Someone should check what is returned in the os.uname() return table.
Mine returns

but I'm booting in 64-bit mode (I need to reboot first to check for
return value in 32-bit mode).
On one hand uname doesn't return anything usable when booting with
32-bit kernel, but on the other hand one probably already runs the
64-bit luatex at the time when mtxrun needs to determine the
architecture.
Well, I doubt you can discover whether you have a totally 32bit software
environment with a 64bit kernel without lots of trickery (but I could
be wrong about that). In any case, os.uname() will give the same results
as the shell command uname.
64bit osx runs 32bit executables (I assume) so you could make the
initial luatex (the one used during install) be a 32bit one, then make
that one decide on which one to use for normal typesetting?
