Hi,
I want to typeset a table where some of the column headings are really long, while in the columns itself consists only of numbers.
Therefore, my idea was to rotate the column headings but not 90 degrees (I found some solutions for that) but 45 degree.
It then would be beneficial to push together the rotated cells, so the text of one cell actually starts above the previous cell.
Do you know, how to achieve that?
Here is a minimal example:
```
\startsetups[table:rotated]
\setupTABLE[frame=off]
\setupTABLE[row][first][bottomframe=on, style=bf, align={center, low}]
\setupTABLE[row][2][align=flushright]
\stopsetups
\starttext
\define\tablerotate{\dontleavehmode\rotate[rotation=-45, location=high]}
\bTABLE[setups=table:rotated]
\bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \tablerotate{Water buffalo} \eTD \bTD \tablerotate{Mexican redknee tarantula} \eTD \bTD \tablerotate{European turtle dove} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD Amount of legs \eTD \bTD \digits{4} \eTD \bTD \digits{8} \eTD \bTD \digits{2} \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
```
I would like to achieve that the text "Mexican redknee tarantula" is typeset right and above of "Water buffalo" so that the single columns have a width that is similar to the width of the single digit coming in the second row.
Another question in this context: Is is possible to specify a \setupTABLE command that works for column 2-4 starting from row 2?
Something like \setupTABLE[row][2-][column][2,3,4][background=color, backgroundcolor=red].
In this example this would cover all numbers but nothing else.
Best
Gerion

Doesn't the sinus here calculate the height of the rotated text? Beside from using Metapost (since I currently do not understand it and would only be able to copy paste your code), is there some kind of box construct which artificially reduces the width of the inner content? I would have expected something like \fakewidth[width=1cm, align=flushright]{\rotate[rotation=-45, location=high]{A really long text, much longer than 1cm}}. If I see it right, such a construct would also solve the problem, while less cleaner due to the fixed width.

Try xyscaled(\the\struttotal,abs(sind(\MPvar{rotation}))*\the\widthofstring{\MPvar{text}}); with sind instead of sin. And maybe with abs around it, but one can think of improvements for smaller angles. It all depends on what one wants. /Mikael ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
