TABLE in a flow chart

TABLE in a flow chart

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

I want to include a TABLE in a flow chart, but the table is shifted by an 
offset. Any ideas on how to get rid of the offset

\usemodule[chart]

\setupFLOWcharts[nx=1,ny=1,width=3cm,height=2cm]

\setupTABLE[each][each][height=1cm]

\startFLOWchart[test]
   \startFLOWcell
     \name{test}
     \location{1,1}
     \shape{action}
     \text
       {\bTABLE
         \bTR
           \bTD[width=3cm] One \eTD
         \eTR
         \bTR
           \bTD Two \eTD
         \eTR
       \eTABLE}
   \stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart

\starttext

\startTEXpage
   \FLOWchart[test]
\stopTEXpage

\stoptext


Thanks,
Aditya

for the moment use

\bTD[width=\hsize]

what you observe is an offset

you can also try to wrap the table in \centerbox{...}

(still a bit too high for the shape)

I'll redo this module in a more mkiv-ish way

I actually want multiple cells, so width=\hsize is not convinient.

Thanks.

\setupFLOWshapes[offset=none]

gets rid of the offset.

That will be great. When you look at it, can you also see if you can add 
the following features:

* set colors of individual shapes: maybe

   \defineFLOWshape[important][prodedure]

   \startFLOWcell
   ...
   \shape{important}
   ...
   \stopFLOWcell


   I know about focus, but sometimes you want more than two colors.

* Define different line types (start arrow, end arrow, and line style 
(dashed, dotted, etc)). For example, be able to have one solid line and 
one dashed line.

* Define shapes of different sizes (even if they are in multiples of the 
basic width and height).

And perhaps have a more ConTeXtish interface to draw flowcharts.

\startFLOWchart
\defineFLOWcell
   [one]
   [location={..},shape={...}, color={...}, style={...},
    background={...}, backgroundcolor={...},
    framecolor={...}, framethickness={...}]
   {text}

\defineFLOWcell
   [two]
   [...]{...}

\defineFLOWlinealternative[linealternative]
      [start=diamond,stop=arrow,style=dotted]

\FLOWline[one][two]
      [from={t},to={-b},color=...,thickness=...,
       alternative=linealternative, %defined above
      ] 
\stopFLOWchart

Thanks,
Aditya
