[NTG-context] Framed text with arrows
Hi, I'm a novice yet. I just want to put framed long texts (paragraphs) with arrows connecting these. I want to decorate these frames (background, beaty border, etc.). Like entity-relationship diagrams but more beauty and that I could put long text in each node. Is this possible? Do I must use metafun? Can you provide a simple example? Thanks a lot, Xan.

Hi Xan, Did you consider the use of the FLOWchart module? There is a nice manual at the pragma-ade site (Charts). Willi On Feb 18, 2010, at 5:13 PM, Xan wrote: Hi, I'm a novice yet.

Re: [NTG-context] Framed text with arrows
Thanks, But is there any possibility of having charts with titles, as in page 138 of Metafun manual (Zapf example)? And choose border form like in page 242 of Metafun manual? Really, I need the title. Putting section in chart is a temporal solution but it's not the same... Xavi. En/na Willi Egger ha escrit: Hi Xan, Did you consider the use of the FLOWchart module?

Re: [NTG-context] Framed text with arrows
Definitely out of the box there is no possibility to place titles. But since the chart module has the option to use overlays in the shapes, with tweaking the Metapost-graphic as on page 138 in the Metafun manual you might get this in place. Without studying the sources it might be difficult to use shapes as those presented on page 242 of the Metafun manual.

You might use grouping \bgroup ... setup, part of the FLOWchart \egroup.

How can we change the width, height and color of the second node
("chart") in this example:
\usemodule[chart]
\setupFLOWcharts[height=3\lineheight]
\startFLOWchart[example]
\startFLOWcell
\name {flow}
\location {1,1}
\text {Flow}
\connection [rl] {chart}
\stopFLOWcell
\startFLOWcell
\name {chart}
\location{2,1}
\text {Charts}
\stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart
\FLOWchart[example]
?
Thanks a lot,
Xan.
PS: I cc mailing list, because I think it's general interest topic.

Yes, I am interested.
I do not see how one can change the width and height of a node
as I believe that the grid is defined through \setupFLOWcharts.
However, it could eventually be interesting to be able to modify
the frame size within a cell
\startFLOWcell [width=]
or
\startFLOWcell [scale=]
but this is not (yet) a feature...
I see no reason why one cannot set the color by FLOWcell,
but the obvious
\startFLOWcell [framecolor=red,backgroundcolor=yellow]
does not seem to work.
One can use FLOWfocus, but can one focus on multiple cells?
Alan
P.S. I think that it would be interesting to be able to
abstract the location of a cell, as in
\startFLOWchart[example]
\startFLOWcell
\name {flow}
\text {Flow}
\connection [rl] {chart}
\stopFLOWcell
\startFLOWcell
\name {chart}
\location{rightof=flow}
\text {Charts}
\stopFLOWcell
\startFLOWcell
\name {new}
\location{above=flow}
\connection [bt] {flow}
\text {New}
\stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart
\FLOWchart[example]

Yes, it's the natural way. I think the module could be improve in that way.
