Problem with flowchart in presentation layout

Problem with flowchart in presentation layout

[Cecil Westerhof]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 505 bytes --]

With flow.tex flow.pdf is generated. When generating again flow2.pdf
is generated. (And every time it is generated again, there are 8 more
blanco pages inserted.) When deleting the flowchart part in flow.tex,
flow3.pdf is generated. This looks okay. So there should be something
wrong with my flowchart code. But I do not see anything. What is going
wrong here?

Also, I would like to have the complete flowchart on my screen. Is
there a way to make the room between the shapes less?

Don't use \startcolor[white] to change the color of the main text,
use \setupcolors[state=start,textcolor=white] instead.

That works. I got the code from
http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-2/schmitz/. I'll notify him about
the problem. Strange that there is only a problem when using a
flowchart.

Hi cecil,

there is a manual on charts at:

http://www.pragma-ade.nl/overview.htm

In your case you need to setup the flowchart and indicate the number  
of cells per x an y direction.
You can also manipulate the didstance between cells.
In case that you want to let the chart break over more pages call the  
flowchart with \FLOWcharts[...] instead of \FLOWchart[...]

\setupFLOWcharts[..,..=..,..]
option test
width dimension
height dimension
offset none overlay standard dimension
dx dimension
dy dimension
nx number
ny number
x number
y number
autofocus name
focus name
backgroundcolor name white

I use now the attached file. But nx needs to be 3. Then I get
flow.pdf. But I would expect that it should be 1 (I am only using one
column.) But when using 2 I get flow2.pdf. Why is this?

In this case I want everuthing on one page.


> backgroundcolor name white

It is not possible to also set the ink color?

Also is it possible to get the text in the shape left-aligned?

I am using:
    \text{{\tfd S}ource}

Is there a smarter way? When I want to use \tfa or instead of a bigger
font an different colored font, I need to change it everywhere. (In
this case not a big problem, but still not very nice.)
