installing metauml in context

installing metauml in context

[Shiv Shankar Dayal]

Hi,

I am running ConTeXt mark IV. I need to use metauml for my work.
However, I could not get it installed. Please help. The install file
which comes with it does not work for context.

Sorry about this. Following is from a file for which I took the code from
mailing list itself.

\chapter{Diameter Finite State Machine}
The state machine of the diameter base protocol implementation will observer
following state machine.
\startMPinclusions
input metauml;
\stopMPinclusions
\startuseMPgraphic{xx}

save A;
save B;
Class.A("Point")
       ("+x: int",
        "+y: int") ();

Class.B("Circle")
       ("radius: int")
       ("+getRadius(): int",
        "+setRadius(r: int):void");

topToBottom(45)(A, B);

drawObjects(A, B);

clink(aggregationUni)(A, B);

\stopuseMPgraphic

\placefigure[here][fig:xx]{xx}{\useMPgraphic{xx}}

This is included in starttext block.

For verbosity I am also giving you some errors.

Sorry to bother you  people. It is a pain to waste time like this.
Since metaobj works
with context I will extend and use it to draw UML diagrams. I just
thought that since
it is mentioned as a package at contextgarden I was hoping that it
will work out of the
box.

Hi,

The attached file runs without errors for me in mkiv (latest beta,
  2010.05.14 15:26 MKIV). However, note the following:

1. I had to add loading of 8r-base.map for the rptmr font
2. The placement of the text strings is wrong (probably related)

Best wishes,
Taco

\startMPinclusions
     string metauml_defaultFont            ; metauml_defaultFont 
     := "\truefontname{Serif}" ;
     string metauml_defaultFontOblique     ; metauml_defaultFontOblique 
     := "\truefontname{SerifItalic}" ;
     string metauml_defaultFontBold        ; metauml_defaultFontBold 
     := "\truefontname{SerifBold}" ;
     string metauml_defaultFontBoldOblique ; 
metauml_defaultFontBoldOblique := "\truefontname{SerifBoldItalic}" ;

     input metauml;
\stopMPinclusions

At least prevents the error but alignment is weird. Some pseudo 
typesetting is going on and the quality is suboptimal then (after all mp 
just pastes glyphs then). Take this:

Class.A ("Point") ("+x: int", "+y: int") ();

It's probably no big deal for the author to support pictures instead of 
strings

Class.A ("Point") (btex +x: int etex, "+y: int") ();

Class.A ("Point") (textext("+x: int"), "+y: int") ();

It's probabaly already possible somehow but i have no time to look into 
the code in detail now.

Re: installing metauml in context

[Shiv Shankar Dayal]

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for this help. I tried again with modifications and it is working
with wrong alignment. I am tried using simplefonts like

\usemodule[simplefonts,vim,mathml]
\setmainfont[LucidaStd]
\setmonofont[CourierNew]

If I add the above code then it overrides Hanss' suggestion but still
the alignment
is wrong. I am going to try more fonts to get the alignment right.

Re: installing metauml in context

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1976 bytes --]

Hi all,

I am also interested in using MetaUML with ConTeXt mkiv. I tried compiling
the attached test-metauml.tex with the versions (I updated today):

MTXrun | main context file:
/opt/context/beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.tex
MTXrun | current version: 2010.06.23 12:45

and

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.2-2010070309

I get the result in the attached test-metauml.pdf, still with the wrong
alignment.

I also tried building the MetaUML graphic in a separate test-metauml.mp file
using "mpost -mem=mpost.mem test-metauml.mp" (I changed the default font in
metauml_defaults.mp to cmtt12) and the left alignment was correct, but the
background boxes were no longer wide enough so that the text overran the box
background.
