Hi all!
Is there a possibility to specify proportional column widths when using
natural tables?
E.g. If i want to set column 1 and 2 to have 2/7 and column 3 3/7 of the
available broadth.
\setupTABLE[column][1][width=2*]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=2*]
\setupTABLE[column][3][width=3*]
Thanks for your attention,
--Stefan

Hi Stefan,
It is probably not quite logic, but replacing the "bottom" option with
"low" solves the problem
Kind regards

Hi Stefan
sorry for sending an answer to your previous mail as reply to this one....
You can determin columnwidths by saying "width=.3\textwidth" or
"width=.3\makeupwidth" or even though less ConTeXty "width=.3\hsize"
Wheter to use \textwidth or \makeupwidth depends on the context where
your table is placed.
Kind regards

Hi Willi,
thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me, what the makeupwidth is?
It seems that I have to do some calculations for the widths by myself: I
have a CALS table model where the widths are specified by proportional
weights. -> I have to sum the weigths of all columns and divide each of
the weights by this sum in order to get the necessary stretch factors
for each column.
I hoped the ConTeXt has already a mechanism for this kind of specifiying
the widths.

Hi Stefan,
From the english manual...p24-25
Basically textwidth is the width available at the moment i.e. when in
any other sitation than one column. Makeupwidth is the total width of
the typesetting area.
Concerning you CALS table model, I assume indeed that you will have to
calculate the individual widths...

Hi Hans,
thanks for the tip regarding the stretch option. I tried the option and
had the impression that the table is streched if the sum of the widths
of the columns is less then the available width.
Yet, if the sum of the widths exceeds the available width then the table
is NOT shrunk! I tried other values for the option key (e.g. 'fit' or
'{stretch, shrink}') but the table remained too broad.
Is there a possibility to make the table width fit the available width
in any case? My temporary solution now converts the CALS proportional
width weights into absolute widths with small units (e.g. 'pt'), hoping
that the sum of these widths does not exceed the available width.
\setupTABLE[option=stretch]
\setupTABLE[column][1][width=10pt]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=20pt]
\setupTABLE[column][3][width=30pt]
Best regards,
--Stefan
