Total number of figures/tables, etc.

Total number of figures/tables, etc.

[Oleg Kolosov]

Hi!

Is there are an easy way to get total number of pages/tables/figures
etc.? \getnumber[table] of \getnumber[figure] returns 0,
\getnumber[page] gives some irrelevant number. I've found command
\totalnumberofpages, is there are something similar for others? It would
be great to also automatically change the following word as in:

1 figure, but 2 figures

Is there support for that in ConTeXt?

No, but it is easy to define this on your own. To Hans: Is 
reading utilities not implemented in mkiv? The following works fine with 
mkii but not with mkiv.

\def\noffigures {1}

\def\savenoffigures
   {\savecurrentvalue{\noffigures}{\getnumber[figure]}}

\appendtoks \savenoffigures \to \everystoptext

\def\shownoffigures
   {\noffigures\ %
    \doifelse{\noffigures}{1}{figure}{figures}}

\starttext

This text has \shownoffigures.

\dorecurse{10}{\placefigure{something}{} \input knuth \endgraf }

\stoptext

in mkiv i load at everyjob time instead of everystarttext

this should work (patch in core-uti.mkiv) but i wonder why i used everyjob

% \to \everyjob
\to \everystarttext

As Hans explained the information is load earlier than in MkII but I can
show you why your definition can also fail in MkII.

\startcomponent myfile

\def\noffigures{1}

\def\savenoffigures
  {\savecurrentvalue{\noffigures}{\getnumber[figure]}}

\appendtoks \savenoffigures \to \everystoptext

\def\shownoffigures{\noffigures}

This text has \shownoffigures.

\dorecurse{10}{\placefigure{something}{figure}}

\stopcomponent

This results always in 1 for the total number of figures.

A better definition for the countervalue is:

\def\shownoffigures
  {\doifdefinedelse{noffigures}{\noffigures}{0}}

without the initial value for \noffigures.

Regards
Wolfgang

Re: Total number of figures/tables, etc.

[Hans Hagen]

maybe this works:

\ifx\noffigures\undefined

> \def\noffigures{1}

\fi
