Hi Luigi, luigi scarso a écrit :

Well, I like it. Is there any examples on wiki of these things (maybe I have lost some discussions about it)?

Not yet from me on the wiki... In fact, I have began ConTeXt last year specially to compose my dissertation. As a consequence, if you googleize "NTG ConTeXt Renaud Aubin", you'll have an idea of my step by step approach to PhD writting with ConTeXt... ;) I'll clean up, comment the source and put it online asap. You can find the source here (for the moment): http://renojrl.lrv.uvsq.fr/perso/projects/phd/ Renaud

impresssive (a pitty that my french is not good enough to understand all this stuff; playing with such crawling machinery is still on my agenda)

Gavin Miller was not a roboticist... and when he plays with "such crawling machines", hum, the result is great ! I'm waiting for a BabyHans robot ! ;)

i hope that you got it printed in full color and nicely bound

I got it printed on a LaserJet 2300 on high quality A4 paper... It was a pain (specially recto-verso because you needed to be just next to the printer) to print all the print out I needed but the result looks very nice. I've done the best I can from myself. I have used a glued transparent cover and hard front and back cover page. Renaud

When taco and I attended the lua conference (in nl) there was a robit being demonstrated running on lua ; i do have this lego kit and i'm waiting for the lua mindstorm lua controller; it's till on my agenda to use metapost to let such a device draw large pictures

Great ! The use of scripting language in robotics is a trend. See URBI, pyRob, etc. The very first time I've heard of Lua (2003|2004): http://q12.org/lua/index.html (Russell Smith is the father of ODE, the physics engine I use) ;) Renaud

Hello David, May I ask a newbie question? How did you create the lemmas? I found a mysterious "startlemma" in core-des.tex via the ConTeXt garden source browser but \startlemma Some statement ... \stoplemma didn't work for me :-( Oliver

Hi all,

I'll also give a link to a PhD ``sample document'' ;). You can find my PhD thesis at http://sitola.fi.muni.cz/~antos/thesis.pdf

Well, it isn't as complex as Renaud's work (talking about typography, it's a high-level science, of course ;))), someone may be interested in algorithm typesetting.

I'd like to thank Hans for his kind support (to name an example, today, a mechanism for named numbered lemmas is part of ConTeXt).

Yours, D.A.

Thanks very much ... I tried it out and it worked. But I guess I'll have to spend some more time fiddling around with the options to make it look similar to what I'm used from the AMSLaTeX package. Cheers, Oliver

May I ask a newbie question? How did you create the lemmas?

Hello,

today, lemmas can be based on description/enumeration mechanism (I believe it's been in ConTeXt since circa January 2006).

Descriptions now accept parameter title=yes. Using that, you can provide a title to the description. Have a look into core-des.tex.

...

I found a mysterious "startlemma" in core-des.tex via the ConTeXt garden source browser but

Naturally, the example of lemma definition is commented out ;)

Copy \defineenumeration[lemma][title=yes, titlestyle=\bs, list=lemma] into your document and try to use \startlemma{title of the lemma} blah blah \stoplemma

Check parameters of descriptions in the manual, you can find some options related to the title mechanism.

Yours, D.A.

P.S.: I've achieved the same functionality by means of ugly hacks that depend on ConTeXt version strongly. That's why I don't send you my configuration.

Nice work! I can't read French, but the figures are very nice and content is probably interesting as well ;)

Thanks!

I didn't know that people were indeed using the module already (I started using it more regularly only recently).

dunno (but hope so because of the result...)

Now one question: how exactly did you create/include the plots? With "which version of the module"? I don't mind if some of my plots break if I slightly change the interface before officially releasing it, but I don't want other people to have problems with that.

You're right. I've used the latest darcs' release (up to the "points added, some options, etc..." patch). For the inclusion, it's better to have an example in mind: %%%% file curves.gp set terminal context input textext linewidth .3 size 1.2 set output "curves.tex" set xlabel "$x$ (m)" set ylabel "$z$ (m)" set notitle plot sin(x) with lines lw 2 notitle set xlabel "$t$ (s)" set ylabel "a label" set notitle plot cos(x) %%%% file gpsample.tex: \usemodule[t-gnuplot] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \processGNUPLOTfile[mybeautifulcurves][curves] \placefigure[here]{none}{ \startcombination[1*2] {\useMPgraphic{gpg:mybeautifulcurves:1}}{$\sin$} {\useMPgraphic{gpg:mybeautifulcurves:2}}{$\cos$} \stopcombination } \stoptext The output is processed using: gnuplot curves.gp texexec gpsample With this method, the gnuplot call delivers a curves.tex file one could keep as long as the plot doesn't change... Can be usefull when you have a big document! ;) I'll write a paper entitled "How to get a PhD with... ConTeXt" asap (I have the summary and the ideas but time is missing these days, as always and, moreover because of my new job...). It'll mainly be a paper about integration (m-bib, gnuplot, mp, etc...) Best regards Renaud PS: what will you do to manage your gnuplot module for ConTeXt ? Include it into official gnuplot ? It's maybe the time to keep it "well managed", with supelec foundry for example... What your opinion ?

Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Sure. With md5 checksums new gnuplot runs should be prevented ... (if I ever come so far to know how to implement it or if Hans kindl offers a solution ;)

so that you can blame me for the bugs -) texmfstart --ifchanged=yourfile.gpt --bin gnuplot yourfile.gpt (in mkiv i will do the md5 check inside tex)

And t-gnuplot is/will be on modules.contextgarden.net (Hans might add it to distribution once it's ready/stable etc.)

which is when?

That one is not so clean yet. I need to implement changing the color & similar with \setupGNUPLOT[colorset=...,pointset=...,size=...,linewidth=..., ....]

maybe at least have a release before tex live gets frozen ... 20/11 Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Mojca, Mojca Miklavec a écrit :

textext? Did it work? On my computer it hangs after approximately 13 plots. The suggested option is to use "sometxt" now.

textext works for me, all my plots use this option.

Even better (faster) if you have a compiled version of plots and only include PDF ;)

Ok, but what about font embedding ? I precisely like to proceed the plot as mp code because of the embedding of fonts... I explain: when I began ConTeXt, I included plots as pdf from LaTeX+PStricks and I observed an annoying fact, i.e. the fonts are embedded twice ! For this reason, when I heard of a context (via mp) term, I tried it... with success... Renaud
