Hi again;),
this won't work:
\placefigure[right]{none}{\starttikzpicture
\draw (0,0) -| (2,2) -| (0,0) -- (2,2)
(2,0) -- (0,2)
(1,1) circle(1);
\stoptikzpicture}
(some text...)
The tikzpicture apparently extends to the whole text width, resulting in
an overfull box (and nasty paragraph formatting). Putting it into an
\hbox helps, so I know what to do; the question is, _why_ this works
that way?

I am quite fond of pfg/tikz as a drawing package that works rather well with plain tex, latex and context. Asymptote is a similar tool, but it seems to be less portable. However, it appears on the other hand to be much more powerful for 3D. Neverless, I am sharing with this context list an impressive tikz example -- Alan Braslau CEA DSM-IRAMIS-SPEC CNRS URA 2464 Orme des Merisiers 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette cedex FRANCE tel: +33 1 69 08 73 15 fax: +33 1 69 08 87 86 mailto:alan.braslau@cea.fr http://www-dna2006.cea.fr/ .''`. : :' : `. `'` `- that I have adapted to context.

I think the module is still there. Maybe you can have a look. In fact u3d and prc are similar, maybe you can try the same way. But I have no idea how to create a asy-tex interface like tex-mp [Moreover, I prefer to extend mp to 3-dimension, I look at the c code, it is not impossible:)].

Yes, I know that Renaud Aubin has u3d usable by ConTeXt. That's very impressive. I will check that if I can get Asymptote compiled and work with ConTeXt, although I don't think that necessary because labeled figures often appears in 2D version. If metapost could provide 3D figures, that will be great. But I don't think Hans and Taco like that idea because prc isn't a standard yet maybe. > > Yue Wang > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Since Asymptote 1.44 has been released, I don't have to compile it myself. So I played a little bit and find out that if I don't want labels nor produce a pdf format of that image, I can live without LaTeX. That's kind of a good news. If I want to embed the .prc file into a pdf document, all I need to do is specify the correct /Subtype and mime type. That's very easy. I think creating 3D presentations without any commercial or mouse- clicking-GUI interface becomes realistic now. -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

And many nice things can be done via properties of the 3D object embedded into PDF. Consult latest PDF reference. You may look at libharu U3D code (it handles PRC too) and my embedder (it needs libconfig from http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/ and libharu from libharu.org) from http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/u3dembedder.tgz Sincerely, Michail ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread
