Hi:

I am not able to run presentation styles correctly yet. I am not sure what 
make which "kpsewhich texmf.cnf".

Anyway I send you a zip file with the result of my compilation for you can 
reproduce the problem.

Could you help me, please?

Thanks.

Hi Aditya,

this seems to be very nice. That is indeed what I was looking for.

Does provide ConTeXT something like the \only environment for it’s JAVA script magic, too? That would be interesting also.

Apart form that I am still interested about the answer to the following problem out of my original email (but of course you solved the slides as single PDF pages problem for me):

> Besides that, it would be nice, too, to be able to configure the step mechanism in a way that the arrow keys of the keyboard unfold the next step (instead of hitting the mouse button). Is there any possibility to do that (if it would be, I would in deed prefer the ConTeXt approach to steps before the LaTeX one with several pages per slide)?
> 
> Apart from that, I have noticed that viewing the steps the first time disables them if you go back in the presentation. This means there is no way to go back that preserves the steps as such (or I was not able to found that way :-) ). (Especially it does not seem to be able to go back one step.)
> It would be more intuitive if going forward and backward followed the same steps. Another way to achieve something like that would be a reset button for each page that resets the step behaviour after having viewed the slide and it steps for the first time (in a way that for second viewing the steps mechanism could be reset).


The truly best solution would be if ConTeXt provides an option for its stepping module that enables the single PDF approach passing some command to the module (and if it provides something like the only command and explicit numbers for the steps as you do in your own module). Since it would be very nice to be able to switch between JAVA script and single PDF approach in one and the same document (since the JAVA script approach is one of it’s own elegance).

Thank you very much!

Mathias

I use a personal module to get this behavior. It is not as feature rich as 
beamer's \pause (you need to manually annonate stuff using \STEP 2 { ... } 
etc.; but it serves my purpose). Have a look at some of my recent 
presentations at http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~amahaj1/talks.html for 
examples.

If this is something that you are looking for, see 
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg83683.html for the 
code.

[Mathias Schickel]

Dear ConTeXt users,

me again. I tried to send this emails before, but it seemed to be blocked, because I attached a sample file that seemed too big.

This time I have a question concerning presentations. I was not able to figure out how I can define presentation steps in a way that each step is shipped as a single PDF page in the output. By this I mean steps in one slide that unfold step by step by moving on to the next pdf page. (This means one slide is represented in the PDF as a whole bunch of pages.)
The command \StartSetps and \FlushStep does something like that, but this seems to use some JAVA script magic that only works using Adobe Acrobat (and the steps are unfolded by hitting the mouse button and not by going on to the next PDF page).
How can it be modified in a way that a new page per step is created containing the next step in a way that going to the next pdf page unfolds the next step?

You can get an example using (code out of the file present-stepper-001.tex out of the distribution)

\usemodule[present-stepper]

\starttext

\Topic{Female Artists}

\StartSteps

\startitemize
\item Fiona Apple \FlushStep
\item Tori Amos \FlushStep
\item Kate Bush \FlushStep
\item Heather Nova \FlushStep
\item Alanis Morissette \FlushStep
\item Suzanne Vega \FlushStep
\stopitemize

\StopSteps

\stoptext

I really like the step solution ConTeXt uses but it would be nice to be able to switch between the (supposed) JAVA script solution and the presentation of a the steps of a slide as several pages.

Besides that, it would be nice, too, to be able to configure the step mechanism in a way that the arrow keys of the keyboard unfold the next step (instead of hitting the mouse button). Is there any possibility to do that (if it would be, I would in deed prefer the ConTeXt approach to steps before the LaTeX one with several pages per slide).

Apart from that, I have noticed that viewing the steps the first time disables them if you go back in the presentation. This means there is no way to go back that preserves the steps as such (or I was not able to found that way :-) ). (Especially it does not seem to be able to go back one step.)
It would be more intuitive if going forward and backward followed the same steps. Another way to achieve something like that would be a reset button for each page that resets the step behaviour after having viewed the slide and it steps for the first time (in a way that for second viewing the steps mechanism could be reset).

Apart form that the beamer package of LaTeX knows some commands like \only<[number of slide]>{<content>} that places the content in the brackets {} on the slide only at slide number [number of slide]. Does ConTeXt have a command like that?

Thank you for your assistance!

Kind regards
Mathias Schickel

You're using MiKTeX. Open texexec.ini and find the line

for  miktex  set  TeXPassString     to  --alias=context

and add --enable-write18 so that it looks like

for  miktex  set  TeXPassString     to  --alias=context --enable-write18

Hi;

Thanks Hans. Unfortunately my system have not a file called texmf.cnf. Is 
this a MikTeX file or a ConTeXt file? Could I download it from some place? 
In which directory I must copy the file?

The following code syncs sounds with pages

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext

\useexternalsoundtrack[dooropen][dooropen.wav]
\useexternalsoundtrack[doorslam][doorslam.wav]

% new : \setupexternalsoundtracks[option=repeat]

\setupinteraction[openpageaction=StartSound{dooropen}] test \page
\setupinteraction[openpageaction=StartSound{doorslam}] test \page

\stoptext
.
I added option=repeat (a few lines patch; will be in next beta) so that one 
can now habe ambient sounds too.

Hello, 

I just started using Context again after a rather long break. I'm
working on a presentation. I know it's possible to include movies in
pdf files using ConText, but is it possible to add some background
noise from a sound file to a sequence of screens and synchronize them
somehow? 

All Best

i've attached an example of how to write something like that; actually it's 
a simplified version of one of the more recent presentation styles (no. 29, 
still to be documented); this example also demonstrates how you can 
(mis)use layers so i guess that for instance source code lovers like GB 
will like it -)

i will look into pres steps later, since i have to make it robust for acro 5

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi,

i would like to make a presentation with the following feature:

item 1

item 2 

item 3

first, item 1 is displayed in black and the other two items in 
grey. Second the first and second items are displayed in black 
and number three in grey and at last, all three items are 
displayed in black.

And, as an additional problem:
is it possible to define two colors a and b and another color c
which is "in the middle" of a and b? Something like c=(a+b)/2? 
That is for the problem above where the shadowed items should 
not be displayed in grey but in the color that is closer to the 
current backgroundcolor.

As far as I have seen, the \presentationstep does not do this. (module
pre-general)
(And, additionally it seems to be broken if one goes to the 
beginning of the document and try to do the steps 
again.)

Viele Grüße,

  Patrick Gundlach
