customized item list symbol/graphic

customized item list symbol/graphic

HI All Contexters out there!

I'm a Guy from sweden who will appreciate a possible solution to 
following problem.

I'm interested in to do a personalized itemlist with a symbol created in 
metapost.

Here is an example:

\startuniqueMPgraphic{square}
draw roundedsquare(20,20,2) withrgbcolor (.625,0,0);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[square][\uniqueMPgraphic{square}]

\setupitemgroup
     [itemize]
     [1]
     [symbol=square]

\starttext


\startitemize[1,columns]
\dorecurse{10}{\item itempoint \par}
\stopitemize

\stoptext

This doesn't have any effect so my question is how do I manage this?

I did following as an alternative solution and it worked as I wanted but 
If I run this example the linebreak comes in to the next column(third 
item), which is not what I want. See example below!

\definedescription
    [task]
    [text=\uniqueMPgraphic{square}, width=broad]

\startcolumns
\dorecurse{5}{\task very long sentence i will now write to create this 
weird issue \par}
\stopcolumns



How do I prevent this, or is there a better solution?

Many thanks in advance

Janneman

\starttext

\section {First try to change symbol}
\startitemize[1,columns]
\dorecurse{10}{\item itempoint \par}
\stopitemize

\section {Next try to define an own description}

\startcolumns
\dorecurse{5}{\task very long sentence i will now write to create this weird issue \par}
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

There are two small problems with your example code:

> \defineoverlay[square][\uniqueMPgraphic{square}]

That line should read

   \definesymbol[square][\uniqueMPgraphic{square}]

as you need a symbol, not an overlay

> \startitemize[1,columns]

And this '1' should go away:

   \startitemize[columns]

because a '1' there is not a level, but a symbol identifier.

Best wishes,
Taco

Thanks that worked but how to manage more vertical whitespace?

Before and after the list you can set the vertical space with

\setupitemize
  [before={\blank[<dimension> or <keyword>]},
   after={\blank[<dimension> or <keyword>]}]

and between the individual items with

\setupitemize
  [inbetween={\blank[<dimension> or <keyword>]}]

None of the above setting worked for me. Even tried

\startitemize[columns,2*broad][inbetween={\blank[1cm]}]
...
...
\stopitemize

with no luck :-(

I've tested without the "columns" parameter and spacing works, seems to 
be a bug??
Too bad I want the columns!!

With the „columns“ keyword you get also packed items, to unset this
setting add „unpacked“ to your setup:

\startitemize[columns,unpacked,2*broad][inbetween={\blank[1cm]}]

Please make complete examples next time which can be used without
adding extra lines, e.g. this is what i used for your problem:

\starttext
\startitemize[columns,unpacked][inbetween={\blank[2*big]}]
\dorecurse{4}{\item text}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
