[NTG-context] xpos.sty
Hello,Thank you again for very timely and great answers to my question yesterday. I am finding that implementing things in Context is usually easier than I expect. This is very nice. Our company decided to switch to context from latex recently. It seems to have been a very good decision. Thanks for all the work you do to make context so fun to use.
We have one last thing to get translated from latex to context. David Kastrup wrote a bit of latex for us (included below) that magically writes out the absolute xy position of each paragraph and image to a log file for us. We pass some extra information to the commands that get put in the log file for us, but in the end we mainly need a way to get the absolute xy coordinates of the bounding boxes for each paragraph, each section title, each image and each image caption. Is there a way to get this information with context already? Or do I need to get a new module written?

We have one last thing to get translated from latex to context. David
Kastrup wrote a bit of latex for us (included below) that magically
writes out the absolute xy position of each paragraph and image to a
log file for us. We pass some extra information to the commands that
get put in the log file for us, but in the end we mainly need a way to
get the absolute xy coordinates of the bounding boxes for each
paragraph, each section title, each image and each image caption. Is
there a way to get this information with context already? Or do I need
to get a new module written?
i dunno about that code but context has support for positions for years now, in
your case you probably need something
\starttext
\let\CurrentPos\empty
\def\StartPos#1%
{\pushmacro\CurrentPos
\edef\CurrentPos{mypos:#1}%
\dontleavehmode\bpos\CurrentPos
\ignorespaces}
\def\StopPos
{\removeunwantedspaces
\epos\CurrentPos
\popmacro\CurrentPos}
\def\BoxPos#1%
{\dowithnextbox{\hbox{\hpos{mypos:#1}{\box\nextbox}}}\vbox}
\StartPos{x}\input tufte \StopPos
\StartPos{y}\input zapf \StopPos
\placefigure
{}
{\BoxPos{q}{\framed[width=3cm,height=4cm]{}}}
