metafun

metafun

[jimarin]

I have made

texexec --make metafun

to generate metafun format. And it said it generated it.

But...

I always get these messages

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt metafun.mem
fmtutil: no info for format `metafun'.

when doing texexec --pdf to my tex-beauties...

it seems that he goes for metapost after that...

is there anything wrong here?

thanks !

Hi,

try texexec --alone --make metafun

and your texexec is (as far as I can judge) far out of date.

 TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004

is current

Re: Re: metafun

[jimarin]

you are right...mine is 3.1

but I don't understand...I downloaded cont-tmf.zip yesterday from
pragma-ade downloading page...

is it not the right place/version?

where should I get the lattest?

thanks again !

Jose

that is the only authorative(spelling?) place to download... There
are mirrors, but I don't know how uptodate they are.

The output you have sent me (private mail) showed that you use the
latest ConTeXt texfiles, but the perl progam "texexec" was not
updated.

Did texexec --make --alone metafun work?

Re: Re: metafun

[jimarin]

yep, it seems to work...it generates metafun.mem in the same directory it
was invoked...

do I have to invoke

texexec --make --alone

in a specific directory to perform correct installation of ConTeXt ?

I have not seen anything like that mentioned in install document...

is lattest version of TexExec in cont-tfm.zip ?

texexec --make --alone bypasses your distribution's way of installing
format files (fmtutil in your case I guess).

Put the resulting format files (*.fmt, *efmt, *mem) in texmf/web2c
and rerun texhash.

I guess it is hidden...

Yes.

watch out: scripts are now under ../texmf*/scripts/context and no longer under ../texmf/context/ ; normally this should make no difference but ...

the problem is that that should be a writable web2c path (maybe i should extend texexec a bit) 

$TEXFORMATS=path-to-web2c 

could be set is needed (then you know for sure where things end up)

updating context in cygwin by hand

[jimarin]

Hi there,

after some investigation concluded I did not really installed the latest
version of ConTeXt properly. This being the cause of many of my previous
messages that Patrick, Hans and others (thanks to all !) so kindly
replied.

What I have here is a cygwin distro that comes with a texfm distro, in
this distro there is ConTeXt, but an older version from what I want
installed.

So in the texmf tree I put context files. So far so good.

But...this cygwin has a texexec shell script in /usr/bin that makes the
system to launch a texexec it has in: texfm/context/perltk.

I put there the new version of texexec copying into that directory all the
texmf/scripts/perl directory that comes in the new version of ConTeXt.

Now the new texexec is summoned. Great.

I even manage to pass to him the path where to put the en nl and metafun
formats (texfm/web2c) and so it does when I asked it:

texexec --make --alone en nl metafun

But...

when trying to do

texexec --pdf dummy

in /cygdrive/c/documents/versions (a cygwin alias to
C:\documents\versions, place where dummy.tex can be found)

it says:

 TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004

            executable : pdfetex
                format : /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/share/texmf/web2c/cont-en
             inputfile : pvm
                output : pdftex
             interface : en
          current mode : none
               TeX run : 1

pdfetex: unrecognized option `-fmt=cont-en'
Try `pdfetex --help' for more information.

           return code : 256
              run time : 0 seconds

        total run time : 1 seconds
make: *** [pvm.pdf] Error 1




I suspect the pdfetex executable...


any ideas?

thanks !

Jose

Re: Re: updating context in cygwin by hand

[jimarin]

I think I am almost there...

followed instructions at levana.de/context/

it seems to be searching first the things at my place as:

mktexlsr: Updating /cygdrive/c/ConTeXt/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /var/cache/fonts/ls-R...

my place goes first

then I invoke texexec.pl with fullpath and --tex=pdfetex
and copied all scripts in myPLace/texfm/scripts/perl into
/usr/share/texmf/perltk (the place intermediate scripts are being called)

but...

eventually get:

---
           return code : 0
              run time : 2 seconds
   generating graphics : metaposting mpgraph.mp

 TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004

  sorting and checking : running texutil
This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.4.5)

! End of file on the terminal... why?


I am stuck even reading the previous posts...

yep...

I have re-started once again the whole thing and I am almost there...now
it does not stop on the "natural" file

I suspect of a bug in recent texexec.pl file, I am using the "old" one I
have from a previous version (3.1)

You might think of posting the not-working file, so we could see what
is going wrong.

You know about <URL:news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context>?

Good question. I have problems generating the manual documentation
once in a while, so I guess these aren't used for the test :-)

Did you check the log? Does some graphic fail? The missing pages can be 
the summary chapter (due to just one run).

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the new upload.

For your information, I would like to report that the metafun.tex file typesets almost corretly (actually I often typeset it for testing a new upload…) but I get a PDF with 400 pages instead the 448 you are mentionning…
The issues are typically some figures not showing up (for instance figures 13.1 upto 13.13 in chapter 13).

If you think this may be useful for you, I can send you off list the PDF I get on MacOS 10.14.6 and today's release of LMTX.

metafun

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

When making sure that the metafun manual processes with lmtx (where we 
have sometimes different implementations of macros) I also checked 
performance.

When we started with this manual, it was still MKII time so we either 
had direct calls or inbetween calls. Especially multiple runs could take 
a while (many minutes, iir some 15 depending on how it was run). That 
was no fun.

In mkiv with luatex and the built in mp library this dramatically went 
down to 18.1 seconds for one run and 14.2 seconds for luajittex, for 428
pages.

This not bad considering that a lots of features are used: thousands of 
mp images, a bunch of external images, many fonts, plenty of buffers, 
positioning, color, hyperlinks, backgrounds etc. This document uses 
plenty of lua so that is why we gain a lot with luajittex.

In lmtx where we dropped jit and have a less performing backend we 
expect to need more runtime but in the meantime we're quite okay. Not 
only the engine is faster, but also some low level macros benefit a bit 
from new features. I don't know how much lua speedup plays a role but 
probably not that much. For 448 pages (some 20 more than we had before) 
we now need 16.5 seconds and 15.7 when we use the compact font mode. So 
we're halfway between luatex and luajittex now. More than 3 seconds of 
the runtime is for metapost. (I use the  machine as before.)

Hans

PS. If all the stories are true is should be 1 second on a modern apple 
at which point differences in measurements become noise but I cannot 
check that. Some day I might check it on a rpi 4.

I agree. That chapter is confusing if you do not know already how the mechanism
works.

You are simply setting the positions. You also need to tell ConTeXt to do 
something with the positions.

1. First define a position graphic that does something with the anchors 
that it is passed.

\startMPpositiongraphic{mypos:arrow}
   pair c[] ;
   initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{self}});
   c[1] := cxy ;
   initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{to}});
   c[2] := cxy ;
   drawarrow c[1] -- c[2] withpen pencircle scaled 2bp ;
\stopMPpositiongraphic

cxy is the center of the box. See the defn of initialize_box in mp-core.mp 
for other values. I wish these were better documented.

2. Then define a position overlay that specifies the relation between the 
anchors.

\startpositionoverlay{arrow}
\setMPpositiongraphic{X-1}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-2}
\setMPpositiongraphic{X-2}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-3}
\stoppositionoverlay


3. Define an overlay that is mapped to MP position overlay.

\defineoverlay[arrow][\positionoverlay{arrow}]

4. Hook the overlay as a page background

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=arrow]

5. Then everything will work.

\starttext

\section {Anchors and layers}

In a previous section we saw that some \hpos{X-1} {words} were
\hpos{X-2}{circled} and connected by an \hpos{X-3} {arrow}.
As with most things in \CONTEXT, marking these words is separated
from declaring what to do with those words. This paragraph is keyed

Hello everyone.

Today, I received the printed version of the new MetaFun manual. It is very 
nice to have on hand.

Of course, I am also glad to now have the electronic version on my computer to 
use as a working reference. But this does not replace reading the printed 
version in order to discover the richness of possibilities that I do not yet 
use.

Alan

For those who are not aware of the availability of the printed version, see:

…so one has to visit the website very often :-)
By the way, I found that there is a new setup commands manual, in several languages (French, Italian among others):

Indeed, S6 is the perfect page size on the ipad but what happened with the randomized „MetaFun“ in the text?

He is, and he sometimes commits patches (even though most of the works
is done by Christian Feuersaenger). See this:
http://www.texample.net/tikz/

Off-topic: next release of TikZ/PGF is due very soon[1], so this
wouldn't be the right time to print manual for 2.0.

You mean pgfmanual.pdf? That's free, so it shouldn't be a legal problem.
But it's a thick brick...

metafun

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

At the context conference Taco presented a new initiative with respect 
to manuals. For those who cannot (or don't want to) print and bind at 
home we offer a printing on demand service. This week we send out the 
first copies of the (new) metafun manual:

http://www.boekplan.nl/node/9

More will follow. We hope that this will (partially) answer the need for 
manuals. We still have to find out which manuals (also new ones) should 
become available as it takes a bit of effort to keep this flow running 
and to turn manuals in some book-like form, so best keep an eye on the 
site if you're interested.

Hans & Taco

metafun

[guravage m.a.]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1042 bytes --]

In preparing a presentation with contex,t I decided to generate the 
illustrations a-la metafun.  My first graphic is a traditional flow chart 
consisting of text in circles connected by arrowhead tipped lines. I'd use 
context's own chart macros, but I don't think they're applicable here since I 
want only straight lines connecting the centers of circle pairs. Instead, I 
created a grid of circles using a combination of framed texts, each with a 
circular background overlay. Looks good! Has anyone a suggestion how best to 
draw lines between circle pairs? I have cannibalized Hans's `anchors and 
layers' example that focuses on words, but I get the feeling I'm barking up 
the wrong tree. I've attached a small example file, and would welcome any 
suggestions how to proceed.

Cheers,

Michael

Oh!  Neat that xfig does that.  I misunderstood.  :)

What I meant was that I didn't know what the coordinates
were at all. I used xfig to draw part of the picture and
made it dump the coordinates so that I could use them in
metapost. It seems a bit convoluted.

I don't know if this is your style or if it fits your application, but
instead of writing out a long list of points, I sometimes find it
easier to use a for loop.

I can declare a metapost array for holding points or paths, and then
initialize it using a for loop and some simple math.  It makes the
code much easier to read, understand, and maintain.

MetaFun

[Marc van Dongen]

Hello,

This time no questions.
I hope some people will enjoy the metafun appended
below. I'm sure it could have done a bit more
elegantly, but this does the trick as well. (See
also: htpp://www.cs.ucc.ie/~dongen/xmas.pdf (55020 bytes).

In case some people are wondering; I did part of
the picture in xfig first and then used the
coordinates to write the metapost code. If people
know of better (more clever) ways of doing this
then I would be delighted to find out.

Hi!

I browsed through it and what I saw looks fascinating.
It's worth a reading, I think. And surely it can be used as a reference 
afterwards.
By the way : I found two typos at page 1.
"METAPOST on the other hand produces POSTSCRIPT code, which means that it 
has some features not present in METAPOST and vise versa."
should be
"METAPOST on the other hand produces POSTSCRIPT code, which means that it 
has some features not present in METAFONT and vice versa."

Just a question: When will the next non-beta release of ConTeXt be released?
What makes the actual beta still a beta? Well, that was more than one 
question. :)

metafun

[Hans Hagen]

Hi, 

I just uploaded the preliminary versions of the metafun manuals. You can
access them vis the beta page:

www.pragma-ade.com/pragma-ade/beta.htm

Keep in mind that some functionality may change (improve). You need the
beta version of context to run things as described. 

The current version is far from complete and should not be redistributed.
The manual is meant to be printed / viewed in color.
