Extending the black circled numbers

Extending the black circled numbers

[nico]

Hello,

For those who know, I'm trying to have the DocBook callout mechanism with  
context. Basically, there are some numbers in lines of verbatim text, and  
below the verbatim text the numbers are used to explain the portion of the  
text (kind of footnote). Typically the numbers are rendered white in black  
circle. I could use the Dingbats numbers, but it is limited to 10, so that  
I emulated them with the following code to be able to go up to 99.

The questions I have:
- Is it the right way to do it in context (do I really need metafont?  
Simpler, smarter method?)
- What should I do to make them as anchors, so that it can be  
cross-referenced (I mean, one can click on a hot spot that jump to the  
number in the verbatim text).

Thanks for any hint,

\newdimen \cowidth

% Maximum size of the circle fits for number 99
\def\evalwidth%
   {\bgroup%
    \setbox0\hbox{\small\bf{\ss 99}}%
    \global\cowidth=1.2\wd0%
    \egroup}

% Background black circle
\startuniqueMPgraphic{CoCircle}
   fill fullcircle scaled \overlaywidth withcolor black ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[cocircle][\uniqueMPgraphic{CoCircle}]

% Display the black circled number
\def\conum#1%
   {\evalwidth%
    \framed[background=cocircle,strut=no,frame=off,
            width=\the\cowidth,height=\the\cowidth,offset=overlay]
            {\color[white]{\small\bf{\ss #1}}}}

\starttext

\dorecurse{99}{\conum{\recurselevel}, }

\stoptext

This is pretty smart, I'd say. Of course it would be better to have an
official font with encircled numbers for reasons of efficiency, but this
looks pretty good and the code is quite clean so i believe you did
well enough. One remark only: if you would know that want them all the
same size (beforehand), you can call \evalwidth only once.

Like this maybe:

   \def\markline#1%
     {\conum{#1}%
      \expanded{\textreference[line#1]{\noexpand\conum{#1}}}}
   \def\refline#1{\in{line }[line#1]}

   \dorecurse{99}{\markline{\recurselevel}, }
   \dorecurse{99}{\refline{\recurselevel}, }



Cheers, taco

Ok, thanks.

I tried this, but I had a weird behaviour with size (I have the same  
behaviour with the Hans example), and the other thing is that the size to  
use depends on the environment where you are. In the verbatim text (where  
I ask small font) the circled numbers must be smaller than in the current  
text flow.

Yes, it works fine! Thanks much!

I see here the Hans touch again: it's better and I don't really understand  
how it works :-)
But there's something strange: the first circle is greater than the others  
(but the numbers have all the same size). Tracing a bit I see that the  
first circle has a width=16.5333pt, the others 13.19997pt. What's the  
reason for this?

Thanks much!

It's exactly the one you gave. I attach the file I compile. Two mpruns; I  
attach the log too.

Same thing. I've found that I haven't the problem with producing dvi  
instead of pdf. I've limited the case to:

\starttext

\setbox\scratchbox\hbox
       {\small\ss\bf
        \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{99}%
        \hbox to 1.2\wd\scratchbox{\hss1\hss}}
\writestatus{co}{width=\the\wd\scratchbox}%

\setbox\scratchbox\hbox
       {\small\ss\bf
        \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{99}%
        \hbox to 1.2\wd\scratchbox{\hss1\hss}}
\writestatus{co}{width=\the\wd\scratchbox}%

\stoptext

With --output=pdftex I have the log:

Should I update something else? texexec --version gives:

Well, here is an even smaller test that shows the problem:

\starttext

\setbox0\hbox{\ss 99}
\writestatus{co}{width=\the\wd0}%

\setbox0\hbox{\ss 99}
\writestatus{co}{width=\the\wd0}%

\stoptext

It seems to be related to some font loading stuff, since when I don't put  
\ss I haven't this. So, if I put the following in the test I have no more  
the problem.

\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\ss 99} % workaround to fix the strange size  
initialization...

\starttext
   \dontleavehmode \dorecurse{99}{\conum{\recurselevel}, }
\stoptext

actually that file faile here because of a bug in pdftex that i ran into earlier todat (no text on the page, so an empty document, but an incomplete object being flushed)

strange, here it shows twice the same size 

\starttext
{\tracingall\setbox0\hbox{\ss 99}\the\wd0}
\stoptext 

may give some info where a blank space (or so) creeps in

Ok, you don't need to waste your time with this minor thing (that you  
cannot reproduce). Within the long verbose log there is:

{into \box0=
\hbox(8.333+0.0)x15.66658 []}
{vertical mode: \setbox}
{entering hbox group (level 2) at line 2}

In fact a second setbox after gives:

{leaving hbox group (level 2) entered at line 2}
{changing \box0=
\hbox(8.333+0.0)x15.66658 []}
{into \box0=
\hbox(8.333+0.0)x11.74997 []}
{vertical mode: end-group character }}

If you are still interested I can send you the full bzipped log (15KB),  
but you can stay at this step since I've an easy workaround. Thanks for  
your patience.

BG

Looking at the log, I've found blank spaces after "\pdfobj reserveobjnum"  
in enco-pfr.tex. Removing them makes the file compile ok (the bubbles are  
all the same :-).

\def\dodoincludepdffontresource
   {% does this font has an encoding specified vector
    \doifsomething\currentencoding % no \ifx
      {% is there a pdf font encoding resource file defined
       \ifcsname\pdffontresource\endcsname
         % (fake) object defined
       \else\ifcsname\pdffontfileresource\endcsname
         % is there a resource already included
         \doifsomething\pdffontfileresource
% -->     {\pdfobj reserveobjnum {}% <-- blank space
           {\pdfobj reserveobjnum{}%
            \setxvalue\pdffontresource{\the\pdflastobj}%
            \flushatshipout{\dododoincludepdffontresource{\currentencoding}}}%
%            \doglobal\appendetoks
%              \noexpand\dododoincludepdffontresource{\currentencoding}%
%            \to \everybeforeshipout}% prevent multiple loading
       \fi\fi
       \ifcsname\pdffontresource\endcsname
         \expanded{\pdffontattr\font{/ToUnicode  
\csname\pdffontresource\endcsname\space0 R}}%
         % do it only once for each font
         \letgvalue{\s!ucmap\fontfile}\empty
       \fi}}
...
\def\dodoincludepdffontresource
   {\doifsomething\currentencoding % no \ifx
      {\expandafter\ifx\csname\pdffontresource\endcsname\relax
         \expandafter\ifx\csname\pdffontfileresource\endcsname\relax\else
           \doifsomething\pdffontfileresource
% -->       {\pdfobj reserveobjnum {}% <-- blank space
             {\pdfobj reserveobjnum{}%
              \setxvalue\pdffontresource{\the\pdflastobj}%
              \flushatshipout{\dododoincludepdffontresource{\currentencoding}}}%
%              \doglobal\appendetoks

         \fi
       \fi
       \expandafter\ifx\csname\pdffontresource\endcsname\relax\else
         \expanded{\pdffontattr\font{/ToUnicode  
\csname\pdffontresource\endcsname\space0 R}}%
         % do it only once for each font
         \letgvalue{\s!ucmap\fontfile}\empty
       \fi}}

indeed ... that code has been 'adapted' to the latest pdftex recently; 

clever deduction, once you can read such logs, you're an expert
