Hi all,
a first version of the 'drops'-module (MkIV only) is available at
https://www.wuala.com/indiego/public/ConTeXt/drops/?key=caiCGLasLFmJ
Taken from the included documentation..
[..]
'drops' is a small extension for ConTeXt, that allows you to add drop
shadows to rectangular regions (so called boxshadows). A working
installation of ImageMagick (IM) is required to create the shadow
graphics. The supported color spaces are CMYK, RGB and Gray, the file
formats are limited to PNG and JPG.
[..]
Read the manual for detailed information.
The attached example is just a small test file for the 'rotation'
parameter (a compensation for the object rotation, so that the shadow
stays at the given direction). You will find other examples in the
documentation and there is also a 'pile' example with the complete
source. The 'presets' pdf contains the predefined setups for different
shadow (or frame) types and it's source is a good starting point for
your own experiments.
This is a first draft, but most things work quite stable. If you want to
help, test as much as possible. :-)
*You need a recent version of ImageMagick for this module.*
6.7.8-2 to 6.8.0-7 (wrong version info 6.8.0-6): used here, should work
6.7.6-0 or lower: will fail due to incompatibilities
7.0.0.0 alpha: untested ('magick' is used instead of 'convert')
Tested on Windows7 64bit and Debian 6.0.5-i386 (IM compiled from source)
Happy TeXing!
Peter
