Hi everyone,
This question is primarily intended for Aditya… but I guess other
fellows on the list can also help me solve the following alignment
problem:
Is it possible to have an alignment like the rsult of the following
with \startcases...\stopcases?
\starttext
\startformula
\startmatrix[align={right,left,right},distance=3pt,left={\left\{},
right={\right.}]
\NC -\Delta u + g(u) \NC{} = f \NC \quad\mbox{in } \Omega\NR
\NC \displaystyle {\partial u \over \partial {\bf n} } \NC{} =
h(u) \NC \quad\mbox{on } \partial\Omega \NR
\stopmatrix
\stopformula
\stoptext
Actually I used to have such alignments with the following structure
(in good old plain TeX...):
\starttext
\startformula
\cases{
\eqalign{
-\Delta u + g(u) &= f \cr
\displaystyle {\partial u \over \partial {\bf n} } &= h(u) \cr
} \quad \eqalign{
&\hbox{in } \Omega \cr
&\vphantom{{\partial u \over \partial {\bf n} }} \hbox{on } \partial
\Omega \cr
}
}
\stopformula
\stoptext
(which gives approximately the same result as the first example above,
but clearly the math-alignment structure set up by Aditya and Hans is
much more elegant. (Although I prefer the vertical distance between
the lines obtained with my plain TeX structure: by the way is it
possible to fine tune such things in ConTeXt).
So my question is: whether one can use \startcases ...\stopcases
instead of \startmatrix ... \stopmatrix in order to obtain the result
of the plain TeX example?
Thanks in advance: OK

No, but there is not much difference between cases and matrix. Consider: \definemathmatrix[alignedcase] [align={right,left,right},distance=3pt,left={\left\{}, right={\right.},style=\displaystyle] \starttext \startformula \startalignedcase \NC -\Delta u + g(u) \NC{} = f \NC \quad\mbox{in } \Omega\NR \NC {\partial u \over \partial {\bf n} } \NC{} = h(u) \NC \quad\mbox{on } \partial\Omega \NR \stopalignedcase \stopformula Aditya [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 487 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
