I've decided to bite the bullet and do my presentations in ConTeXt
this term. So far, I'm quite satisfied. I've done only very basic
stuff so far (if you're interested, you can have a look at http://
www.uni-bonn.de/www/Philologie/Personal/Schmitz/Dateien.html ), but I
like the result. The background is just a pdf-image that I created
with metapost and reused as a page background (I found this was
faster and easier than recalculating it every time...)
Things I would like to know:
I like the idea of having the small bar showing at which place in the
presentations we are (such as in pre-colorful). I'd like it very
minimal, though: maybe just grey squares, with the current position
being white or yellow. I have a hunch that this could be achieved
with \setupinteractionbar, but this command is a bit underdocumented.
Hints, anybody?
I am still at a loss how to achieve one thing in ConTeXt that was
pretty easy in Keynote or (shudder) Powerpoint: When I wanted to
highlight something on a map or a picture, I would just draw a red
circle around it. What would be the proper way to do this in ConTeXt?
Adding a layer with a red circle drawn in Metapost, then positioning
it by trial and error? Or can anyone point to a better solution?
And lastly: I have never seen transitions working on OS X (both
Apple's Preview and Adobe Reader 7.0). Can anybody confirm that they
got this working on other systems?
Sorry for the long post. I'm hoping for some enlightenment.
Best
Thomas

What kind of picture do you have? If you have .jpg/.png/..., you can
get (x,y) position of the pixel where the center of circle should be.
One possibility is to create a new metapost figure and draw the circle
on it using the measured coordinates:
(This circles the blue tulip on
http://contextgarden.net/images/6/65/Kochloewe_c.jpg.)
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{CircleBlueTulip}
% center point
pair size, c;
% figure will be 10 cm wide
scale := 10cm/400;
% center of the blue tulip is on (219,333), image is 400*460
size := (400,460) scaled scale;
c := (222,460-330) scaled scale;
% diameter of the circle should be 50 pixels
d := 50scale;
pickup pencircle scaled 2pt;
externalfigure "Kochloewe_c.jpg" xyscaled size;
draw fullcircle scaled d shifted c withcolor red;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{CircleBlueTulip}
\stoptext
I believe there exists a more straightforward way if you make
uniqueMPgraphic and specify coordinate fractions of the circle to be
drawn, but if you say:
\framed[background=SomeGraphicWithACircle]{\externalfigure[Kochloewe_c][width=10cm]},
the circle (if any) is drawn behind the figure and cannot be used as
such. Unless you specify the figure in a new layer and draw both
layers in the proper order.
In this case it would be fine to have a \framed[...foreground=...] command :)

They work in Windows XP (I'n not sure if they're also working using
ConTeXt commands). But they are so ugly that you don't want to use
them.

Use
\framed
[background={foreground,BgFront}]
{\externalfigure[Kochloewe_c][width=10cm]}}
Define your picture as BgFront. 'foreground' is fixed word that
identifies layer 0 (text). So you can stack bacground as follow:
background={...,MyLayer-2,MyLayer-1,foreground,MyLayer1,MyLayer2,...}

Uau! Thanks a lot for a very nice hint. So you can make something like that:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\setupMPvariables[CircleSomething][dimension={(100,100)},center={(50,50)},r=10]
\startuseMPgraphic{CircleSomething}
pair dimension, center;
% TODO: this also has to be passed as parameter!!!
% now it stands for: width=10cm
scale := 10cm/(xpart \MPvar{dimension});
picture bboxpicture;
dimension := \MPvar{dimension} scaled scale;
center := \MPvar{center} scaled scale;
r := \MPvar{r}*scale;
pickup pencircle scaled 2pt;
% proper bounding box
fill unitsquare xyscaled dimension;
bboxpicture := currentpicture;
currentpicture := nullpicture;
draw fullcircle scaled (2*r) shifted center withcolor red;
setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox bboxpicture;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[CircleBlueTulip][\uniqueMPgraphic{CircleSomething}{dimension={(400,460)},center={(222,460-330)},r=25}]
\defineoverlay[CircleRedTulip][\useMPgraphic{CircleSomething}{dimension={(400,460)},center={(148,460-330)},r=25}]
\framed[background={foreground,CircleBlueTulip},offset=0pt,strut=no]{\externalfigure[Kochloewe_c][width=10cm]}

So, do you get any real output (besides the image)? I cannot see any
circles in the pdf.

Thanks. There must be something wrong with my setup/version at home.
I'll check again.

I compiled the file attached in Mojca's mail. Except that I do not have
the Kochloewe_c picture it works. So I get the gray dummy background and
on each page a red circle. Although there is the mentioned mix up it
seems not to harm the result. After changing the use of the command it
still works.
This test was performed with Context january 2005 and Pdfetex ...20a.

Excuse me, I started with an "unique" graphic and had to change into
"use" graphic as it didn't work. Later on I forgot to change it on one
place, but it worked anyway.

BTW this picture was drawn by my former wife for a "ConTeXt cookbook"
project that rests in peace.
I never could convince her to draw some gardening lions for
ConTeXtgarden.
At the moment I know noone who can draw and would do it for free (and
I can't really draw myself).
Any artists here around?
My idea was a lion with watering can (and perhaps an apron) watering
three tulips (red, black and blue) with a fence (garden!) in the
background.
You could think of more similar pictures, perhaps featuring
characters as garden plants, Meta the lioness having Meta-Fun
(juggling?), lion de-bugging (with insecticide?)...
I don't like the original TeX drawings by Duane Bibby so much, and I
think we should use a different style for ConTeXt.
I like the cooking lion, but I could image something completely
different like pragma vector art, oil painting, manga style etc. ;-)
But it should keep a certain quality level, matching ConTeXt itself.
The artwork must not infringe any copyrights, so please don't scan
anything printed! On the other hand the artist must agree to put her/
his work under the GNU free doc license.
I'd really appreciate good artwork for the garden and would be glad
to help with scanning, cleaning, logo-ing, perhaps animating etc.
Grüßlis vom Hraban!

Mojca,
I think I never actually said thanks for this wonderful trick you
taught us! It's wonderful, and I'm still experimenting with it. For
the time being, it's still very much trial and error to position the
circle, but I'll learn. Now I'd be so happy if someone (well I guess
Hans) could teach me how to have this neat progressbar that's in pre-
color on my own slides; I don't seem to be able to isolate the code
that produces it.
Thanks a lot, and all best
Thomas

Do you mean those "funny little things" which run from the beginning
to the end as the presentation runs from the first towards the last
slide?
There are "PageNumber" and "NOfPages" variables defined somewhere in
metafun. So you can say something like:
if(NOfPages > 2) and (PageNumber > 0):
fraction := (PageNumber-1)/(NOfPages-1)
else:
fraction := 1;
fi;
And then you can do with it whatever you want. You can for example
change slide colour:
SlideColour := fraction[\MPcolor[my color 1],\MPcolor[my color 2]];
or draw a progress bar:
fill unisquare xscaled fraction xyscaled size withcolor red;
draw unitsquare xyscaled size;
An alternative are \pageno and \lastpage, defined inside ConTeXt.
Hope this helps,

Mojca,
thanks again, that's a useful trick! However, there is a command
\interactionbar which seems to provide this functionality, and there
is \setupinteractionbar, but the commands are somewhat
underdocumented :-)
At least, I don't get any visible output on my slides when I include
them; there seems to be some kind of secret...
(Your code doesn't compile here, it dies with this message:
This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.5.4)
(p-mpgraph.mp
>> NOfPages-2
! Unknown relation will be considered false.
<to be read again>
)
l.118 if(NOfPages > 2)
and (PageNumber > 0): fraction :=
(PageNumber-1)/(NOf...
?
Thanks, and best
Thomas

if you want access to those variables (some of them only make sense at pag ebuilding time) you need to say:
LoadPageState ;
(this is done automatically in StartPage ... StopPage)

Thanks Hans! What about a small refresher about \interactionbar cum
suis. Could you post a minimal example of what is needed to get
output from it? I tried with a couple of combinations of
\setupinteraction[state=start] and \setupinteractionbar
[alternative=d] etc, but I'm not getting any output on my pdf's. I'd
be very grateful!

Dear all: Sorry if this question is not appropriate for this forum - I am
a newbie, I tried to read at least one month's worth of emails, and...
I do not come to this list from the perspective of an author, who can
afford to give his work huge amounts of time till it is set just right. I
come here from the perspective of a publisher/editor (Indiana University
Mathematics Journal), where the outlook is quite different: You take
many papers (LaTeX source files), written by people whose expertise ranges
from spaghetti-TeX to guru-TeX, and you "massage" them to conform to the
Journal format and to make them look as nice as possible. (Perfection
remains always on the horizon - you got to meet the printers' deadlines.)
That said by way of introduction, I am contemplating a move for the IUMJ
away from LaTeX to ... I have two reasons to recommend abandoning LaTeX:
(1) LaTeX's conversion to other formats (excluding PDF) is laborius
and falls very short of the ideal, and (2) long-term
archiving and long-term reusability in settings we may not even envisage
at this time forces me to think XML... XML... XML.
So, I have been delving into ConTeXt, and I like its syntax: far
"cleaner" than LaTeX. I have also read that there is work in progress
to convert XML to ConTeXt --- my question is, any thoughts, hints,
recommendations about reverse-engineering, that is, from ConTeXt to
XML? If the IUMJ switched production to ConTeXt, we would still want
to preserve on "archival" copy in XML.
(As of now we translate LaTeX to XML using "hermes", but it would
not work with ConTeXt.) If nothing is contemplated in the
area of *from ConTeXt to XML", might this strategy work
ConTeXt -> pdf - pdf to XML ?
I apologize if the topic is off bounds, and will be grateful if anyone
decides to think outloud on this subject. Best, elena

I'm reminded of a presentation that Kaveh Bazargan (from River Valley
Technologies) gave at the PracticalTeX 2004 conference on a LaTeX/XML
process they use, but unfortunately he hasn't provided any paper to go with
his presentation.
One of the things, though, that I specifically remember was that, since
they also were archiving XML, their process specifically converted the
authors' LaTeX to XML (specifically with the mathematics in MathML, rather
than as embedded LaTeX as I know some publishers do), and then converted
that from XML back to LaTeX and thence to PDF (or Postscript, possibly) for
actual production -- thus guaranteeing that the archival XML would in fact
reproduce the production versions exactly.
With a workflow like that, I'm not certain how much conversion from ConTeXt
to XML will be necessary -- you'll probably, at least for the time being,
still be getting author submissions in LaTeX. You could then convert that
to XML using a version of your present process, adjust the XML as needed to
fit your standards, archive the XML, and then dump the XML into an
automated sort of process that converts it to ConTeXt and thence to PDF,
html, and whatever else you need.
The only requirement, then, is that the XML -> ConTeXt -> PDF workflow not
involve any manual adjustments to the ConTeXt code -- all manual changes
would need to be made in the XML. (That may be a good idea anyway, as it
guarantees that the XML is always the "true" version.)

I suspect that, insofar as it worked, you'd probably lose most of the
metadata (this is a section header, this is a subsection header, etc.)
unless it was a PDF to XML converter that was very specific to your
particular PDF files.
...
On a different note, it may be worth pointing out that ConTeXt's support
for typesetting of complicated equations -- that is, the sort of stuff for
which one really wants the AMSmath package in LaTeX -- really isn't
especially great; it's pretty much limited to the capabilities of Plain
TeX. I'm currently working (very slowly) on trying to improve this by
doing a port of AMSmath to ConTeXt, but I have no idea how compatible that
will be with ConTeXt's MathML/XML support, nor when I'd have it to a point
where it would be ready for production work.
The other alternative I know of for doing math in XML is embedding bits of
LaTeX code within the XML. Since most "conversion to non-PDF formats"
involves converting the math to bitmap images anyway (or, at least, any
conversion to HTML for the web does!), I don't think that's really
complicating things much. It's certainly possible in theory to embed
LaTeX-coded equations in ConTeXt, and there's a small bit of comment on
this on the Wiki. In practice, it may take a bit of coding to make work,
but the amount won't be excessive.
...
And, on yet a third note, you might find it useful to talk to Steve
Grathwohl at the Duke University Press -- he was also at the PracticalTeX
2004 conference, and had clearly "caught the ConTeXt bug", and I suspect he
may well have some useful practical experience in this area.

Thanks again, Hans! I just figured out how to do it by experimenting
with s-pre-01.tex. The key was
\setuplayout[bottom=12pt] % or some dimension
Without it, I'd get no bar, but now it works, and it looks just
amazing! I'm looking forward to my next presentation!!

there is a math module (m-math) and a new implementation of that (m-newmat) which does quite some ams math;
i have no problem with adding more code but each time i ask for specs, nothing comes up -)

There are several things involved in such a translation
- the general structure, this is not that hard and can easily be scripted
- special characters, also easy to script
- special markup, like math, chemistry etc
concerning math, one can use:
- content mathml, which is very structured and configurable
- presentation mathml, which looks like tex, and does not always lead to
nice looking output
- embedded tex, which is ok
as a start one can consider "structure in xml and embedded tex for
formulas", its not that hard to generate web pages from that
i'm considering adding open math support (needed for a project)
> ConTeXt -> pdf - pdf to XML ?
the best way is:
xml -> context
xml -> html
xml -> anything
normally magazines are not that complex so oen can use context's direct
mapping; depending on the amount of manipulations, one can
xml -> context reading xml -> pdf
xml -> xslt -> xml -> context reading xml -> pdf
xml -> xslt -> context code -> context reading tex -> pdf
in any case, try to cut the problem into small parts and find solutions
for that; so far i never ran into things/demands that could not be solved

no problem, if you want to know more you can either use this list (it
could also be a nice thread for those who want to do similar things)
if you don't want to bother the list., you may also mail me directly
pdf is pages while xml is structured markup, so converting pdf into xml
is non trivial,
(btw, the dutch math societies journal is made up in context, i.e. non
standard layout (2/3 columns, grayscales, two non cm font sets,
graphics, pictures etc; the main reason why we now have the columnsets
mechanism-)

Hi Elena
Concerning the math and xml, it all depends on what kind of math is
used. In most cases some tex -> presentation mathml results in sub
optimal results. One of the advantages of context is that one can
easilly modulate on layouts, so for publishing on the web one can as
well use pdf in a more screen/navigation friendly layout. It's no real
problem to generate multiple instances from one document using
processing modes. That way you get quality on paper and on screen.

It does some, yes, though not (yet) the multiline alignment parts that I need.

Yeah, I know. The specs for what I need are "I've got this pile of
equations written in LaTeX with the AMSmath package, and I'd like to be
able to copy them back and forth between LaTeX and ConTeXt without needing
to edit them." I'm slowly working on reducing that to something that's
actually useful as specifications (and as some code), and I hope to get
some of that to you within the next few months or so.
