Re: [NTG-context] circuitikz meters
Circuitikz uses \textbf inside, which is a LaTeX macro. Unfortunately, this is
hardcoded within the ammeter and voltmeter nodes, so you can't easily change
it. Instead you can simply provide a macro that does the correct thing.
\usemodule[circuitikz]
\let\textbf\bold % <---
\starttext
\starttikzpicture
\draw (0,0)to[ammeter, t=A, i=$i$] ++(3,0);
\draw (0,4) to[rmeter, t=V, v>=$v$] ++(3,0) ;
\draw (0,2) to[voltmeter, l=$U$] (++3,2);
\stoptikzpicture
\stoptext
Cheers, Henri

[NTG-context] circuitikz meters
Hello ...
I am drawing some simple circuits for an electro-physics class I am teaching
using
circuitikz. Using meters gives some effects I don't quite understand.
The MWE works as shown. The commented lines fail with "Undefined control
sequence". If I
put the same 3 lines into Latex (via Texstudio on Linux), just the opposite
happens. The
line with rmeter fails, the other two work.
Why the difference? Some version issue? The "circuitikz manual version
0.9.4.pdf" shows
all 3 types of meters as choice.
Actually I would prefer to use the "ammeter" and "voltmeter" within Context.
Thanks for any pointers.
Greetings, Martin
\usemodule[circuitikz]
\starttext
\starttikzpicture
%\draw (0,0)to[ammeter, t=A, i=$i$] ++(3,0);
\draw (0,4) to[rmeter, t=V, v>=$v$] ++(3,0) ;
%\draw (0,2) to[voltmeter, l=$U$] (++3,2);
\stoptikzpicture
\stoptext
Latex MWE, works as shown
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{circuitikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz}
\draw (0,0) to[ammeter, t=A, i=$i$] ++(3,0);
%\draw (0,4) to[rmeter, t=V, v>=$v$] ++(3,0) ;
\draw (0,2) to[voltmeter, l=$U$] (++3,2);
\end{circuitikz}
