Figure Libraries

Figure Libraries

[David Arnold]

All,

I have chapter1.tex:


\startproduct chapter1

\project book

\startbodymatter

\setupheadnumber[chapter][0]

\chapter[chap:1]{Functions}

\component chapter1/section1

\component chapter1/section2

\component chapter1/section3

\component chapter1/section4

\stopbodymatter

\stopproduct

All the files for chapter1 are in a folder named chapter1, for  
example chapter1/section1.tex. All the figures for chapter1 are in  
chapter1/figures/.

section2.tex starts with:

\startcomponent section2

\project book
\product chapter1

\usemodule[newmat]
\usemodule[math-ext]
\usemodule[fig-base]
\usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection2]

\section[section:graph]{The Graph of a Function}

In chapter1/figures/figlibSection2.xml, there is:

<figure>
<file>sec2foura.png</file>
<label>foura</label>
<copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright>
<comment></comment>
</figure>

section4.tex starts with:

\startcomponent section4

\project book
\product chapter1

\usemodule[newmat]
\usemodule[math-ext]
\usemodule[fig-base]
\usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection4]

In chapter1/figures/figlibSection4.xml, there is:

<figure>
<file>sec4foura.png</file>
<label>foura</label>
<copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright>
<comment></comment>
</figure>

The difficulty was this. When I compiled chapter1.tex, the  
\externalfigure[foura] in section4.tex used the foura from  
figlibSection2.xml.

My workaround was to rename the second instance \externalfigure 
[sec4foura], but I am wondering a bit about this mechanism.

You really should use unique names for your figures, you know.
How else can you differentiate between the one in section 4
and the one in section 2?

Hi Hans,

Thank you for asking for the whole set of files. While looking for them 
I detected that the xml file was gone. Then a new set of files was 
prepared . Testing those however revealed that everything worked to 
expectation!

Sorry for the noise!

Re: Figure libraries

Hm,

Strange, I have no duplicate tree-segments. I have the distro in the 
texmf-local tree.
Even after reextractign the file I downloaded yesterday en regenerating 
the formats I get the same result except that the format gets the date 
of 20 march.

can you also send me the xml file and the graphic so that i can test it? 
context needs the xml file to relate the label to a page

btw, page 3 is fetched ok, the libs always opens at the page where the 
ref section starts

which makes me wonder ... maybe i should embed the xml file in the pdf 
file as well because one can extract it then, something to put on the 
wish list (collector/wiki)

No it does not, it reveals that you regenerated the november 30 format
on march 19, the version in context has definately changed. ;)

My guess is: you extracted the archive in the wrong place, and none
of it found by any of the runtime programs.

Hi Hans,

It seems that the figurelibrary mechanism is (still, previous post on 
19-9-2005) broken.

TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

               texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

                   tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.5)
--->               context : ver: 2005.11.30  (This is the latest 
version downloaded on 19-03-2006)
               cont-en : ver: 2005.11.30  fmt: 2006.3.19  mes: english

(The texexec --version reveals that the versionnumber in context has not 
been adjusted since the version 2005-11-30)


Referencing by "label" the picture is not found.
Referencing by page the wrong page is found.
Referencing the last picture in the file:  a fatal error occurs, that 
the page does not exits.

Please refer to the attached example files.

Could you please take a look at this matter?

Kind regards

Willi

Re: Figure libraries

Hi David,

yes you can. In your doc you can refer to the library's content either 
by symbolic names as given  in the library or by reference to a page in 
the library
\usemodule[fig-base]
\usefigurebase[mylibrary]
.....
{\externalfigure[mynicepicture][...]}

.....
{\externalfigure[mylibrary][page=xx]}

If you see them in the PDF, they're embedded. There's no such like  
linked pictures in a PDF.
(There may be linked media contents like movies, and PDF/X-2 was  
planned for incomplete PDF files, but the latter never got implemented.)

Figure libraries

[David Arnold]

All,

After you run:

figures $ texexec --pdf --use=fig-make --mode=letter figlibSection3.xml

are the figures embedded in figlibSection3.pdf? That is, could you  
now remove the files used to create figlibSection3.pdf?
