FLOWchart puzzles

FLOWchart puzzles

[Sytse Knypstra]

Hello all,

After studying the CHARTS manual I am glad to be able to construct some
simple charts. The example below is working ok.
Still there are some puzzles left:

1. How do you construct different types of connection (dashed, without
arrows, all in one chart (like in Figure 19, p.11 of the manual)? I know
that you can change the line styles for all lines that follow by
\setupFLOWlines, but what if some have to be with arrows, and others without
arrows and/or dashed? BTW, I use the dutch version of ConTeXt.

2.  I would like to try the \help command as described on p.16 of the
manual.
Where do you define the helptext and what command do you have to use in the
dutch version? Could someone add the necessary lines to the example below?

3. What is the function of maxwidth=... in \setupFLOWcharts. Changing its
value in the example below doesn't seem to have any effect. Is it possible
to scale the whole chart to e.g. half its original size?

4. In the manual the meaning of x and y in \setupFLOWcharts is not
explained.
Could someone explain them to me?

Thanks,

Sytse Knypstra

you can use grouping, so:

<begin of chart>
<some cells>
\start
<some settings>
<some cells>
\stop
<etc>

>3. What is the function of maxwidth=... in \setupFLOWcharts. Changing its

has to do with auto splitting charts

although technically you can downscale charts it's best to use a smaller 
body font (if you have you dimensions related to bodyfontsize) since this 
will leave thinsg like hyperlinks ok (in pdf hyperlinks are on a different 
layer which is not subjected to scaling [which in my opinion is a design flaw])

>4. In the manual the meaning of x and y in \setupFLOWcharts is not

>Could someone explain them to me?

you can clip a portion of a chart, say that you have a 10 by 20 chart, 
x/y/nx/ny == 2/4/3/3 let you select a 3 by 3 piece of it.

EC Fonts trouble and TeX Live

[Glenn R Williams]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2838 bytes --]

Hi All,

I just installed TeXLive on a Linux systems, and am having problems
creating a pdf file. Can anyone give any pointers on either installing
the ec-fonts (from TeXLive), or changing to default to use other that
"ec-". I must be forgetting a step, since no matter what I change,
ConTeXt still tries to use the ec- fonts.

TIA,

Glenn
------------------------- Run info ----------------------------------
When I run the file:

The system keeps trying to generate the ec fonts for this. Since TeXLive
doesn't turn these on as a default, I get these messages:

texfont - install family?

[Bruce D'Arcus]

Is there a simple command I can issue with texfont to install an entire  
font family?  Am hoping for something like the fontinst latinfamily  
command.

I have a new collection of 30 fonts, which includes a variety of  
weights, and SC and OsF.  There are no expert fonts per se, so I  
believe the texnansi encoding should work best.  I'm unclear on how  
texfont knows what font font is what though.  Do I need to rename the  
files, and if so, how?

I tried the following, but it didn't work:

bdarcus% texfont --install --vendor=linotype --collection=lsyntax  
--so="/Users/bdarcus/fontinst/LTSyntax Folder.1" --makepath  
--fontroot=/Users/bdarcus/Library/texmf LS*

What i normally do is something:

   mkdir e:\myfonts\lino\syntax

   chdir that dir

   copy flopies to that dir

and then run texfont

   texfont --vend=linotype --coll=lsyntax --make --install --enc=texnansi

spaces in path names are a bad idea !

here i have a texmffonts=e:/tex/texmf-fonts path

Re: texfont - install family?

[Bruce D'Arcus]

Ok, thanks.  It seems easier than I thought!  And when installing
multiple-master fonts, am I to understand texfont invokes mminstance to
actually generate the mm instances?  If that's the case, then one would need
to run texfont for each single instance that one wanted installed?

Re: FLOWchart puzzles

[s. knypstra]

Thank you Hans for solving a few of my puzzles.
For the moment I have one additional question: how do I provide a parameter
`dash=yes' in Dutch?
I found that for`arrow=no' I should use: `pijl=nee'.
Maybe the translation problem is also the reason why I don't get the help
facility (question 2) working.

streep=ja

[if you are not afraid of internals: in mult-con.tex, search for dash]

i'll check the help later; should work but needs sync; what version do you run?

right, since ther ecna be many alternatives (see type-buy.dat for calls; 
you can make a small batch file with some otional args taking axis

Sorry for another newbie question (this one on scripting), but...

Here is what is in the type-buy.dat file for Myriad (which is the font 
I am interested in):

# adobe myriad

--en=? --so=adobe/myriad --weight=400 --width=600 MyriadMM
--en=? --so=adobe/myriad --weight=700 --width=600 MyriadMM
--en=? --so=adobe/myriad --weight=400 --width=600 MyriadMM-It
--en=? --so=adobe/myriad --weight=700 --width=600 MyriadMM-It

--en=? --ve=adobe --co=myriad --so=adobe/myriad --ma --in MyriadMM-we*
--en=? --ve=adobe --co=myriad --so=adobe/myriad --ma --in 
MyriadMM-It-we*

--en=? --ve=adobe --co=myriad --so=adobe/myriad --sl=* MyriadMM-we*
--en=? --ve=adobe --co=myriad --so=adobe/myriad --ca=* MyriadMM-we*

Can someone please help me with the batch file (I've never written 
one), such that I get these basic fonts (normal and bold, plus the 
italic), along with, say, condensed versions of the same (let's say a 
width value of 400)?

Thanks,
Bruce

texfont can collect infro from dat files, but in your case you can:

(1) copy the files to a path, say d:\fonts\adobe\myriad

(2) go to that path

(3) say

texfont --en=texnansi --co=myriad --ve=adobe --weight=400 --width=600 MyriadMM

and alike, so replace the "--en..." and "--so=..." lines by "en/ve/co" ones

Right, but how do I deal with installing not just different weights, 
but different widths?  In the end, in other words, I want:

Myriad Regular			--weight=400  --width=600
Myriad italic				--wei	ght=400  --width=600
Myriad Bold				--weight=600  --width=600
Myriad Bold-Italic			--weight=600  --width=600

and...

Myriad Regular Condensed	--weight=400  --width=400
Myriad italic Condensed		--weight=400  --width=400
Myriad Bold Condensed		--weight=600  --width=400
Myriad Bold-Italic Condensed	--weight=600  --width=400

I actually want to install a few more variations, so the batch script 
you mentioned would be ideal, but as I said, I don't know how to write 
it.

just put lines into blabla.bat and run that file; add lines like:

....  --weight=%1 --width=%2

and run the script with

   blabla 400 600

(at least that works on win, dunno how to pass args in unix)
