Re: Charts

[David Waller <davidwaller1@gmail.com>]

Hi Willi,
Thanks for your comments, unfortunately this still hasn't helped me. I
enclose below a simple sample that shows the problem. Any advice
please?

% interface=en output=pdftex

\usemodule[chart]
\setupFLOWcharts
      [x=1,
      y=1,
      nx=5,
      ny=9,
      dx=\bodyfontsize,
      dy=\bodyfontsize,
      width=6\bodyfontsize,
      height=4\bodyfontsize]

\setupFLOWsplit
        [x=1,
        y=1,
        nx=5,
        ny=8,
        dx=1,
        dy=1,
        before=,
        after=\page,
        marking=on]

\startFLOWchart [place-st-low]
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {start}
    \location {1,1}
    \shape {procedure}
    \text {Straight}
    \connection [bt] {1}
  \stopFLOWcell
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {1}
    \location {1,2}
    \shape {wait}
    \text {Place}
    \connection [bt] {20}
  \stopFLOWcell
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {20}
    \location {1,3}
    \shape {wait}
    \text { point}
    \connection [bt] {2}
  \stopFLOWcell  
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {2}
    \location {1,4}
    \shape {12}
    \text {User}
    \connection [bt] {3}
  \stopFLOWcell
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {3}
    \location {1,5}
    \shape {sub procedure}
    \text {Start}
    \connection [bt] {4}
    \connection [rr] {2}
  \stopFLOWcell
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {4}
    \location {1,6}
    \shape {decision}
    \text {new}
    \connection [bt] {5}
    \connection [rl] {4a}
  \stopFLOWcell
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {4a}
    \location {2,6}
    \shape {action}
    \text {Automatically}
    \connection [bt] {7}
  \stopFLOWcell
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {5}
    \location {1,7}
    \shape {12}
    \text {User}
    \connection [bt] {6}
  \stopFLOWcell 
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {6}
    \location {1,8}
    \shape {sub procedure}
    \text {Start distance}
    \connection [bt] {7}
    \connection [rr] {5}
  \stopFLOWcell
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {7}
    \location {1,9}
    \shape {wait}
    \text {Reset}
    \connection [bt] {8}
  \stopFLOWcell
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {8}
    \location {1,10}
    \shape {12}
    \text {User}
    \connection [bt] {9}
  \stopFLOWcell 
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {9}
    \location {1,11}
    \shape {sub procedure}
    \text {distance validation}
    \connection [bt] {10}
    \connection [rr] {8}
  \stopFLOWcell
  \startFLOWcell
    \name {10}
    \location {1,12}
    \shape {action}
    \text {LOW is placed}
    \connection [lr] {1a}
  \stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart

\starttext

Some text to start it all off

\FLOWchart[place-st-low]

Now we want some text so that it looks like their is actually some
more text at the end.

\stoptext

Thanks
David Waller
