Subject: memoir-style chapter heading
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2020 14:45:06 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3d9f7173-6c8e-3a30-5a0e-ab94de35342c@gmail.com> (raw)
Am completely new to using Metafun, which I presume I would need to use
to achieve a Hansen Memoir-style Chapter heading (chapter title
overlayed on a large lightgray number). Of course, I am assuming I would
need to use Metafun to create this...
So my first question is to ask if I could achieve the same effect
without Metafun?
I have read through the Metafun manual, and I think I can understand how
to overlay text on a graphic (MP), but it would be currently beyond me
to draw numbers of the kind we find in, say, the Memoir examples.
Has anyone created such an example? I was keenly looking for one in the
manual and elsewhere, in terms of ConTeXt/Metafun commands, but could
not find one. But I'd be quite prepared to 'have a go' at this, if I had
some pointers of just where to start! I assume I would have to
\defineoverlay[number] and then add text on top \framed (but without the
frame borders). Am I at least correct about this?
Julian
