Dear All,
I only very recently updated from
ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31
to
ConTeXt ver: 2009.08.19 17:10 MKII
Previously, using env-assign.tex as described in a 2006 PracTeX
article worked fine. With the new version the drop shadow box is not
rendered.
This is the version of env-assign.tex I use:
\startenvironment env-assign
%D This is the environment file to prepare homework assignments in \CONTEXT.
%D See accompanying Prac\TEX\ article for an introduction on how to use it.
%D I use US letter paper and resonable margins.

%D The \filename{exam.cls} class in \LATEX\ allows you to put a frame around
%D the solution and the frame breaks across pages. I wanted to put a frame
%D around the solution, but something more informal than a rectangular frame.
%D \CONTEXT's manual gave hints on getting different kinds of frames, and I
%D finally settled for a randomized framed. The frame should
%D break around pages, so I used \tex{textbackground}.
\definetextbackground
[solutionbackground]
[ mp=background:random,
location=paragraph,
rulethickness=1pt,
framecolor=colorone,
width=local,
leftoffset=1em,
rightoffset=1em,
before={\testpage[3]\blank[2*big]},
after={\blank[2*big]}
]
%D The background in \tex{textbackground} is drawn using a useMPgraphic
%D defined set by \mono{mp=}. I define a useMPgraphic \mono{background:random}
%D to get the frame that I wanted. The code looks a bit complicated, because
%D \tex{texbackground} is supposed to work in a multi||column documents.
% A randomized frame
\startuseMPgraphic{background:random}
path p;
for i = 1 upto nofmultipars :
p = (multipars[i]
topenlarged 10pt
bottomenlarged 10pt) randomized 4pt ;
fill p withcolor lightgray ;
draw p withcolor \MPvar{linecolor}
withpen pencircle scaled \MPvar{linewidth};
endfor;
\stopuseMPgraphic
%D An earlier attempt that draws a frame which is squeezed in the center. To
%D use this change mp=background:random to mp=backgrond:squeezed in
%D \definetextbackground above.
\startuseMPgraphic{background:squeezed}
path p;
for i = 1 upto nofmultipars :
p = multipars[i]
topenlarged 10pt
bottomenlarged 10pt
squeezed 5pt
randomized 1pt ;
fill p withcolor lightgray ;
draw p withcolor \MPvar{linecolor}
withpen pencircle scaled \MPvar{linewidth};
endfor;
\stopuseMPgraphic
%D By default, the textbackground extends till the page boundary. This does
%D not look good if a page break occurs when there is not enough material to
%D fit in the page. So, we want to limit textbackground till the typeset
%D material. This has not been interfaced yet, so I use a low level \TEX\
%D command.
\chardef\kindofpagetextareas\plusone
\stopmode
%D I also wanted an English rule at the end of each assignment. \CONTEXT\
%D already defines an English rule. I load \filename{meta-txt.tex} to use it.
\useMPlibrary [txt]
%D I want the English rule to match the color scheme of the entire document.
\setupMPvariables
[EnglishRule]
[color=colortwo,
width=0.5\textwidth]
%D I redefined \tex{stopcomponent} to add the rule at the end of the file.
\let\normalstopcomponent\stopcomponent
\def\stopcomponent%
{\dosomebreak\nobreak
\framedtext[frame=off,strut=no,align=middle,width=\textwidth]
{\EnglishRule}
\normalstopcomponent}
\stopenvironment
Any hints as to why this should not work anymore?
Thanks and best regards,
Marko
