Re: [NTG-context] The visual counter module

Hi,

This is to announce an alpha release of the visual counter module. See
http://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/visualcounter-module/
for some examples, in particular
http://randomdeterminism.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/theorem.pdf

The idea is to display a counter visually, in the same spirit as
interactions bars. There is no support for interaction, but, on the plus
sides, these work for any conter, not just the page counter. The idea of
the module comes from the counters designed by Thomas as part of the
simpleslides module.

The module only works with MkIV because I am using the new namespace
code. So MkII support is unlikely.

Anyone else interested in such counters?


fun!

Re: [NTG-context] Gnuplot module: Patching of Gnuplot binary still needed?

 Dear ConTeXt folks,


 I read about the Gnuplot module [1] and I am wondering whether patching
 the Gnuplot binary is still necessary.

Yes.

Can you please send the same message to the gnuplot mailing list?

I have sent the patch upstream once in 2006, but they had two
arguments against including the patch:

1.) nobody from the development team was willing to install anything
else but tetex to try it out (and the module doesn't work under tetex)

2.) they assumed that I was the only user

The first point should hopefully be resolved by now (module should
work under MikTeX or TeX Live out-of-the-box and hopefully TeX Live is
enough widespread by now), but if anyone wants to have the module
included, somebody else but me needs to write to the gnuplot mailing
list and ask the developers if they are willing to include the patch.
(By pointing them to
https://github.com/mojca/gnuplot/blob/master/term/context.trm first.)

I'm willing to upload the patch, but it makes no sense for me to
regularly upload new patches to their
feature-requests-and-bug-tracking system if they ignore them for ages
...
I admit that the number of ConTeXt/Gnuplot users might be small, alone
for the fact that the number of ConTeXt users (several thousand?) is
much smaller than the number of LaTeX addicts, but I would be glad to
see 20 users of metafont terminal when not even the output of metapost
terminal is satisfactory (it could be improved considerably).


Apart from that ... I was working with Peter Hedwig on the ConTeXt
part of his lua/TikZ terminal (that has already been included in
gnuplot). We got it running, with some issues like general font
loading scheme, but the work was never polished to the end (stalled at
some point). We could revive that thread as well.

 Github is currently down and

It works here, but the main gnuplot code is located on fontforge (in
CVS). Github only includes a patched version of gnuplot that contains
context support.

Mojca

 therefore cannot check if the code is included. But judging from

 it appears it is still required. Did some send this patch already

[NTG-context] Hook environment into head/structure setup

2010-11-15 Thread Andreas Harder
Hi all,

I don't think it is yet possible, but it would be nice if there was something 
like:

\setuphead % or perhaps \setupstructure
  [chapter]
  [beforestructure=\startlinenumbering,
afterstructure=\stoplinenumbering]

Which should result in:

\startlinenumbering
  \startchapter[title=test]
Text
  \stopchapter
\stoplinenumbering

Is there already a way to achieve this? I've consequently used 
\start-\stopchapter, maybe one can append \start-\stoplinenumbering to them?

I would appreciate any help

Andreas

Do you have MikTeX 2.9?

What exactly is going on? What is working/what is not?

You won't be able to update to the latest version of ConTeXt since
that would mean adapting some scripts as well, but ConTeXt should in
principle work. Maybe I should test once again with a clean install
...

[NTG-context] Grabbing first letter of a sentence

2010-11-15 Thread Mathieu Boespflug
Hi,

I'd like to get access to the first letter of a chapter for the
purpose of laying out the chapter heading, but I'm having difficulty
with expansion.

Here's my attempt:

\def\MyChapterTitle#1#2{%
  \def\doMyChapterTitle##1##2^{%
  {\tfb ##1}##2
  }
  #1 \doMyChapterTitle#2^
}

setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapterTitle]

\starttext

\chapter{Foo}

bar

\stoptext

This doesn't work because the chapter title isn't expanded out before
passing it to \MyChapterTitle. I know there is deeptextcommand but I
need the chapter title during the layout of chapter number + title, so
I need to use command instead of deeptextcommand. I attempted to get
hold of the chapter title using the following

\def\MyChapterTitle#1#2{%
  \def\doMyChapterTitle##1##2^{%
  {\tfb ##1}##2
  }
  #1 \expandafter\doMyChapterTitle\expandafter{\fetchmark[chapter][first]}^
}

but that doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas?

Many thanks,

M

[NTG-context] libertine typescript

\definefontsynonym[Keyboard][file:LinBiolinum_Kb-0.5.4][features=default]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[outline][biolinumOL]

\definefontsynonym[ShadowBold]  [file:fxbsb][features=default]
\definefontsynonym[ShadowItalic][file:fxbsi][features=default]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[mylibertine]
[...]
   \definetypeface[mylibertine][kb][keyboard][biolinumKB][default]
   \definetypeface[mylibertine][ol][outline] [biolinumOL][default]
   \definetypeface[mylibertine][sh][shadow]  [biolinumSH][default]
\stoptypescript
[...]

however, this did not work. Where do I have to define the new
commands \kb, \ol and \sh?

This works:

\definefont[keyboard][LinBiolinum_Kb-0.5.4 at 20pt]
\definefont[outline][fxbo at 20pt]
\definefont[shadow][fxbs at 20pt]
\starttext
The layout of my keyboard:\\
{\keyboard qwertz}
it is a german one.\par
{\outline Outline font}\par
{\shadow Shadow font}\par
\stoptext

the output: http://perce.de/temp/x.png

what I don't understand is that this examples builds and runs fine under
