\setupTABLE commands?

\setupTABLE commands?

[Bruce D'Arcus]

I've been looking for a summary of available commands in \setupTABLE, 
but can't find it.  I had thought the following (modified from the 
nattab manual) would get me a table centered on the page, with spacing 
before and after, but it doesn't:

\definecolor[back-1][r=.8,g=.8,b=.4]
\definecolor[back-2][r=.8,g=.8,b=.6]
\definecolor[back-3][r=.8,g=.8,b=.8]
\setupTABLE[background=color,
frame=off,
framecolor=white,
location=middle,
spaecbefore=1*medium,
spaceafter=1*medium]
\setupTABLE[row][1] [rulethickness=2pt,bottomframe=on]
\setupTABLE[row][1] [backgroundcolor=back-1]
\setupTABLE[row][odd] [backgroundcolor=back-2]
\setupTABLE[row][even][backgroundcolor=back-3]

if you mean centered horizontally, it works if you use midaligned

looking for other good ways to accomplish same...

Ah, I wasn't being too clear.  i want to set up the table formatting in 
the document header, not within the text.  Should I then be using the 
\setuptables command instead?  I don't really understand the difference.

I don't understand the mechanisms very well, I've just spent a week
trying to figure out how to manipulate them...

You can put all the setup commands in the header/preamble, but, as far
as I can tell, its position on the page is not one of the properties a
table can have. That is what you are looking for? Maybe someone
knowledgable can correct my assumption.

On the other hand, with the \setup commands located in the preamble you
can still control the position of each table you insert. The position is
controlled locally, to the table being placed.

The following bit has your \setup commands, then three tables and a
little text, and it works as I think you intend:

%output=pdftex
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\definecolor[back-1][r=.8,g=.8,b=.4]
\definecolor[back-2][r=.8,g=.8,b=.6]
\definecolor[back-3][r=.8,g=.8,b=.8]
\setupTABLE[background=color,
frame=off,
framecolor=white,
location=middle,
spaecbefore=1*medium,
spaceafter=1*medium]
\setupTABLE[row][1] [rulethickness=2pt,bottomframe=on]
\setupTABLE[row][1] [backgroundcolor=back-1]
\setupTABLE[row][odd] [backgroundcolor=back-2]
\setupTABLE[row][even][backgroundcolor=back-3]
\midaligned{
\bTABLE
\bTR 
\bTD  04400 \eTD \bTD lish exist arra mar fl \eTD \bTD 5000\eTD  
\eTR 
\bTR 
\bTD  04400 \eTD \bTD pair \& exisfloor \eTD \bTD 1,500\eTD  
\eTR
\bTR 
\bTD  04400 \eTD \bTD x $\pm$ 4 5/8 arle bas \eTD \bTD 6,980 \eTD  
\eTR  
\eTABLE
}

The separation of any of these four components would have
hurt \TeX\ significantly. If I had not participated fully in
all these activities, {\rm literally hundreds of improvements
would never have been made, because} I would never have
thought of them or perceived why they were important.

\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD aaa\eTD \bTD b\eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD aaa\eTD \bTD b\eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 11\eTD \bTD 111\eTD \bTD 5555\eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 22\eTD \bTD 221\eTD \bTD 6655\eTD \eTR
\eTABLE

\midaligned{
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD aaa\eTD \bTD b\eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD aaa\eTD \bTD b\eTD \eTR

\bTR \bTD 22\eTD \bTD 221\eTD \bTD 6655\eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
}
\stoptext

Maybe a little closer...

Yes, and also the vertical spacing around the table.  Since I'm 
interested in typesetting DocBook files, I'd like to avoid having to 
specify this stuff locally (though maybe Simon has an elegant solution 
for these issues?).

The other reason I'm looking into tables now is because of these fonts 
I'm installing, which all have special tabular figures that I'd like to 
be able to use (in the same way I've set up the footnote fonts).

Thanks for the example doc, BTW!

you can do things like:

\definefloat [mytable] [mytables] [table]

\setupfloat[mytable][default={leftmargin,high,none},spacebefore=none,spaceafter=none]

\placemytable{}{\getbuffer}

(assuming that the table is in the buffer)

The bTABLE-eTABLE environment is a complete other environment than the
\startable-\stoptable environment.
I do not know whether \startable cum suis work in a header. I developed a
header with a table with the \bTABLE environment.

\setupheadertexts[][%
   {\hbox to \hsize
      {\switchtobodyfont[small]%
      %\setupframed
      %   [align=right,top=\vfill,bottom=,width=\makeupwidth,frame=off]%
      {\bTABLE
         \setupTABLE[frame=on]
         \setupTABLE[column][1][width=.65\textwidth]
         \setupTABLE[column][2][width=.35\textwidth]
         \bTR
            \bTD Document:
\bf\hfill\headnumber[part]~\getmarking[part][current] \eTD
            \bTD Page: \hfill \pagenumber~ of \aantalsubpaginas \eTD\eTR
       \eTABLE}}}]

If you need special subsets of pagenumbers you might want to have a look
into the mag-005.pdf in the  /temp directory of the pragma site (see also
mail sent by Hans yesterday)

I hope this can give you an idea how to proceed further....

better use something

\startbuffer[myheader]
....
\stopbuffer

with

\setupheadertexts[... \getbuffer ....]

or

\startsetups[myheader]
....
\stopsetups

\setupheadertexts[... {\setups[myheader]} ...]
