Hi,

I have a little problem with a table. It works fine otherwise, but in
the first column the box and the number should be on the same line.
This goes right with 3a, but all the other ones place the box on the
first line and the number on the second. Widening column 1 doesn't
help. How do I force the number to stay on the same line with the box?

Put \dontleavehmode before \externalfigure, e.g.

     \dontleavehmode\externalfigure[box3mm]

and in case the number is still moved to the next line because there 
isn’t enough space left you can put an unbrakbale space between the 
graphic and number, e.g.

     \dontleavehmode\externalfigure[box3mm]~1

This kind of works. The box and the number are now on the same line,
but one of them - the number, I think - is offset and that looks
funny. Is there a trick that'd fix that?


Thanks,

Mari

1. Lower your graphic because it has margins around the lines which 
positions it too high.

\definesymbol[box3mm][{\offset[y=.25ex]{\externalfigure[box3mm]}}]

\starttext

\dontleavehmode\symbol[box3mm] 1

\stoptext



2. Use a box symbol which sits lower on the baseline.

\starttext

\dontleavehmode\symbol[square] 1

\stoptext


3. Use metapost to create your own box.

\startuseMPgraphic{box3mm}
     draw unitsquare scaled 3mm ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\definesymbol[box3mm][{\useMPgraphic{box3mm}}]

\starttext

\dontleavehmode\symbol[box3mm] 1

\stoptext

Thanks, Wolfgang!

\symbol[square] doesn't work for me, because the inside of the box has
to be white also when on gray background, i.e. I need a box filled
with white. I decided to do what I should've done in the first place
and brushed up enough of my MetaPost that I could create a box with
black outline and white fill (OK, I pinched most of it from the
MetaFun manual...). This seems to work:

\startuseMPgraphic{box3mm_filled}
    pickup pencircle scaled .02cm ;
    path p ; p := unitsquare scaled 3mm ;
    fill p withcolor white ;
    draw p withcolor black ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\definesymbol[box3mm][{\useMPgraphic{box3mm_filled}}]

\starttext

\dontleavehmode\symbol[box3mm] 1

\stoptext


Thank you for your speedy replies!

Mari
