tree charts

tree charts

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear cabal,

Do any of you have any examples of tree charts done in, say, MetaFun? Are  
there any macros, libraries etc. for easy tree charts in \ConTeXt?

Example:

There are three ways you can do it in ConTeXt

1) Most features: pstricks (yes pstricks can be used with context, but 
you always have to go the ps->pdf route)

2) Easiest syntax and prettiest looking output: tikz. You need one of 
the recent versions of tikz that work fine with context (except some 
of the exotic features, like adding arbitrary nodes to the page)

3) A very flexible system, but it takes a while to get used to the 
syntax: Metaobj. You also need a workabound to get metaobj to run 
correctly with metafun (search the mailing list for Taco's 
reply on a mail with metaobj in the subject)

For things like this, my personal recommendation will be tikz. It is 
not as powerful as metapost, since all the calculations are done in 
tex, but the user interface is slightly easier to use than metapost, 
and it has a good looking library of functions.

If you need something, quick and dirty, plain metapost with boxes 
package will also work. There is also the flowchart module, but I do 
not think that it can draw diagonal lines.

I used pstricks for this purpose for my dissertation years ago (LaTeX,  
dvips). It's been years since I used pstricks, does not seem too popular  
with ConTeXt, dvips does not work well with ConTeXt virtual fonts, etc....

Never heard of it; will look it up

Will look this up as well, though I don't look forward to yet another  
syntax (still need to get used to metapost ;-)

Yes, otherwise that module would be the ticket. Maybe someone will extend  
it someday; I think a tree-chart module is at least just as important as  
one for flow charts.

THANK YOU for the info!

This looks like a really nice package. The following, howeve, cracked me  
up (manual, page 67):

"This special module is necessary since ConTeXt satanically restricts the  
length of module names..."

This was true until about the beginning of 2005. I do not know when 
Till Tantau first tried to port pgf to context. A while back I told 
him that this is no longer true for ConTeXt .... but there has not 
been a new release of the manual for a while.

I also found the following to be funny:

<quote>
2.2.3 Setting up the Environment in ConTEXt
Karl’s uncle Hans uses ConTEXt. Like Gerda, Hans can also use TikZ.
</quote>


If you decide to try it, check out the code from CVS rather than from 
CTAN. There have been some changes since version 1.10, many of them 
improve the compatibility with ConTeXt (colors, etc.)

hm, that restriction has been dropped quite some time ago but there is 
the restriction that a third party module must start with t-

also, names can (and could) be remapped from long to short etc

quick question

[David C. Walden]

Is there an easy way in ConTeXt to do the equivalent of
    \enlargethispage{1\baselineskip}
in LaTeX?

Btw, Willy Egger has a hard cover version of that manual which me might 
like to take to the context meeting.

I'd like to see a better integration of this package with ConTeXt. For  
example, hooking it into the ConTeXt color mechanism (unless you guys have  
some tricks up your sleave you'ld like to share ;-) I could not get global  
text color within a TikZ environment without individually coloring every  
node...

If a color is defined using ConTeXt's definecolor it can be used with 
tikz. Here is an example (adapted from the tikz manual)

\usemodule[tikz]
\definecolor[mycolor] [g=.75,r=.15,b=.5]

\starttext

\start[tikzpicture]
       [parent anchor=east,child anchor=west,grow=east]
\tikzstyle{every node}=[ball color=mycolor,circle,text=white]
\tikzstyle{edge from parent}=[draw,dashed,thick,red]
\node {root}
       child {node {left}}
       child {node {right}
       child {node {child}}
       child {node {child}}
};
\stop[tikzpicture]

\stoptext

debian tikz module

[plink]

Hi,

when testing the small example from the tikz manual, I got this
... module tikz not found
error, texexec stopping with undefined \tikzstyle. On a fresh debian 
installation, that is.
I seem to remember this error from some earlier tryouts but not the 
solution.

Anyone for a hint?

Thanks,
Jak.

You need to install the tikz module. Download tikz from the 
sourceforge website or CTAN, and unzip it in a temporary directory. 
Then you need to correct the directory structure to conform to TDS. 
There are some instructions in the tikz manual.

You will also need to install xkeyval, in case your installation does 
not have it.

Since tikz module is not found, these will be missing.

ConTeXt compatibility was added recently (4-5 months ago). I do not 
know whether debian stable has it or not. Maybe first you should try 
to update the tex installation using debian methods (I do not know 
those).

Ok, I got confused by something the manual said about color (p. 108); I  
thought that non-LaTeX users had to use \definecolor{} which crashes on  
context...

With texlive and pgf (which contains tikz) from testing and latest
context (2007.01.23-3) from unstable, the tikz module is found, but
still it does not work. Log attached.

Your log file says

system          : module tikz loaded
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/plain/pgf/frontendlayer/tikz.tex

which means that it is finding tikz.tex (plain support) rather than 
t-tikz.tex (context support)

On my system (Windows+mswincontext) I get

system          : module tikz loaded
(e:/isoimage/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-project/tex/context/pgf/frontendlayer
t-tikz.tex

followed by loading of a lot of files under tex/context/pgf...

What does
  kpsewhich t-tikz.tex
give on your system. If it is not found, it may mean that either pgf 
is not uptodate or not installed correctly.

Re: debian tikz module

[Johan Sandblom]

It reports nothing, which is disturbing since

locate t-tikz.tex gives
/usr/share/texmf/context/pgf/frontendlayer/t-tikz.tex

I suppose this indicates some change is needed in texmf.cnf?

Changing \usemodule[tikz] to \usemodule[t][tikz] did not help.

Re: debian tikz module

[plink]

Thanks Aditya, I noticed just after sending my post that I had removed 
the debian pgf package before, because it didn't work with ConTeXt.

After reinstalling it I noticed however, that nothing had changed 
recently. It still works with LaTeX but the ConTeXt support realized in 
the current pgf-version (for unstable debian) is still not working, 
which - given that it is still based on 1.09 upstream pgf/tikz - may 
seem as no suprise.

A quick and *very dirty* installation of 1.10 worked fine with ConTeXt, 
so hopefully the next pgf-debian release has that ConTeXt support built in.

Hm, this is strange.  On my system (Debian with TeXLive 2005, without
the separate context package, but that shouldn't matter), it isn't found
either: 

(517)[21:48:19]frank@riesling:~$ kpsewhich --progname=context t-tikz.tex
(518)[21:48:24]frank@riesling:~$ ls /usr/share/texmf/context/pgf/frontendlayer/t-tikz.tex 
/usr/share/texmf/context/pgf/frontendlayer/t-tikz.tex
(519)[21:48:30]frank@riesling:~$ grep t-tikz.tex /usr/share/texmf/ls-R 
t-tikz.tex
(520)[21:48:32]frank@riesling:~$

but it should.  As shown above, it's in the ls-R database, and it's in
the search patch for context:

$ kpsewhich --progname=context tikz.tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex/plain/pgf/frontendlayer/tikz.tex

(521)[21:49:41]frank@riesling:~$ kpsewhich --progname=context --show-path=tex | sed -e 's/:/\n/g' | grep /usr/share/texmf
!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/context//
!!/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/context//
!!/usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/context//
!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/plain//

So t-tikz.tex is definetely earlier than tikz.tex.  Next thing would be
to run kpsewhich with --debug, but I don't have time for this ATM.

I'd second this. For some reason PGF/TikZ is rather appealing to me  
right now. Although clearly MetaPost/Fun can do it all, it is (or at  
least seems) more daunting. Perhaps the beautiful examples for TikZ  
are closer to what I need "out of the box" (graphs of various kinds)  
than the beautiful examples from MetaFun.

                   ^ shouldn't there be a 'tex' path component?

Then it would be in the serch path for ConTeXt.

My understanding is that the m-pstric module allows direct use of 
pstricks in Context, and handles the mechanics of conversion from 
dvips to ps to pdf by an extra pass. 

(However I am often wrong.)

Bug#394613: [NTG-context] debian tikz module

[Frank Küster]

Ohura-san, 

any plans to fix this bug?  It was again noticed on the ConTeXt mailing
list; in Debian, tikz.tex is found earlier than t-tikz.tex, and
therefore there's no tikz support for ConTeXt.

(or rather, it would be before anything in tex/context, tex/plain and
tex/generic, and no longer at random order with respect to other things
in the whole tree; TEXMF//) is also included.

I didn't notice the missing component.  That is bug #394613 in pgf.

It appears to be fixed in 1.10, no?

Hm, is it fixed?  From the bug log and attached patch, it rather seemed
to be an error in the Debian packaging.
