filled triangles and images in pdf doc's

filled triangles and images in pdf doc's

[Joris Graaumans]

Hello,

In the Dutch version of ConTeXt I use the command:

\symbool[4]

to create a 'triangle right'. (in LaTeX it's \rhd I believe). This is an
'open' or transparant triangle and I would very much like to use a black or
filled triangle. Is this possible?

I also have a question about using (tiff) images in a ConTeXt > pdf
document. Using EPS-images in a (postscript) document works perfectly, but
when I try to convert PS to PDF the images are lost.
I also tried to use tiff-images and to create pdf output directly:

\pdfoutput=1
\pdfcompresslevel=9

but it didn't work. What's wrong?

Greetings, 

Joris

Well if I recall correctly then this symbol isn't in the CM fonts. But
there is one in the AMS symbols ($TEXMF/doc/amstex/amsguide.dvi, p.21
Try: 
\setupbodyfont[ams] % \stelkorpsin[ams]
\definesymbol[10][$\blacktriangleright$]

Do you want to include this PS document or will this document your
PDF document.
How do you convert PS to PDF?
If you use GhostScript, use GS 6.0x (x=1 in a few hours).

I would think ConTeXt could handle it directly using
\externalfigure[foo.tiff], doesn't this work. (I never tried.)

Ups, why don't you use texexec --pdf?

Works perfectly, thanks!

I'm using the 4TeX 5.0 distribution to compile the ConTeXt-file. I'm not
actually converting PS > PDF (sorry). I can get EPS images in a ConTeXt >

I tried \externfiguur[foo] with a foo.png, foo.tif, foo.jpg, foo.eps in the
same directory as the TeX-file, but the log says: 'figuur foo is niet te
vinden' (figure foo is not found).

I'm using MikTeX and pdfTeX and it worked with png and pdf files. For this I used
\externalfigure[ddd.png] and the figures were in the same directory as the TeX
file (amd also the working directory was the same).

Maybe it will work with you.
