Nevertheless I will give a short summary of the important concepts but +consult the book if you want more details. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Data types] + +\index{functions} +\index{variables} +\index{strings} +\index{numbers} +\index{booleans} +\index{tables} + +The most basic data type is \type {nil}. When we define a variable, we don't need +to give it a value: + +\starttyping +local v +\stoptyping + +Here the variable \type {v} can get any value but till that +happens it equals \type {nil}. There are simple data types like +\type {numbers}, \type {booleans} and \type {strings}. Here are +some numbers: + +\starttyping +local n = 1 + 2 * 3 +local x = 2.3 +\stoptyping + +Numbers are always floats \footnote {This is true for all versions upto 5.2 but +following version can have a more hybrid model.} and you can use the normal +arithmetic operators on them as well as functions defined in the math library. +Inside \TEX\ we have only integers, although for instance dimensions can be +specified in points using floats but that's more syntactic sugar. One reason for +using integers in \TEX\ has been that this was the only way to guarantee +portability across platforms. However, we're 30 years along the road and in \LUA\ +the floats are implemented identical across platforms, so we don't need to worry +about compatibility. + +Strings in \LUA\ can be given between quotes or can be so called long strings +forced by square brackets. + +\starttyping +local s = "Whatever" +local t = s .. ' you want' +local u = t .. [[ to know]] .. [[--[ about Lua!]--]] +\stoptyping + +The two periods indicate a concatenation. Strings are hashed, so when you say: + +\starttyping +local s = "Whatever" +local t = "Whatever" +local u = t +\stoptyping + +only one instance of \type {Whatever} is present in memory and this fact makes +\LUA\ very efficient with respect to strings. Strings are constants and therefore +when you change variable \type {s}, variable \type {t} keeps its value. When you +compare strings, in fact you compare pointers, a method that is really fast. This +compensates the time spent on hashing pretty well. + +Booleans are normally used to keep a state or the result from an expression. + +\starttyping +local b = false +local c = n > 10 and s == "whatever" +\stoptyping + +The other value is \type {true}. There is something that you need +to keep in mind when you do testing on variables that are yet +unset. + +\starttyping +local b = false +local n +\stoptyping + +The following applies when \type {b} and \type {n} are defined this way: + +\starttabulate[|Tl|Tl|] +\NC b == false \NC true \NC \NR +\NC n == false \NC false \NC \NR +\NC n == nil \NC true \NC \NR +\NC b == nil \NC false \NC \NR +\NC b == n \NC false \NC \NR +\NC n == nil \NC true \NC \NR +\stoptabulate + +Often a test looks like: + +\starttyping +if somevar then + ... +else + ... +end +\stoptyping + +In this case we enter the else branch when \type {somevar} is either \type {nil} +or \type {false}. It also means that by looking at the code we cannot beforehand +conclude that \type {somevar} equals \type {true} or something else. If you want +to really distinguish between the two cases you can be more explicit: + +\starttyping +if somevar == nil then + ... +elseif somevar == false then + ... +else + ... +end +\stoptyping + +or + +\starttyping +if somevar == true then + ... +else + ... +end +\stoptyping + +but such an explicit test is seldom needed. + +There are a few more data types: tables and functions. Tables are very important +and you can recognize them by the same curly braces that make \TEX\ famous: + +\starttyping +local t = { 1, 2, 3 } +local u = { a = 4, b = 9, c = 16 } +local v = { [1] = "a", [3] = "2", [4] = false } +local w = { 1, 2, 3, a = 4, b = 9, c = 16 } +\stoptyping + +The \type {t} is an indexed table and \type {u} a hashed table. Because the +second slot is empty, table \type {v} is partially indexed (slot 1) and partially +hashed (the others). There is a gray area there, for instance, what happens when +you nil a slot in an indexed table? In practice you will not run into problems as +you will either use a hashed table, or an indexed table (with no holes), so table +\type {w} is not uncommon. + +We mentioned that strings are in fact shared (hashed) but that an assignment of a +string to a variable makes that variable behave like a constant. Contrary to +that, when you assign a table, and then copy that variable, both variables can be +used to change the table. Take this: + +\starttyping +local t = { 1, 2, 3 } +local u = t +\stoptyping + +We can change the content of the table as follows: + +\starttyping +t[1], t[3] = t[3], t[1] +\stoptyping + +Here we swap two cells. This is an example of a parallel assigment. However, the +following does the same: + +\starttyping +t[1], t[3] = u[3], u[1] +\stoptyping + +After this, both \type {t} and \type {u} still share the same table. This kind of +behaviour is quite natural. Keep in mind that expressions are evaluated first, so + +\starttyping +t[#t+1], t[#t+1] = 23, 45 +\stoptyping + +Makes no sense, as the values end up in the same slot. There is no gain in speed +so using parallel assignments is mostly a convenience feature. + +There are a few specialized data types in \LUA, like \type {coroutines} (built +in), \type {file} (when opened), \type {lpeg} (only when this library is linked +in or loaded). These are called \quote {userdata} objects and in \LUATEX\ we have +more userdata objects as we will see in later chapters. Of them nodes are the +most noticeable: they are the core data type of the \TEX\ machinery. Other +libraries, like \type {math} and \type {bit32} are just collections of functions +operating on numbers. + +Functions look like this: + +\starttyping +function sum(a,b) + print(a, b, a + b) +end +\stoptyping + +or this: + +\starttyping +function sum(a,b) + return a + b +end +\stoptyping + +There can be many arguments of all kind of types and there can be multiple return +values. A function is a real type, so you can say: + +\starttyping +local f = function(s) print("the value is: " .. s) end +\stoptyping + +In all these examples we defined variables as \type {local}. This is a good +practice and avoids clashes. Now watch the following: + +\starttyping +local n = 1 + +function sum(a,b) + n = n + 1 + return a + b +end + +function report() + print("number of summations: " .. n) +end +\stoptyping + +Here the variable \type {n} is visible after its definition and accessible for +the two global functions. Actually the variable is visible to all the code +following, unless of course we define a new variable with the same name. We can +hide \type {n} as follows: + +\starttyping +do + local n = 1 + + sum = function(a,b) + n = n + 1 + return a + b + end + + report = function() + print("number of summations: " .. n) + end +end +\stoptyping + +This example also shows another way of defining the function: by assignment. + +The \typ {do ... end} creates a so called closure. There are many places where +such closures are created, for instance in function bodies or branches like \typ +{if ... then ... else}. This means that in the following snippet, variable \type +{b} is not seen after the end: + +\starttyping +if a > 10 then + local b = a + 10 + print(b*b) +end +\stoptyping + +When you process a blob of \LUA\ code in \TEX\ (using \type {\directlua} or \type +{\latelua}) it happens in a closure with an implied \typ {do ... end}. So, \type +{local} defined variables are really local. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=\TEX's data types] + +We mentioned \type {numbers}. At the \TEX\ end we have counters as well as +dimensions. Both are numbers but dimensions are specified differently + +\starttyping +local n = tex.count[0] +local m = tex.dimen.lineheight +local o = tex.sp("10.3pt") -- sp or 'scaled point' is the smallest unit +\stoptyping + +The unit of dimension is \quote {scaled point} and this is a pretty small unit: +10 points equals to 655360 such units. + +Another accessible data type is tokens. They are automatically converted to +strings and vice versa. + +\starttyping +tex.toks[0] = "message" +print(tex.toks[0]) +\stoptyping + +Be aware of the fact that the tokens are letters so the following will come out +as text and not issue a message: + +\starttyping +tex.toks[0] = "\message{just text}" +print(tex.toks[0]) +\stoptyping + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Control structures] + +\index{loops} + +Loops are not much different from other languages: we have \typ {for ... do}, +\typ {while ... do} and \typ {repeat ... until}. We start with the simplest case: + +\starttyping +for index=1,10 do + print(index) +end +\stoptyping + +You can specify a step and go downward as well: + +\starttyping +for index=22,2,-2 do + print(index) +end +\stoptyping + +Indexed tables can be traversed this way: + +\starttyping +for index=1,#list do + print(index, list[index]) +end +\stoptyping + +Hashed tables on the other hand are dealt with as follows: + +\starttyping +for key, value in next, list do + print(key, value) +end +\stoptyping + +Here \type {next} is a built in function. There is more to say about this +mechanism but the average user will use only this variant. Slightly less +efficient is the following, more readable variant: + +\starttyping +for key, value in pairs(list) do + print(key, value) +end +\stoptyping + +and for an indexed table: + +\starttyping +for index, value in ipairs(list) do + print(index, value) +end +\stoptyping + +The function call to \type {pairs(list)} returns \typ {next, list} so there is an +(often neglectable) extra overhead of one function call. + +The other two loop variants, \type {while} and \type {repeat}, are similar. + +\starttyping +i = 0 +while i < 10 do + i = i + 1 + print(i) +end +\stoptyping + +This can also be written as: + +\starttyping +i = 0 +repeat + i = i + 1 + print(i) +until i = 10 +\stoptyping + +Or: + +\starttyping +i = 0 +while true do + i = i + 1 + print(i) + if i = 10 then + break + end +end +\stoptyping +\stopsection + +Of course you can use more complex expressions in such constructs. + +\startsection[title=Conditions] + +\index{expressions} + +Conditions have the following form: + +\starttyping +if a == b or c > d or e then + ... +elseif f == g then + ... +else + ... +end +\stoptyping + +Watch the double \type {==}. The complement of this is \type {~=}. Precedence is +similar to other languages. In practice, as strings are hashed. Tests like + +\starttyping +if key == "first" then + ... +end +\stoptyping + +and + +\starttyping +if n == 1 then + ... +end +\stoptyping + +are equally efficient. There is really no need to use numbers to identify states +instead of more verbose strings. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Namespaces] + +\index{namespaces} + +Functionality can be grouped in libraries. There are a few default libraries, +like \type {string}, \type {table}, \type {lpeg}, \type {math}, \type {io} and +\type {os} and \LUATEX\ adds some more, like \type {node}, \type {tex} and \type +{texio}. + +A library is in fact nothing more than a bunch of functionality organized using a +table, where the table provides a namespace as well as place to store public +variables. Of course there can be local (hidden) variables used in defining +functions. + +\starttyping +do + mylib = { } + + local n = 1 + + function mylib.sum(a,b) + n = n + 1 + return a + b + end + + function mylib.report() + print("number of summations: " .. n) + end +end +\stoptyping + +The defined function can be called like: + +\starttyping +mylib.report() +\stoptyping + +You can also create a shortcut, This speeds up the process because there are less +lookups then. In the following code multiple calls take place: + +\starttyping +local sum = mylib.sum + +for i=1,10 do + for j=1,10 do + print(i, j, sum(i,j)) + end +end + +mylib.report() +\stoptyping + +As \LUA\ is pretty fast you should not overestimate the speedup, especially not +when a function is called seldom. There is an important side effect here: in the +case of: + +\starttyping + print(i, j, sum(i,j)) +\stoptyping + +the meaning of \type {sum} is frozen. But in the case of + +\starttyping + print(i, j, mylib.sum(i,j)) +\stoptyping + +The current meaning is taken, that is: each time the interpreter will access +\type {mylib} and get the current meaning of \type {sum}. And there can be a good +reason for this, for instance when the meaning is adapted to different +situations. + +In \CONTEXT\ we have quite some code organized this way. Although much is exposed +(if only because it is used all over the place) you should be careful in using +functions (and data) that are still experimental. There are a couple of general +libraries and some extend the core \LUA\ libraries. You might want to take a look +at the files in the distribution that start with \type {l-}, like \type +{l-table.lua}. These files are preloaded.\footnote {In fact, if you write scripts +that need their functionality, you can use \type {mtxrun} to process the script, +as \type {mtxrun} has the core libraries preloaded as well.} For instance, if you +want to inspect a table, you can say: + +\starttyping +local t = { "aap", "noot", "mies" } +table.print(t) +\stoptyping + +You can get an overview of what is implemented by running the following command: + +\starttyping +context s-tra-02 --mode=tablet +\stoptyping + +{\em todo: add nice synonym for this module and also add helpinfo at the to so +that we can do \type {context --styles}} + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Comment] + +\index{comment} + +You can add comments to your \LUA\ code. There are basically two methods: one +liners and multi line comments. + +\starttyping +local option = "test" -- use this option with care + +local method = "unknown" --[[comments can be very long and when entered + this way they and span multiple lines]] +\stoptyping + +The so called long comments look like long strings preceded by \type {--} and +there can be more complex boundary sequences. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Pitfalls] + +Sometimes \type {nil} can bite you, especially in tables, as they have a dual nature: +indexed as well as hashed. + +\startbuffer +\startluacode +local n1 = # { nil, 1, 2, nil } -- 3 +local n2 = # { nil, nil, 1, 2, nil } -- 0 + +context("n1 = %s and n2 = %s",n1,n2) +\stopluacode +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +results in: \getbuffer + +So, you cannot really depend on the length operator here. On the other hand, with: + +\startbuffer +\startluacode +local function check(...) + return select("#",...) +end + +local n1 = check ( nil, 1, 2, nil ) -- 4 +local n2 = check ( nil, nil, 1, 2, nil ) -- 5 + +context("n1 = %s and n2 = %s",n1,n2) +\stopluacode +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +we get: \getbuffer, so the \type {select} is quite useable. However, that function also +has its specialities. The following example needs some close reading: + +\startbuffer +\startluacode +local function filter(n,...) + return select(n,...) +end + +local v1 = { filter ( 1, 1, 2, 3 ) } +local v2 = { filter ( 2, 1, 2, 3 ) } +local v3 = { filter ( 3, 1, 2, 3 ) } + +context("v1 = %+t and v2 = %+t and v3 = %+t",v1,v2,v3) +\stopluacode +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +We collect the result in a table and show the concatination: + +\getbuffer + +So, what you effectively get is the whole list starting with the given offset. + +\startbuffer +\startluacode +local function filter(n,...) + return (select(n,...)) +end + +local v1 = { filter ( 1, 1, 2, 3 ) } +local v2 = { filter ( 2, 1, 2, 3 ) } +local v3 = { filter ( 3, 1, 2, 3 ) } + +context("v1 = %+t and v2 = %+t and v3 = %+t",v1,v2,v3) +\stopluacode +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +Now we get: \getbuffer. The extra \type {()} around the result makes sure that +we only get one return value. + +Of course the same effect can be achieved as follows: + +\starttyping +local function filter(n,...) + return select(n,...) +end + +local v1 = filter ( 1, 1, 2, 3 ) +local v2 = filter ( 2, 1, 2, 3 ) +local v3 = filter ( 3, 1, 2, 3 ) + +context("v1 = %s and v2 = %s and v3 = %s",v1,v2,v3) +\stoptyping + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={A few suggestions}] + +You can wrap all kind of functionality in functions but sometimes it makes no +sense to add the overhead of a call as the same can be done with hardly any code. + +If you want a slice of a table, you can copy the range needed to a new table. A +simple version with no bounds checking is: + +\starttyping +local new = { } for i=a,b do new[#new+1] = old[i] end +\stoptyping + +Another, much faster, variant is the following. + +\starttyping +local new = { unpack(old,a,b) } +\stoptyping + +You can use this variant for slices that are not extremely large. The function +\type {table.sub} is an equivalent: + +\starttyping +local new = table.sub(old,a,b) +\stoptyping + +An indexed table is empty when its size equals zero: + +\starttyping +if #indexed == 0 then ... else ... end +\stoptyping + +Sometimes this is better: + +\starttyping +if indexed and #indexed == 0 then ... else ... end +\stoptyping + +So how do we test if a hashed table is empty? We can use the +\type {next} function as in: + +\starttyping +if hashed and next(indexed) then ... else ... end +\stoptyping + +Say that we have the following table: + +\starttyping +local t = { a=1, b=2, c=3 } +\stoptyping + +The call \type {next(t)} returns the first key and value: + +\starttyping +local k, v = next(t) -- "a", 1 +\stoptyping + +The second argument to \type {next} can be a key in which case the +following key and value in the hash table is returned. The result +is not predictable as a hash is unordered. The generic for loop +uses this to loop over a hashed table: + +\starttyping +for k, v in next, t do + ... +end +\stoptyping + +Anyway, when \type {next(t)} returns zero you can be sure that the table is +empty. This is how you can test for exactly one entry: + +\starttyping +if t and not next(t,next(t)) then ... else ... end +\stoptyping + +Here it starts making sense to wrap it into a function. + +\starttyping +function table.has_one_entry(t) + t and not next(t,next(t)) +end +\stoptyping + +On the other hand, this is not that usefull, unless you can spent the runtime on +it: + +\starttyping +function table.is_empty(t) + return not t or not next(t) +end +\stoptyping + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Interfacing] + +We have already seen that you can embed \LUA\ code using commands like: + +\starttyping +\startluacode + print("this works") +\stopluacode +\stoptyping + +This command should not be confused with: + +\starttyping +\startlua + print("this works") +\stoplua +\stoptyping + +The first variant has its own catcode regime which means that tokens between the start +and stop command are treated as \LUA\ tokens, with the exception of \TEX\ commands. The +second variant operates under the regular \TEX\ catcode regime. + +Their short variants are \type {\ctxluacode} and \type {\ctxlua} as in: + +\starttyping +\ctxluacode{print("this works")} +\ctxlua{print("this works")} +\stoptyping + +In practice you will probably use \type {\startluacode} when using or defining % \stopluacode +a blob of \LUA\ and \type {\ctxlua} for inline code. Keep in mind that the +longer versions need more initialization and have more overhead. + +There are some more commands. For instance \type {\ctxcommand} can be used as +an efficient way to access functions in the \type {commands} namespace. The +following two calls are equivalent: + +\starttyping +\ctxlua {commands.thisorthat("...")} +\ctxcommand {thisorthat("...")} +\stoptyping + +There are a few shortcuts to the \type {context} namespace. Their use can best be +seen from their meaning: + +\starttyping +\cldprocessfile#1{\directlua{context.runfile("#1")}} +\cldloadfile #1{\directlua{context.loadfile("#1")}} +\cldcontext #1{\directlua{context(#1)}} +\cldcommand #1{\directlua{context.#1}} +\stoptyping + +The \type {\directlua{}} command can also be implemented using the token parser +and \LUA\ itself. A variant is therefore \type {\luascript{}} which can be +considered an alias but with a bit different error reporting. A variant on this +is the \type {\luathread {name} {code}} command. Here is an example of their +usage: + +\startbuffer +\luascript { context("foo 1:") context(i) } \par +\luathread {test} { i = 10 context("bar 1:") context(i) } \par +\luathread {test} { context("bar 2:") context(i) } \par +\luathread {test} {} % resets +\luathread {test} { context("bar 3:") context(i) } \par +\luascript { context("foo 2:") context(i) } \par +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +These commands result in: + +\startpacked \getbuffer \stoppacked + +% \testfeatureonce{100000}{\directlua {local a = 10 local a = 10 local a = 10}} % 0.53s +% \testfeatureonce{100000}{\luascript {local a = 10 local a = 10 local a = 10}} % 0.62s +% \testfeatureonce{100000}{\luathread {test} {local a = 10 local a = 10 local a = 10}} % 0.79s + +The variable \type {i} is local to the thread (which is not really a thread in +\LUA\ but more a named piece of code that provides an environment which is shared +over the calls with the same name. You will probably never need these. + +Each time a call out to \LUA\ happens the argument eventually gets parsed, converted +into tokens, then back into a string, compiled to bytecode and executed. The next +example code shows a mechanism that avoids this: + +\starttyping +\startctxfunction MyFunctionA + context(" A1 ") +\stopctxfunction + +\startctxfunctiondefinition MyFunctionB + context(" B2 ") +\stopctxfunctiondefinition +\stoptyping + +The first command associates a name with some \LUA\ code and that code can be +executed using: + +\starttyping +\ctxfunction{MyFunctionA} +\stoptyping + +The second definition creates a command, so there we do: + +\starttyping +\MyFunctionB +\stoptyping + +There are some more helpers but for use in document sources they make less sense.

The second argument can be an +empty string or a reference to an existing featureset that will be taken as +starting point. The final argument is the featureset. This can be a table or a +string with a comma separated list of key|/|value pairs. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Nodes}] + +Nodes are the building blocks that make a document reality. Nodes are linked into +lists and at various moments in the typesetting process you can manipulate them. +Deep down in \CONTEXT\ we use quite some \LUA\ magic to manipulate lists of +nodes. Therefore it is no surprise that we have some tracing available. Take the +following box. + +\startbuffer +\setbox0\hbox{It's in \hbox{\bf all} those nodes.} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +This box contains characters and glue between the words. The box is already +constructed. There can also be kerns between characters, but of course only if +the font provides such a feature. Let's inspect this box: + +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.toutf(tex.box[0])} +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.toutf(tex.box[0].list)} + +This tracer returns the text and spacing and recurses into nested lists. The next +tracer does not do this and marks non glyph nodes as \type {[-]}: + +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.listtoutf(tex.box[0])} +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.listtoutf(tex.box[0].list)} + +A more verbose tracer is the next one. It does show a bit more detailed +information about the glyphs nodes. + +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.tosequence(tex.box[0])} +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.tosequence(tex.box[0].list)} + +The fourth tracer does not show that detail and collapses sequences of similar +node types. + +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.idstostring(tex.box[0])} +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.idstostring(tex.box[0].list)} + +The number of nodes in a list is identified with the \type {countall} function. +Nested nodes are counted too. + +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.countall(tex.box[0])} +\ShowLuaExampleString{nodes.countall(tex.box[0].list)} + +There are a lot of helpers in the \type {nodes} namespace. In fact, we map all the +helpers provided by the engine itself under \type {nodes} too. These are described +in the \LUATEX\ manual. There are for instance functions to check node types and +node id's: + +\starttyping +local str = node.type(1) +local num = node.id("vlist") +\stoptyping + +These are basic \LUATEX\ functions. In addition to those we also provide a few more +helpers as well as +mapping tables. There are two tables that map node id's to strings and backwards: + +\starttabulate +\NC \type{nodes.nodecodes} \NC regular nodes, some fo them are sort of private to the engine \NC \NR +\NC \type{nodes.noadcodes} \NC math nodes that later on are converted into regular nodes \NC \NR +\stoptabulate + +Nodes can have subtypes.

You can use tables like this as follows: + +\starttyping +local glyph_code = nodes.nodecodes.glyph +local kern_code = nodes.nodecodes.kern +local glue_code = nodes.nodecodes.glue + +for n in nodes.traverse(list) do + local id == n.id + if id == glyph_code then + ... + elseif id == kern_code then + ... + elseif id == glue_code then + ... + else + ... + end +end +\stoptyping + +You only need to use such temporary variables in time critical code. In spite of +what you might think, lists are not that long and given the speed of \LUA\ (and +successive optimizations in \LUATEX) looping over a paragraphs is rather fast. + +Nodes are created using \type {node.new}. If you study the \CONTEXT\ code you +will notice that there are quite some functions in the \type {nodes.pool} +namespace, like: + +\starttyping +local g = nodes.pool.glyph(fnt,chr) +\stoptyping + +Of course you need to make sure that the font id is valid and that the referred +glyph in in the font. You can use the allocators but don't mess with the code in +the \type {pool} namespace as this might interfere with its usage all over +\CONTEXT. + +The \type {nodes} namespace provides a couple of helpers and some of them are +similar to ones provided in the \type {node} namespace. This has practical as +well as historic reasons. For instance some were prototypes functions that were +later built in. + +\starttyping +local head, current = nodes.before (head, current, new) +local head, current = nodes.after (head, current, new) +local head, current = nodes.delete (head, current) +local head, current = nodes.replace(head, current, new) +local head, current, old = nodes.remove (head, current) +\stoptyping + +Another category deals with attributes: + +\starttyping +nodes.setattribute (head, attribute, value) +nodes.unsetattribute (head, attribute) +nodes.setunsetattribute (head, attribute, value) +nodes.setattributes (head, attribute, value) +nodes.unsetattributes (head, attribute) +nodes.setunsetattributes(head, attribute, value) +nodes.hasattribute (head, attribute, value) +\stoptyping + +% context(typesetters.hpack("Hello World!")) +% context(typesetters.hpack("Hello World!",1,100*1024*10)) + +% nodes.firstchar +% nodes.firstcharinbox + +% maybe node-tst +% tasks and so +% number.points (to numbers) + +\stopsection + +% \startsection[title={Core}] +% {\em todo} +% \stopsection + +\startsection[title={Resolvers}] + +All \IO\ is handled by functions in the \type {resolvers} namespace. Most of the +code that you find in the \type {data-*.lua} files is of litle relevance for +users, especially at the \LUA\ end, so we won't discuss it here in great detail. + +The resolver code is modelled after the \KPSE\ library that itself implements the +\TEX\ Directory Structure in combination with a configuration file.

If you want to make your own documentation, then you can use +this variant: + +\starttyping +\startbuffer +context("See this!") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \ctxluabuffer +\stoptyping + +I use anonymous buffers here but you can also use named ones. The other variant +is: + +\starttyping +\startluacode +context("See this!") +\stopluacode +\stoptyping + +This will process the code directly.

As \TEX\ math is a language in its own and a de-facto standard +way of inputting math this is quite natural, even at the \LUA\ end. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Spaces and Lines] + +\index{spaces} +\index{lines} + +In a regular \TEX\ file, spaces and newline characters are collapsed into one +space. At the \LUA\ end the same happens. Compare the following examples. First +we omit spaces: + +\startbuffer +context("left") +context("middle") +context("right") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \ctxluabuffer + +Next we add spaces: + +\startbuffer +context("left") +context(" middle ") +context("right") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \ctxluabuffer + +We can also add more spaces: + +\startbuffer +context("left ") +context(" middle ") +context(" right") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \ctxluabuffer + +In principle all content becomes a stream and after that the \TEX\ parser will do +its normal work: collapse spaces unless configured to do otherwise.

In that case, when set, whitespace will be +added between paragraphs. + +This newline issue is a somewhat unfortunate inheritance of traditional \TEX, +where \type {\n} and \type {\r} mean something different. I'm still not sure if +the \CLD\ do the right thing as dealing with these tokens also depends on the +intended effect. Catcodes as well as the \LUATEX\ input parser also play a role. +Anyway, the following also works: + +\startbuffer +context.startlines() +context("line 1\n") +context("line 2\n") +context("line 3\n") +context.stoplines() +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Direct output] + +\index{direct output} +\index{verbose} + +The \CONTEXT\ user interface is rather consistent and the use of special input +syntaxes is discouraged. Therefore, the \LUA\ interface using tables and strings +works quite well. However, imagine that you need to support some weird macro (or +a primitive) that does not expect its argument between curly braces or brackets. +The way out is to precede an argument by another one with the value \type +{false}. We call this the direct interface. This is demonstrated in the following +example. + +\startbuffer +\unexpanded\def\bla#1{[#1]} + +\startluacode +context.bla(false,"***") +context.par() +context.bla("***") +\stopluacode +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +This results in: + +\getbuffer + +Here, the first call results in three \type {*} being passed, and \type {#1} +picks up the first token. The second call to \type {bla} gets \type {{***}} +passed so here \type {#1} gets the triplet. In practice you will seldom need the +direct interface. + +In \CONTEXT\ for historical reasons, combinations accept the following syntax: + +\starttyping +\startcombination % optional specification, like [2*3] + {\framed{content one}} {caption one} + {\framed{content two}} {caption two} +\stopcombination +\stoptyping + +You can also say: + +\starttyping +\startcombination + \combination {\framed{content one}} {caption one} + \combination {\framed{content two}} {caption two} +\stopcombination +\stoptyping + +When coded in \LUA, we can feed the first variant as follows: + +\startbuffer +context.startcombination() + context.direct("one","two") + context.direct("one","two") +context.stopcombination() +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +To give you an idea what this looks like, we render it: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\ctxluabuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +So, the \type {direct} function is basically a no|-|op and results in nothing by +itself.

Such a template look horrible, although it's not too +far from the regular format syntax: just compare \type {%1f} with \type {%1!e!}. +The zero trick permits us to inject information that we've put on the stack.

At first sight this +feature looks strange but you need to keep in mind that a call to a \type +{context} function has no direct consequences. It generates \TEX\ code that is +executed after the current \LUA\ chunk ends and control is passed back to \TEX. +Take the following code: + +\startbuffer +context.framed( { + frame = "on", + offset = "5mm", + align = "middle" + }, + context.input("knuth") +) +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +We call the function \type {framed} but before the function body is executed, the +arguments get evaluated. This means that \type {input} gets processed before +\type {framed} gets done. As a result there is no second argument to \type +{framed} and no content gets passed: an error is reported. This is why we need +the indirect call: + +\startbuffer +context.framed( { + frame = "on", + align = "middle" + }, + function() context.input("knuth") end +) +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +This way we get what we want: + +\startlinecorrection +\ctxluabuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +The function is delayed till the \type {framed} command is executed. If your +applications use such calls a lot, you can of course encapsulate this ugliness: + +\starttyping +mycommands = mycommands or { } + +function mycommands.framed_input(filename) + context.framed( { + frame = "on", + align = "middle" + }, + function() context.input(filename) end +end + +mycommands.framed_input("knuth") +\stoptyping + +Of course you can nest function calls: + +\starttyping +context.placefigure( + "caption", + function() + context.framed( { + frame = "on", + align = "middle" + }, + function() context.input("knuth") end + ) + end +) +\stoptyping + +Or you can use a more indirect method: + +\starttyping +function text() + context.framed( { + frame = "on", + align = "middle" + }, + function() context.input("knuth") end + ) +end + +context.placefigure( + "none", + function() text() end +) +\stoptyping + +You can develop your own style and libraries just like you do with regular \LUA\ +code. Browsing the already written code can give you some ideas. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=How we can avoid them] + +\index{delaying} +\index{nesting} + +As many nested functions can obscure the code rather quickly, there is an +alternative.

As you can see, the second argument is executed before +the encapsulating call to \type {test}. So, we should have packed it into a +function but here is an alternative: + +\startbuffer +context.test("test 1 ",context.delayed("test 2a")," test 3") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +Now we get: \ctxluabuffer. We can also delay functions themselves, +look at this: + +\startbuffer +context.test("test 1 ",context.delayed.test("test 2b")," test 3") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +The result is: \ctxluabuffer. This feature also conveniently permits the use of +temporary variables, as in: + +\starttyping +local f = context.delayed.test("test 2c") +context("before ",f," after") +\stoptyping + +Of course you can limit the amount of keystrokes even more by +creating a shortcut: + +\starttyping +local delayed = context.delayed + +context.test("test 1 ",delayed.test("test 2")," test 3") +context.test("test 4 ",delayed.test("test 5")," test 6") +\stoptyping + +So, if you want you can produce rather readable code and readability of code is +one of the reasons why \LUA\ was chosen in the first place. This is a good +example of why coding in \TEX\ makes sense as it looks more intuitive: + +\starttyping +\test{test 1 \test{test 2} test 3} +\test{test 4 \test{test 5} test 6} +\stoptyping + +There is also another mechanism available.

For instance, when determining the +most optimal way to analyse and therefore typeset a table, it is necessary to +typeset the content of cells first. Inside \CONTEXT\ there is a state tagged +\quote {trial typesetting} which signals other mechanisms that for instance +counters should not be incremented more than once. + +Normally you don't need to worry about these issues, but when writing the code +that implements the \LUA\ interface to \CONTEXT, it definitely had to be taken +into account as we either or not can free cached (nested) functions. + +You can influence this caching to some extend.

The other two helpers map a character onto +an uppercase (because morse only deals with uppercase) or onto an similar shaped +character (because morse only has a limited character set). + +\starttyping +local utfcharacters = string.utfcharacters +local ucchars, shchars = characters.ucchars, characters.shchars +\stoptyping + +The morse codes are stored in a table. + +\starttyping +local codes = { + + ["A"] = "·—", ["B"] = "—···", + ["C"] = "—·—·", ["D"] = "—··", + ["E"] = "·", ["F"] = "··—·", + ["G"] = "——·", ["H"] = "····", + ["I"] = "··", ["J"] = "·———", + ["K"] = "—·—", ["L"] = "·—··", + ["M"] = "——", ["N"] = "—·", + ["O"] = "———", ["P"] = "·——·", + ["Q"] = "——·—", ["R"] = "·—·", + ["S"] = "···", ["T"] = "—", + ["U"] = "··—", ["V"] = "···—", + ["W"] = "·——", ["X"] = "—··—", + ["Y"] = "—·——", ["Z"] = "——··", + + ["0"] = "—————", ["1"] = "·————", + ["2"] = "··———", ["3"] = "···——", + ["4"] = "····—", ["5"] = "·····", + ["6"] = "—····", ["7"] = "——···", + ["8"] = "———··", ["9"] = "————·", + + ["."] = "·—·—·—", [","] = "——··——", + [":"] = "———···", [";"] = "—·—·—", + ["?"] = "··——··", ["!"] = "—·—·——", + ["-"] = "—····—", ["/"] = "—··—· ", + ["("] = "—·——·", [")"] = "—·——·—", + ["="] = "—···—", ["@"] = "·——·—·", + ["'"] = "·————·", ['"'] = "·—··—·", + + ["À"] = "·——·—", + ["Å"] = "·——·—", + ["Ä"] = "·—·—", + ["Æ"] = "·—·—", + ["Ç"] = "—·—··", + ["É"] = "··—··", + ["È"] = "·—··—", + ["Ñ"] = "——·——", + ["Ö"] = "———·", + ["Ø"] = "———·", + ["Ü"] = "··——", + ["ß"] = "··· ···", + +} + +morse.codes = codes +\stoptyping + +As you can see, there are a few non \ASCII\ characters supported as well. There +will never be full \UNICODE\ support simply because morse is sort of obsolete. +Also, in order to support \UNICODE\ one could as well use the bits of \UTF\ +characters, although \unknown\ memorizing the whole \UNICODE\ table is not much +fun. + +We associate a metatable index function with this mapping. That way we can not +only conveniently deal with the casing, but also provide a fallback based on the +shape. Once found, we store the representation so that only one lookup is needed +per character. + +\starttyping +local function resolvemorse(t,k) + if k then + local u = ucchars[k] + local v = rawget(t,u) or rawget(t,shchars[u]) or false + t[k] = v + return v + else + return false + end +end + +setmetatable(codes, { __index = resolvemorse }) +\stoptyping + +Next comes some rendering code.

One typesets a file, the other +a table of available codes. + +\starttyping +function morse.filetomorse(name,verbose) + morse.tomorse(resolvers.loadtexfile(name),verbose) +end + +function morse.showtable() + context.starttabulate { "|l|l|" } + for k, v in table.sortedpairs(codes) do + context.NC() context(k) + context.NC() morse.tomorse(v,true) + context.NC() context.NR() + end + context.stoptabulate() +end +\stoptyping + +We're done with the \LUA\ code that we can either put in an external file or put +in the module file. The \TEX\ file has two parts. The typesetting macros that we +use at the \LUA\ end are defined first.

We use a +splitter that splits on spacing tokens. The special case for \type {i = 1} makes +sure that we end up in horizontal mode (read: properly start a paragraph). This +time we do get color because the typesetting is done directly. Here is an +alternative implementation: + +\starttyping +local done = false + +local function reset() + done = false + return true +end + +local function apply(s) + if done then + context.space() + else + done = true + context.dontleavehmode() + end + context.colored(s) +end + +local splitter = lpeg.P(reset) + * lpeg.splitter(lpeg.patterns.spacer,apply) + +local function process(data) + lpeg.match(splitter,data) +end +\stoptyping + +This version is more efficient as it does not create an intermediate table.

If you have to +revert to this trick, you are probably working in document screw||up mode. This +is why in grid mode, we automatically round to an equal number of lines. + +If you know what text you're dealing with and also can be sure about the height +of a graphic, you can trick \CONTEXT\ to ignore the dimensions of a graphic. Here +we use the graphic: + +\startbuffer +\startreusableMPgraphic{gnome} + fill fullsquare xyscaled(2cm, 1cm) withcolor \MPcolor{red} ; + fill fullsquare xyscaled(1cm,.5cm) withcolor \MPcolor{gray} ; +\stopreusableMPgraphic +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +\startbuffer +\placefigure[leftmargin,none,reset]{}{\reuseMPgraphic{gnome}} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +The graphic is moved into the margin (\type {leftmargin}), has no caption (\type +{none}), and all kind of tricky housekeeping is reset (\type {reset}). + +\startbuffer +\placefigure[left,none,high,low]{}{\reuseMPgraphic{gnome}} +\stopbuffer + +\getbuffer + +Now the next graphic is not influenced by the previous one, so we can place them +close to each other. Use these tricks with care, especially if your document +source is reused and the typeset products are not carefully checked. + +\typebuffer + +When \CONTEXT\ tries to determine if a float fits, it makes a couple of +assumptions, for instance that the available room equals the text height minus +the height of the text so far. You can slightly influence the way these values +are interpreted by setting the calculation method. You can set the methods as +follows: + +\starttyping +\setupfloats[textmethod=0,sidemethod=1] +\stoptyping + +Method~0 just looks at the raw dimensions, while method~1 lessens the maximum +text height by one percent, thereby playing safe. Method~2 takes a window of +1~point. This may lead to better decisions since we may run into rounding errors +of several scaled points (which is small but troublesome). Method~2 is well +suited when typesetting on a grid, because there everything has to fit in a +rounded number of lines, which leaves no room for rounding errors. + +\starttabulate[||c|c|] +\NC \bf grid mode \NC \bf yes \NC \bf no \NC \NR +\NC \type{sidemethod} \NC \type{2} \NC \type{1} \NC \NR +\NC \type{textmethod} \NC \type{2} \NC \type{0} \NC \NR +\stoptabulate + +\startusableMPgraphic{demo-1}{color} + path p ; + p := fullsquare xyscaled (3cm,2LineHeight) ; + fill p withcolor \MPvar{color} ; +\stopusableMPgraphic + +\startusableMPgraphic{demo-2}{color,morecolor} + path p ; p := fullsquare xyscaled (6cm,4LineHeight) ; + path q ; q := fullsquare xyscaled (3cm,2LineHeight) ; + fill p withcolor \MPvar{color} ; + setbounds currentpicture to q ; + fill q withcolor \MPcolor{morecolor} ; +\stopusableMPgraphic + +As you may know by now, we can use the directives \type {high}, \type {low}, +\type {height}, \type {depth} and \type {line} to influence the spacing around a +side float. A real tight spacing can be achieved with \type {fit}. + +\starttyping +\placefigure[left,fit,none]{}{some graphic} +\stoptyping + +\placefigure[left,fit,none]{}{\useMPgraphic{demo-1}{color=red}} + +This kind of placements only make sense in special situations, because normally +you don't want the graphic to touch the text. + +If you think that this is all a user may want, you're wrong. It is not imaginary +that graphics have small pieces sticking out and|/|or lots of white space as part +of their design. In that case, the bounding box can be set to a smaller size. + +\placefigure + [left,fit,none] + {} + {\setlayer + [graphics] + {\useMPgraphic{demo-2}{color=red,morecolor=tgreen}}} + +Now, when handling a side float, \CONTEXT\ first places the float, and then +starts with typesetting the paragraph, cleverly avoiding the graphic. However, +when the graphic is virtually larger than its known size, it may cover part of +the preceding paragraph. + +How come that the graphic starting this paragraph does not do that? It is because +we explicitly moved it to the background. This involves some preparation. At the +document level, we define a layer called \type {graphic}. + +\starttyping +\definelayer[graphics][position=yes] +\stoptyping + +The position directive tells \CONTEXT\ that it should honour the position of the +graphic. Next we must make sure that this layer is placed. + +\starttyping +\setupbackgounds[page][background=graphics] +\stoptyping + +Now we're ready to move graphics to this layer: + +\starttyping +\placefigure + [left,fit,none] + {}{\setlayer[graphics]{graphic}} +\stoptyping + +It's now a small step to more advanced movements. Say that you want to move the +graphic a little bit to the left. In that case you can tell the layer placement +to do so. + +\starttyping +\placefigure + [left,fit,none]{}{\setlayer[graphics][hoffset=-12pt]{graphic}} +\stoptyping + +From this you can deduce that there is also a movement in the vertical direction +using \type {voffset}. In addition you can anchor the graphic using the \type +{location} parameter and provide offsets. + +\placefigure + [left,fit,none] + {} + {\setlayer + [graphics][hoffset=-12pt] + {\useMPgraphic{demo-2}{color=red,morecolor=tgreen}}} + +As soon as you run into situations where float placement is to be consistently +enforced, you will feel the need for dedicate placement macros. For example: + +\startbuffer +\definefloat + [somefloat] + [figure] + +\setupfloat + [somefloat] + [sidespaceafter=, + sidespacebefore=, + default={left,none}] +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +Instead of resetting the side spacing, we could have default to \type {high,low}, +but this way we can overload the default placement and still get zero spacing. + +Throughout this manual we discuss features related to overlays and layers. These +permit you to move content around in ways that either or not depend on the text +flow. We have now come to another trick based on these mechanisms: bleeding. + +When printing a document, you need to take into account that when graphics go +beyond the page boundary, you need to compensate for inaccuracies in cutting the +pages. Such graphics are called bleeding graphics and the amount of bleed is +often a few millimeters. + +The best way to handle such graphics is to use the correct dimensions and play +with the edge widths and distances in combination with backspace and cut space. In +a properly set up layout and by using a well designed set of predefined graphic +placements, you can handle this quite well. A bleeding figure can be defined as +follows: + +\startbuffer +\definefloat + [edgefigure] + [figure] + +\setupfloat + [edgefigure] + [default={inner,height,high,low,none}, + maxwidth=4cm] + +\defineexternalfigure + [edgefigure] + [width=\dimexpr\backspace+4cm-1mm\relax, + lines=4] +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +The default placement is pre|-|configured to have no additional vertical space and +align on the height of a line (this is default behaviour so the \type {height} +key is redundant here. The 1mm in the previous definition simulates what happens +when a page is cut off slightly wrong: we get an annoying gap. + +\startbuffer[a] +\placeedgefigure + {} + {\externalfigure[hacker][edgefigure]} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[a] \getbuffer[a] \fakewords{50}{100} + +One of the nice things about \TEX\ is that you can fine tune dimensions pretty +well. So, instead of the previous placement, which turns out rather ugly, we can +come up with a better one: + +\startbuffer +\setupfloat + [edgefigure] + [default={inner,height,high,low,none}, + maxwidth=4cm, + margin=\strutdepth] + +\defineexternalfigure + [edgefigure] + [width=\dimexpr\backspace+4cm+2mm\relax, + height=\dimexpr3\lineheight+\strutheight\relax] +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +This time we take no risk and add 2mm to the dimensions so that we can be sure +that the edge of the graphic falls outside the page boundary. + +\getbuffer[a] \fakewords{50}{100} + +The \CONTEXT\ resourse library modules provide means to report back the +dimensions of graphics used in a document, so that you can develop (tune) them +with the proper dimensions. In practice a slightly wider than normal graphic +(scaling it horizontally a few millimeters more) does not harm the visual +appearance that much, so adapting a graphic to this kind of bleeding is not +really needed. + +In addition to this (rather natural) way of adding bleed to a graphic, you can +apply the \type {\bleed} macro. In the previously discussed method the figure +placement mechanisms work with the real dimensions. The \type {bleed} macro is +using scaling in a different way: from the perspective of \CONTEXT\ the graphic +remains its original dimensions and the figure placement mechanisms will act +accordingly. We will give a couple of examples of using this macro. + +Permitted bleeding locations are \type {l}, \type {r}, \type {t}, \type {b}, +\type {lr}, \type {bl}, \type {br}, \type {tl} and \type {tr}. + +\startbuffer +\placesomefloat + [left,none,fit] + {} + {\setupbleeding[offset=5mm]% + \bleed[width=5cm,height=1cm,location=l] + {\externalfigure[mill][bleed]}} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer \fakewords{50}{100} + +\startbuffer +\placesomefloat + [left,none,fit] + {} + {\setupbleeding[offset=2mm]% + \bleed[width=5cm,height=1cm,location=l] + {\externalfigure[mill][bleed]}} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer \fakewords{50}{100} + +The amount of bleeding depends on the postprocessing. In the previous paragraph +we used a bleed offset of 5mm, and here we used 2mm. Because the graphic is +scaled in order to match the bleed, it will be slightly distorted. With small +values this will go unnoticed. You can set the offset with: + +\starttyping +\setupbleeding[offset=5mm] +\stoptyping + +Bleeding itself is accomplished by the \type {\bleed} macro as in: + +\starttyping +\bleed + [width=5cm,height=1cm,location=l] + {\externalfigure[mill][width=\bleedwidth,height=\bleedheight]} +\stoptyping + +It is kind of awkward to pass those two dimensions so here is a shorter way of +doing the same: + +\starttyping +\bleed + [width=5cm,height=1cm,location=l] + {\externalfigure[mill][bleed]} +\stoptyping + +In fact, this uses the following definition: + +\starttyping +\defineexternalfigure[bleed][width=\bleedwidth,height=\bleedheight] +\stoptyping + +You can influence the scaling of a graphic by setting the \type {stretch} +parameters. The location parameter determines the direction of the stretch: \type +{l}~(left), \type {r}~(right), \type {t}~(top), \type {b}~(bottom) or a +combination of these. We will now combine the previous example code with this +knowledge. + +\startbuffer +\placefigure + [left] + {} + {\bleed + [stretch=no,voffset=0pt,hoffset=1cm] + {\externalfigure[detcow][bleed]}} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer \fakewords {100} {150} + +\startbuffer +\placefigure + [left] + {} + {\bleed + [width=5cm,height=3cm,location=l] + {\externalfigure[detcow][bleed]}} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer \fakewords {100} {150} + +\startbuffer +\placefigure + [right] + {} + {\bleed + [width=5cm,height=3cm,location=r] + {\externalfigure[detcow][bleed]}} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer \fakewords {100} {150} + +You can combine this feature with layers. We will now show a few applications +which may look like magic at first glance, but will become natural to your +repertoire once you have played with them. + +The next example moves the graphic to a layer associated with the (current) page. + +\startbuffer +\placefigure + [right,none] + {} + {\setlayer + [graphics] + {\bleed + [width=5cm,height=3cm,location=rb] + {\externalfigure[detcow][bleed]}}} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer \fakewords {100} {150} + +You can also predefine locations where graphics (or other content) needs to be +anchored.

\CONTEXT\ and Bacho\TEX meetings it is now a tradition that Harald König and I +spend some time on figuring out what happens with border cases and interfences +with user intervention. As it's hard to nail down I decided to add some more +tracing and control. So, the remainder of this chapter is dedicated to Harald. + +We will now demonstrate some features in a way that makes it possible to +compare to the simple default case. Options can be passed as keywords: + +\starttyping +\placefigure + [left,...] + [fig:whatever] + {caption} + {content} +\stoptyping + +or as settings: + +\starttyping +\startplacefigure + [default={left,...}, + title=caption, + reference=fig:whatever] + + content + +\stopplacefigure +\stoptyping + +It is important to realize that all that spacing can interfere with additional +hard coded corrections at the users end. We don't show the effects of \type +{sidespacebefore} and \type {sidespaceafter}, the two general vertical spacing +hooks. These are currently set to {\tttf \rootfloatparameter {sidespacebefore}} +and {\tttf \rootfloatparameter {sidespaceafter}} respectively. The \type +{sidealign} parameter is always winning from a keyword doing the same. + +The last few examples demonstrate that you can define an instance.

The result can be +confusing, even when we use a font that we assume behaves like a regular style. +For instance in Latin Modern the bold style has larger heights and depths than +the regular style and even 0.1pt can force the snapper to add a line. The +examples use that font. + +The grid option of \type {setuphead} normally takes one keyword that refers to +the local snapper. However, the result gets then snapped again. This is because +the local snapper can use a different line height. Historically the local snapper is +the default but you can force global snapping by prefixing with the \type +{global} keyword.

For instance, we +want to have a proper shape so that not only the filled shape but also the drawn +shape comes out right. You can compare this to a glyph in a font: when rendered +filled the outline can be anything as it will not be drawn but when we use the +outline we can run into overlaps and such. Where glyphs can use the odd|-|even +filling methods, background can only use that for simple cases. + +When a background is rectangular it's all quite easy but as soon as some holes +occur we need to do more work. Holes can be the result of a image placed next to +the running text, or an image flushed at a page break or in the middle of a +background. Paragraph shapes are another example. Backgrounds can cross page +boundaries too. Yet another property is nesting and in such cases the shape is +a bit more complex as we cross lines partially. + +In \MKII\ the background mechanism already was quite useable but it had some +limitations. Calculating the background was mostly delegated to \METAPOST\ which +is reasonable. In \MKIV\ some work is delegated to \LUA\ instead but that doesn't +mean that the code is cleaner or easier to understand. So, to summarize, there +are several cases that we need to take into account, like: + +\startitemize + \startitem + A background can run behind a paragraph in which case the start is + leftmost and end rightmost. In this case inserts (like floats) have to be + dealt with after the shape has been calculated. + \stopitem + \startitem + A background can be in|-|line (the \type {text} location variant) in + which case we need to follow the paragraph shape, if set. In that case we + have a mix of calculating the background shape and afterwards + compensating for inserts. + \stopitem + \startitem + A third case is tabulation and tables where we have dedicated regions to + deal with. When these float we need to make sure that the backgrounds are + adapted to the where they end up. + \stopitem + \startitem + Yet another case is in columns, where we hape multiple regions to deal + with. + \stopitem + \startitem + As mentioned, floats need special treatment and they can be part of the + page flow but also end up left or right of the text (either or not + shifted) but also in the margins, edges, back- or cutspace. Their + placement influences the way backgrounds are calculated so additional + information needs to travel with them. + \stopitem + +\stopitemize + +We distinguish between a paragraph background, which runs between the left and right skip +areas and a text background which follows a shape. In \in {figure} [fig:columns:3] we see a +test case with several such shapes. + +\startplacefigure [reference=fig:columns:3] + \startcombination[4*3] + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=1, width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 1} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=2, width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 2} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=3, width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 3} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=4, width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 4} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=5, width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 5} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=6, width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 6} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=7, width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 7} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=8, width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 8} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=9, width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 9} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=10,width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 10} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=11,width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 11} + {\externalfigure[back-2.pdf][page=12,width=\distributedhsize\textwidth\emwidth4]}{Page 12} + \stopcombination +\stopplacefigure + +In the case of side floats the following cases occur.

Originally that interface to external +libraries was only available in \LUAJITTEX, but a good and compatible alternative +is now also available in the normal engine too. For users it is not that relevant +to know how it works, as long as it works. It means that in addition to \SWIGLIB\ +we have a method that doesn't demand compilation as it uses normal (public) +libraries. + +Of course one needs to make sure that the right version of a library is used. +And, as there is the danger of the \API\ having been changed in an incompatible +way one can wonder if such a dependency is really what one wants. On the other +hand one can expect \CONTEXT\ to keep up. + +Do you really need libraries? For instance does it really make sense to use curl, +ghostscript or graphicmagic libraries while the command line version is +(normally) just as efficient and avoids a dependency. This is even more true if +you realizes that for instance a fetch or conversion only needs to happen once +per run or in fact only when there is some change in the resource. + +On the other hand, when accessing databases one can avoid the often slower +command line calls and save the hassle of intermediate files.

backgrounds to the page and text +areas not only enhances readability, but also makes it more convenient to +identify header, footers and navigational areas. In this chapter we will +demonstrate that with \METAPOST\ we can go beyond the \TEX\ based features +present in \CONTEXT. One section is dedicated to graphics and printing, +especially bleeding. + +\stopintro + +\startsection[title={The basic layout}] + +\index {layout} + +In the \CONTEXT\ manual you can find many details on the composition of the page. +When \TEX\ typesets text, crossing the page boundary triggers \TEX's output +routine. This routine is responsible for pasting the body text that goes onto a +page in the correct area. A simple representation of such a page is: + +\startbuffer[a] +\startuseMPgraphic{layout 1} + pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; + fill unitsquare xyscaled (7cm,8cm) + withcolor .85white ; + fill unitsquare xyscaled (5cm,5cm) shifted (1cm,1.5cm) + withcolor .625yellow ; + fill unitsquare xyscaled (5cm,1cm) shifted (1cm,.5cm) + withcolor .625red ; + fill unitsquare xyscaled (5cm,1cm) shifted (1cm,6.5cm) + withcolor .625red ; + draw unitsquare xyscaled (5cm,7cm) shifted (1cm,.5cm) + withcolor .25white ; + drawarrow (2cm,8cm) -- top (2cm,7.5cm) ; + drawarrow (0cm,7cm) -- lft (1cm,7cm) ; + clip currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled (7cm,8cm) ; +\stopuseMPgraphic +\stopbuffer + +\startbuffer[b] +\startuseMPgraphic{layout 2} + \includeMPgraphic{layout 1} + clip currentpicture to unitsquare scaled 3cm shifted (0,5cm) ; + currentpicture := currentpicture scaled 2 shifted (0,-8cm) ; + setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled (6cm,8cm) ; +\stopuseMPgraphic +\stopbuffer + +\getbuffer[a,b] + +\startbuffer[c] +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\hbox + {\useMPgraphic{layout 1}\hskip1cm + \useMPgraphic{layout 2}} +\stoplinecorrection +\stopbuffer + +\getbuffer[c] + +The red areas are the header and footer, while the yellow areas contains the text +flow. We can turn headers on and off and|/|or hide them. For this reason, the +header, text and footer areas together make up the height of the text. + +A close look at the left picture will reveal that the two arrows point to the +center of the lines. This is achieved by the \type {top} and \type {lft} +directives. If we would not have clipped the picture, the arrow would have stuck +half a line width outside the gray area that represents the page. When +constructing such pictures, one should really pay attention to such details, +since it pays off in the overall look and feel of the document. + +The vertical arrow represents the top space, while the horizontal arrow denotes +the distance to the back of the cover (back space). By changing their values, you +can shift the main body text on the page. In a double sided layout scheme, the +back space is automatically mirrored on even pages. + +An advanced \METAPOST\ user may wonder why we hard code the dimensions, and avoid +\METAPOST's powerful mechanisms for defining relations. Our experience has taught +us that in pictures like this, providing a general solution seldom pays large +dividents or savings in time. + +\typebuffer[a] + +As you can see, the left graphic is defined as a series of rectangles. The \type +{xyscaled} macro is part of the \CONTEXT\ files, and saves some typing and space. +It is defined as a primary, requiring both left and right operands. + +\starttyping +primarydef p xyscaled q = + p xscaled (xpart q) yscaled (ypart q) +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +Zooming in on the top left corner only takes a few lines. First we clip the +correct part, next we scale it up, and finally we let the bounding box suit the +left picture. + +\typebuffer[b] + +This code demonstrates how you can reuse a graphic inside another one.

Since the exact dimensions of graphics play an +important role in the placement of a graphic, we will explore the way a bounding +box is constructed. + +We will also pay attention to the usage of units and the side effects of scaling +and shifting, since they can contradict our expectations in unexpected ways. +Furthermore we will explore a few obscure areas. + +\stopintro + +\startsection[title={Making graphics}] + +\index{graphics} + +In this manual we will use \METAPOST\ in a rather straightforward way, and we +will try to avoid complicated math as much as possible. We will do a bit of +drawing, clipping, and moving around. Occasionally we will see some more +complicated manipulations. + +When defined as stand||alone graphic, a \METAPOST\ file looks like this: + +\starttyping +% Let's draw a circle. + +beginfig (7) ; + draw fullcircle scaled 3cm withpen pencircle scaled 1cm ; +endfig ; + +end . +\stoptyping + +The main structuring components in such a file are the \type {beginfig} and \type +{endfig} macros. Like in a big story, the file has many sub||sentences, where +each sub||sentence ends with a semi||colon. Although the \type {end} command at +the end of the file concludes the story, putting a period there is a finishing +touch. Actually, after the \type {end} command you can put whatever text you +wish, your comments, your grocery list, whatever. Comments in \METAPOST, prefixed +by a percent sign, as in \typ {% Let's draw a circle}, are ignored by the +interpreter, but useful reminders for the programmer. + +If the file is saved as \type {yourfile.mp}, then the file is processed by +\METAPOST\ by issuing the following command: + +\starttyping +mpost yourfile +\stoptyping + +after which you will have a graphic called \type {yourfile.7}, which contains a +series of \POSTSCRIPT\ commands. Because \METAPOST\ does all the work, this file +is efficient and compact. The number of distinct \POSTSCRIPT\ operators used is +limited, which has the advantage that we can postprocess this file rather easily. +Alternatively \METAPOST\ can generate \SVG\ output. It does when you say + +\starttyping +outputformat := "svg" ; +\stoptyping + +Here we will not go into details about this format. Even \POSTSCRIPT\ is not +covered in detail as we use \METAPOST\ mostly in embedded form. + +We can view this file in a \POSTSCRIPT\ viewer like \GHOSTVIEW\ or convert the +graphic to \PDF\ (using \type {mptopdf}) and view the result in a suitable \PDF\ +viewer like \ACROBAT. Of course, you can embed such a file in a \CONTEXT\ +document, using a command like: + +\starttyping +\externalfigure[yourfile.7] +\stoptyping + +We will go in more detail about embedding graphics in \in {chapter} +[sec:embedding]. + +If you have installed \CONTEXT, somewhere on your system there resides a file +\type {mp-tool.mp}. If you make a stand||alone graphic, it's best to put the +following line at the top of your file: + +\starttyping +input mp-tool ; % or input metafun ; +\stoptyping + +By loading this file, the resulting graphic will provide a high resolution +bounding box, which enables more accurate placement. The file also sets the \typ +{prologues := 1} so that viewers like \GHOSTVIEW\ can refresh the file when it is +changed. + +Next we will introduce some more \METAPOST\ commands. From now on, we will omit +the encapsulating \type {beginfig} and \type {endfig} macros. If you want to +process these examples yourself, you should add those commands yourself, or if +you use \CONTEXT\ you don't need them at all. + +\startbuffer +pickup pencircle scaled .5cm ; +draw unitsquare xscaled 8cm yscaled 1cm withcolor .625white ; +draw origin withcolor .625yellow ; +pickup pencircle scaled 1pt ; +draw bbox currentpicture withcolor .625red ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +In this example we see a mixture of so called primitives as well as macros. A +primitive is something hard coded, a built||in command, while a macro is a +collection of such primitives, packaged in a way that they can be recalled +easily. Where \type {scaled} is a primitive and \type {draw} a macro, \type +{unitsquare} is a path variable, an abbreviation for: + +\starttyping +unitsquare = (0,0) -- (1,0) -- (1,1) -- (0,1) -- cycle ; +\stoptyping + +The double dash (\type {--}) is also a macro, used to connect two points with a +straight line segment. However, \type {cycle} is a primitive, which connects the +last point of the unitsquare to the first on unitsquare's path. Path variables +must first be declared, as in: + +\starttyping +path unitsquare ; +\stoptyping + +A large collection of such macros is available when you launch \METAPOST. Consult +the \METAPOST\ manual for details. + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +In the first line of our example, we set the drawing pen to \type {.5cm}. You can +also specify such a dimension in other units, like points (\type {pt}). When no +unit is provided, \METAPOST\ will use a big point (\type {bp}) , the \POSTSCRIPT\ +approximation of a point. + +The second line does just as it says: it draws a rectangle of certain dimensions +in a certain color. In the third line we draw a colored dot at the origin of the +coordinate system in which we are drawing. Finally, we set up a smaller pen and +draw the bounding box of the current picture, using the variable \type +{currentpicture}. Normally, all drawn shapes end up in this picture variable. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Bounding boxes}] + +\index{boundingbox} + +If you take a close look at the last picture in the previous section, you will +notice that the bounding box is larger than the picture. This is one of the nasty +side effects of \METAPOST's \type {bbox} macro. This macro draws a box, but with +a certain offset. The next example shows how we can manipulate this offset. +Personally I never use the \type {bbox} macro because this offset is rather +annoying. Also, the \type {boundingbox} operator combined with \type {enlarged} +can provide any offset you want. + +\startbuffer +pickup pencircle scaled .5cm ; +draw unitsquare xscaled 8cm yscaled 1cm withcolor .625white ; +path bb ; bboxmargin := 0pt ; bb := bbox currentpicture ; +draw bb withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red ; +draw origin withpen pencircle scaled 5pt withcolor .625yellow ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +In the third line we define a path variable. We assign the current bounding box +to this variable, but first we set the offset to zero. The last line demonstrates +how to draw such a path. Instead of setting the pen as we did in the first line, +we pass the dimensions directly. + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +Where \type {draw} draws a path, the \type {fill} macro fills one.

Note +% how the path, because it is stroked with a .5cm pen, extends +% beyond the border of the bounding box. The way this image +% shows up depends on the viewer (settings) you use to render +% the graphic. For example, in \GHOSTVIEW, if you disable +% clipping to the bounding box, only the positive quadrant of +% the graphic is shown. Further, if you enable clipping to the +% bounding box, this image will look exactly like the previous +% image created with the fill command.

We keep them around both for compatibility.} Next we demonstrate its use in +another, more complicated example. + +\startbuffer +picture finalpicture ; finalpicture := nullpicture ; +numeric n ; n := 0 ; bboxmargin := 0pt ; +pickup pencircle scaled .5cm ; + +def shape = + unitsquare scaled 2cm withcolor .625white ; + draw bbox currentpicture + withpen pencircle scaled .5mm withcolor .625red ; + addto finalpicture also currentpicture shifted(n*3cm,0) ; + currentpicture := nullpicture ; n := n+1 ; +enddef ; + +fill shape ; draw shape ; filldraw shape ; drawfill shape ; + +currentpicture := finalpicture ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +Here we introduce a macro definition, \type {shape}. In \METAPOST, the start of a +macro definition is indicated with the keyword \type {def}. Thereafter, you can +insert other variables and commands, even other macro definitions. The keyword +\type {enddef} signals the end of the macro definition. The result is shown in +\in {figure} [fig:draws and fills]; watch the bounding boxes. Close reading of +the macro will reveal that the \type {fill}, \type {draw}, \type {filldraw} and +\type {drawfill} macros are applied to the first \type {unitsquare} path in the +macro. + +\placefigure + [here] + [fig:draws and fills] + {A \type {fill}, \type {draw}, \type {filldraw} and \type + {drawfill} applied to the same square.} + {\processMPbuffer} + +In this macro, \type {bbox} calls a macro that returns the enlarged bounding box +of a path. By setting \type {bboxmargin} we can influence how much the bounding +box is enlarged. Since this is an existing variable, we don't have to allocate +it, like we do with~\type{numeric n}. Unless you take special precautions, +variables are global by nature and persistent outside macros. + +\starttyping +picture finalpicture ; finalpicture := nullpicture ; +\stoptyping + +Just as \type {numeric} allocates an integer variable, the \type {picture} +primitive allocates a picture data structure.

Another handy macro is +\type {boundingbox}. When used instead of \type {bbox}, you don't have to set the +margin to zero. + +\startbuffer +drawoptions (withcolor .625white) ; +path p ; p := unitsquare scaled 2cm ; +fill p shifted (3cm,0) ; +pickup pencircle scaled .5cm ; fill p shifted (6cm,0) ; +fill p shifted (9cm,0) withpen pencircle scaled .5cm ; +\stopbuffer + +\placefigure + [here] + [fig:more draws and fills] + {The influence of pens on \type {fill}.} + {\processMPbuffer} + +There is a subtle point in filling a shape. In \in {figure} [fig:more draws and +fills] you see the influence of the pen on a \type {fill} operation. An indirect +specification has no influence, and results in a filled rectangle with sharp +corners. The third rectangle is drawn with a direct pen specification which +results in a larger shape with rounds corners. However, the bounding box is the +same in all three cases. The graphic is defined as follows. This time we don't +use a (complicated) macro. + +\typebuffer + +When a graphic is constructed, its components end up in an internal data +structure in a more or less layered way. This means that as long as a graphic is +not flushed, you may consider it to be a stack of paths and texts with the paths +being drawn or filled shapes or acting as clipping paths or bounding boxes. + +When you ask for the dimensions of a graphic the lower left and upper right +corner are calculated using this stack. Because you can explicitly set bounding +boxes, you can lie about the dimensions of a graphic. This is a very useful +feature. In the rare case that you want to know the truth and nothing but the +truth, you can tweak the \type {truecorners} numeric variable.

This means that a circle scaled to 100 in \METAPOST\ is not the same as a +circle scaled to 100 in \METAFONT. Consider the next definition: + +\startbuffer +pickup pencircle scaled 0 ; +fill unitsquare + xscaled 400pt yscaled -.5cm withcolor .625red ; +fill unitsquare + xscaled 400bp yscaled +.5cm withcolor .625yellow ; +drawoptions(withcolor white) ; +label.rt("400 pt", origin shifted (0, -.25cm)) ; +label.rt("400 bp", origin shifted (0, +.25cm)) ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +When processed, the difference between a \type {pt} and \type {bp} shows rather +well. Watch how we use \type {.rt} to move the label to the right; you can +compare this with \TEX's macro \type {\rlap}. You might want to experiment with +\type {.lft}, \type {.top}, \type {.bot}, \type {.ulft}, \type {.urt}, \type +{.llft} and \type {.lrt}. + +The difference between both bars is exactly \scratchdimen = 400 bp +\advance\scratchdimen by -400 pt \the \scratchdimen \space (as calculated by +\TEX). + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +Where \TEX\ is anchored in tradition, and therefore more or less uses the \type +{pt} as the default unit, \METAPOST, much like \POSTSCRIPT, has its roots in the +computer sciences. There, to simplify calculations, an inch is divided in 72 big +points, and .72pt is sacrificed. + +When you consider that \POSTSCRIPT\ is a high end graphic programming language, +you may wonder why this sacrifice was made. Although the difference between \type +{1bp} and \type {1pt} is miniscule, this difference is the source of much +(unknown) confusion. When \TEX\ users talk about a \type {10pt} font, a desktop +publisher hears \type {10bp}. In a similar vein, when we define a papersize +having a width of \type {600pt} and a height of \type {450pt}, which is papersize +\type {S6} in \CONTEXT, a \POSTSCRIPT\ or \PDF\ viewer will report slightly +smaller values as page dimensions. This is because those programs claim the \type +{pt} to be a \type {bp}. [This confusion can lead to interesting discussions with +desktop publishers when they have to use \TEX. They often think that their demand +of a baseline distance of \type {13.4} is met when we set it to \type {13.4pt}, +while actually they were thinking of \type {13.4bp}, which of course in other +programs is specified using a \type {pt} suffix.] + +Therefore, when embedding graphics in \CONTEXT, we strongly recommend that you +use \type {pt} as the base unit instead. The main reason why we spend so many +words on this issue is that, when neglected, large graphics may look inaccurate. +Actually, when taken care of, it is one of the (many) reasons why \TEX\ documents +always look so accurate. Given that the eye is sensitive to distortions of far +less than \type {1pt}, you can be puzzled by the fact that many drawing programs +only provide a bounding box in rounded units. Thereby, they round to the next +position, to prevent unwanted cropping. For some reason this low resolution has +made it into the high end \POSTSCRIPT\ standard. + +In \CONTEXT\ we try to deal with these issues as well as possible. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Scaling and shifting}] + +\index{scaling} +\index{shifting} + +When we draw a shape, \METAPOST\ will adapt the bounding box accordingly.

Because vectors and angles are straightforward, we will focus a bit +on \type {curl}. + +\starttyping +z0 .. z1 .. z2 +z0 {curl 1} .. z1 .. {curl 1} z2 +\stoptyping + +So, a \type {curl} of~1 is the default.

When we use +\METAPOST\ maximum value of \type {infinity} instead of~2, we get: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[a,b] +\stoplinecorrection + +These curves were defined as: + +\typebuffer[b] + +It may sound strange, but internally \METAPOST\ can handle +larger values than \type {infinity}. + +\startbuffer[b] +sample (z1 {curl infinity} .. z2 .. {curl infinity} z3, .625red) ; +sample (z1 {curl 4infinity} .. z2 .. {curl 4infinity} z3, .625yellow) ; +sample (z1 {curl 8infinity} .. z2 .. {curl 8infinity} z3, .625white) ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[b] + +Although this is quite certainly undefined behaviour, interesting effects can be +achieved. When you turn off \METAPOST's first stage overflow catcher by setting +\type {warningcheck} to zero, you can go upto 8 times \type {infinity}, which, +being some $2^{15}$, is still far from what today's infinity is supposed to be. + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[a,b] +\stoplinecorrection + +As the built||in \METAPOST\ command \type {..} accepts the \type {curl} and \type +{tension} directives as described in this section, you will now probably +understand the following plain \METAPOST\ definitions: + +\starttyping +def -- = {curl 1} .. {curl 1} enddef ; +def --- = .. tension infinity .. enddef ; +def ... = .. tension atleast 1 .. enddef ; +\stoptyping + +These definitions also point out why you cannot add directives to the left or +right side of \type {--}, \type {---} and \type {...}: they are directives +themselves! + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Transformations}] + +\index{transformations} + +A \type {transform} is a vector that is used in what is called an affine +transformation. To quote the \METAPOST\ manual: + +\startquotation +If $p=(p_x,p_y)$ is a pair and $T$ is a transform, then +\type {p transform T} is a pair of the form: + +\startformula +(t_x + t_{xx} p_x + t_{xy} p_y, t_y + t_{yx} p_x + t_{yy} p_y) +\stopformula + +where the six numeric quantities $(t_x, t_y, t_{xx}, t_{xy}, +t_{yx}, t_{yy})$ determine T. +\stopquotation + +In literature concerning \POSTSCRIPT\ and \PDF\ you will find many references to +such transformation matrices. A matrix of $(s_x,0,0,s_y,0,0)$ is scaling by $s_x$ +in the horizontal direction and $s_y$ in the vertical direction, while +$(1,0,t_x,1,0,t_y)$ is a shift over $t_x,t_y$. Of course combinations are also +possible. + +Although these descriptions seem in conflict with each other in the nature and +order of the transform components in the vectors, the concepts are the same. You +normally populate transformation matrices using \type {scaled}, \type {shifted}, +\type {rotated}. + +\starttyping +transform t ; t := identity shifted (a,b) rotated c scaled d ; +path p ; p := fullcircle transformed t ; +\stoptyping + +The previous lines of code are equivalent to: + +\starttyping +path p ; p := fullcircle shifted (a,b) rotated c scaled d ; +\stoptyping + +You always need a starting point, in this case the identity matrix \type +{identity}: $(0,0,1,0,0,1)$. By the way, in \POSTSCRIPT\ the zero vector is +$(1,0,0,1,0,0)$. So, unless you want to extract the components using \type +{xpart}, \type {xypart}, \type {xxpart}, \type {ypart}, \type {yxpart} and|/|or \ +\type {yypart}, you may as well forget about the internal representation. + +You can invert a transformation using the \type {inverse} macro, which is defined +as follows, using an equation: + +\starttyping +vardef inverse primary T = + transform T_ ; T_ transformed T = identity ; T_ +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +Using transform matrices makes sense when similar transformations need to be +applied on many paths, pictures, pens, or other transforms. However, in most +cases you will use the predefined commands \type {scaled}, \type {shifted}, \type +{rotated} and alike.

In later chapters we will discuss text in more detail. + +From the previous examples it may be clear that each picture has some associated +data stored with it. From the \type {bounded} boolean test we can conclude that +the bounding box is part of this data. Internally \METAPOST\ keeps track of two +bounding boxes: the natural one, and the forced one. The forced one is actually a +component of the picture which applies to all previously added graphics. You can +calculate the bounding box from the \type {llcorner} and \type {urcorner} or if +you like \type {ulcorner} and \type {lrcorner} and the \METAFUN\ command \type +{boundingbox} does so. + +The four corners that make up the bounding box are either the natural ones, or +the ones forced by \type {setbounds}. You can force \METAPOST\ to report the +natural ones by setting \type {truecorners} to~1. The next example demonstrates +this feature. + +\startbuffer +pickup pencircle scaled 2mm ; path p, q ; +draw fullcircle + scaled 4cm slanted .5 withcolor .625white ; +setbounds currentpicture to + boundingbox currentpicture enlarged -5mm ; +interim truecorners := 0 ; p := boundingbox currentpicture ; +interim truecorners := 1 ; q := boundingbox currentpicture ; +pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; +draw p withcolor .625red ; +draw q withcolor .625yellow ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +We use \type {interim} because \type {truecorners} is an internal \METAPOST\ +variable. + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +% % we already redefined infont so it's kind of dangerous to provide this example +% +% Since \METAPOST\ can handle fonts (it can even generate font metric files) it is +% no surprise that we can also ask for the natural size of a font. For this we use +% \type {fontsize}. However, you should beware of the fact that the size reported +% is in base points. Since this is \METAPOST's native unit, this is no problem in +% calculations, but it may look confusing when you \type {show} this size on your +% terminal and get less that 10 reported for a \type {cmr10} font. +% +% \starttyping +% show fontsize "cmr10" ; +% \stoptyping +% +% In order to demonstrate that \type {fontsize} is useful, we extend the \type +% {infont} command.

We do so +% with \type {infont}: +% +% \startbuffer[a] +% let normalinfont = infont ; +% \stopbuffer +% +% \typebuffer[a] +% +% We can only know the size if we know the name of the font, so we have to redefine +% \type {infont} to pick up this name. +% +% \startbuffer[b] +% numeric lastfontsize ; lastfontsize = fontsize defaultfont ; +% \stopbuffer +% +% \startbuffer[c] +% primarydef infont primary name = % patched: def should work too +% hide(lastfontsize := fontsize name) +% normalinfont name +% enddef ; +% \stopbuffer +% +% \typebuffer[c] +% +% Because we are replacing an operator, and since \METAPOST\ expects one, we have +% to use \type {def} instead of \type {vardef} (which is actually a kind of +% variable). For the same reason, we have to pick up a \type {primary}. If we would +% use a \typ {expr name}, we would end up in an unwanted look ahead. The \type +% {hide} macro hides the assignment and makes this macro behave like a \type +% {vardef} with respect to hiding expressions. We may not put a semi colon after +% the \type {)} because it would stop \METAPOST\ from reading on, and thereby +% invoke an error message. +% +% We can now define \type {at}.

The +standard format is called {metapost} but we will use a more extensive set of +macros \type {metafun}. In the past such a set was converted into a \type {mem} +file and running the above file was done with: + +\starttyping +mpost --mem=metafun.mem yourfile +\stoptyping + +However, this is no longer the case and macros need to be loaded at startup as +follows: + +\starttyping +mpost --ini metafun.mpii yourfile.mp +\stoptyping + +Watch the suffix \type {mpii}: this refers to the stand alone, the one that +doesn't rely on \LUATEX. + +After the run the results are available in \type {yourfile.1} and can be viewed +with \GHOSTSCRIPT.

The current version is produced with \LUATEX\ and \CONTEXT\ +\MKIV, which brings down the runtime (including runtime calls to independent +\CONTEXT\ runs for the outline examples) to some 45 seconds on a 2.2 Gig Dell +M90. Given that (at the time of writing this) over 1700 graphics are generated on +the fly, this is not bad at all. On my current machine, a Dell M6700 with an +Intel Core i7|-|3840QM running at 2.8 (3.9) Ghz (and Windows~8) the runtime of +the third version was just above 20 seconds all|-|in and some 25\percent\ less +when using \LUAJITTEX. When I started with updating to version 4 of this manual, +I timed about 15 seconds on the same machine (but with Windows-10) which means +that in the meantime the \CONTEXT|/|\LUATEX\ combination gained some 25\% +performance. Using the new Bash|-|On|-|Windows subsystem gives the same +performance. Of course each update adds pages so in the end we need more time +with each update but it remains a nice test case.

Since this document is not meant as a \CONTEXT\ tutorial, we will +limit this introduction to the basics needed to run the examples. + +A simple document looks like: + +\starttyping +\starttext + Some text. +\stoptext +\stoptyping + +You can process this document with the \LUA\ based command line interface to +\CONTEXT. If the source code is embedded in the file \type {mytext.tex}, you can +say: + +\starttyping +context mytext +\stoptyping + +We will use color, and in \MKIV\ color is enabled by default.

A \METAPOST\ graphic often has a number as suffix, so embedding +such a graphic is done by: + +\starttyping +\externalfigure[graphic.123][width=4cm] +\stoptyping + +An alternative method is to separate the definition from the inclusion. An +example of a definition is: + +\starttyping +\useexternalfigure[pentastar][star.803][height=4cm] +\useexternalfigure[octostar] [star.804][pentastar] +\stoptyping + +Here, the second definition inherits the characteristics from the first one. +These graphics can be summoned like: + +\starttyping +\placefigure + {A five||point star drawn by \METAPOST.} + {\externalfigure[pentastar]} +\stoptyping + +Here the stars are defined as stand||alone graphics, in a file called \type +{star.mp}. Such a file can look like: + +\starttyping +def star (expr size, n, pos) = + for a=0 step 360/n until round(360*(1-1/n)) : + draw (origin -- (size/2,0)) + rotatedaround (origin,a) shifted pos ; + endfor ; +enddef ; + +beginfig(803) ; + pickup pencircle scaled 2mm ; star(2cm,5,origin) ; +endfig ; + +beginfig(804) ; + pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; star(1cm,8,origin) ; + pickup pencircle scaled 2mm ; star(2cm,7,(3cm,0)) ; +endfig ; + +end. +\stoptyping + +This \type {star} macro will produce graphics like: + +\startbuffer +def star (expr size, n, pos) = + for a=0 step 360/n until round(360*(1-1/n)) : + draw (origin -- (size/2,0)) + rotatedaround (origin,a) shifted pos ; + endfor ; +enddef ; + +for i=5 upto 10 : + drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 2mm withcolor .625red) ; + star(1cm,i,origin shifted (i*2cm,0)) ; +endfor ; +\stopbuffer + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +But, now that we have instant \METAPOST\ available in \LUATEX, there is no need +for external images and we can collect them in libraries, as we will see later +on. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Integrated graphics}] + +\index{graphics+embedded} + +An integrated graphic is defined in the document source or in a style definition +file. The most primitive way of doing this is just inserting the code: + +\starttyping +\startMPcode + fill fullcircle scaled 200pt withcolor .625white ; +\stopMPcode +\stoptyping + +Such a graphic is used once at the spot where it is defined. In this document we +also generate graphics while we finish a page, so there is a good chance that +when we have constructed a graphic which will be called on the next page, the +wrong graphic is placed. + +For this reason there are are more convenient ways of defining and using +graphics, which have the added advantage that you can predefine multiple +graphics, thereby separating the definitions from the usage. + +The first alternative is a {\em usable} graphic. Such a graphic is calculated +anew each time it is used. An example of a usable graphic is: + +\starttyping +\startuseMPgraphic{name} + fill fullcircle scaled 200pt withcolor .625yellow ; +\stopuseMPgraphic +\stoptyping + +When you put this definition in the preamble of your document, you can place this +graphic anywhere in the file, saying: + +\starttyping +\useMPgraphic{name} +\stoptyping + +As said, this graphic is calculated each time it is placed, which can be time +consuming. Apart from the time aspect, this also means that the graphic itself is +incorporated many times. Therefore, for graphics that don't change, \CONTEXT\ +provides {\em reusable} graphics: + +\starttyping +\startreusableMPgraphic{name} + fill fullcircle scaled 200pt withcolor .625yellow; +\stopreusableMPgraphic +\stoptyping + +This definition is accompanied by: + +\starttyping +\reuseMPgraphic{name} +\stoptyping + +Imagine that we use a graphic as a background for a button. We can create a +unique and reusable graphic by saying: + +\starttyping +\def\MyGraphic + {\startreusableMPgraphic{name:\overlaywidth:\overlayheight} + path p ; p := unitsquare + xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight ; + fill p withcolor .625yellow ; + draw p withcolor .625red ; + \stopreusableMPgraphic + \reuseMPgraphic{name:\overlaywidth:\overlayheight}} +\stoptyping + +Notice the use of \type {OverlayWidth} and \type {OverlayHeight}. These variables +are set for each call to \METAPOST. After this we can say: + +\starttyping +\defineoverlay[my graphic][\MyGraphic] +\button[background=my graphic,frame=off]{Go Home}[firstpage] +\stoptyping + +Say that we have a 30pt by 20pt button, then the identifier will be \type +{name:30pt:20pt}. Different dimensions will lead to other identifiers, so this +sort of makes the graphics unique. + +We can bypass the ugly looking \type {\def} by using a third class of embedded +graphics, the {\em unique} graphics. + +\starttyping +\startuniqueMPgraphic{name} + path p ; p := unitsquare + xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight ; + fill p withcolor .625yellow ; + draw p withcolor .625red ; +\stopuniqueMPgraphic +\stoptyping + +Now we can say: + +\starttyping +\defineoverlay[my graphic][\uniqueMPgraphic{name}] +\button[background=my graphic,frame=off]{Go Home}[firstpage] +\stoptyping + +A shorter variant is: + +\starttyping +\startuniqueMPgraphic{name} + fill OverlayBox withcolor .625yellow ; + draw OverlayBox withcolor .625red ; +\stopuniqueMPgraphic +\stoptyping + +You may wonder why unique graphics are needed when a single graphic might be used +multiple times by scaling it to fit the situation. Since a unique graphic is +calculated for each distinctive case, we can be sure that the current +circumstances are taken into account. Also, scaling would result in incomparable +graphics. Consider the following definition: + +\startbuffer[a] +\startuseMPgraphic{demo} + draw unitsquare + xscaled 5cm yscaled 1cm + withpen pencircle scaled 2mm + withcolor .625red ; +\stopuseMPgraphic +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[a] + +Since we reuse the graphic, the dimensions are sort of fixed, and because the +graphic is calculated once, scaling it will result in incompatible line widths. + +\startbuffer[b] +\hbox \bgroup + \scale[width=5cm,height=1cm]{\useMPgraphic{demo}}\quad + \scale[width=8cm,height=1cm]{\useMPgraphic{demo}}% +\egroup +\stopbuffer + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\getbuffer[a,b] +\stoplinecorrection + +These graphics were placed with: + +\typebuffer[b] + +Imagine what happens when we add some buttons to an interactive document without +taking care of this side effect.

Create a file that + +\starttyping +\startMPpage + % Your mp code goes here.

This can be handy when making documentation, so it +makes sense to spend a few words on them. + +A buffer is a container for content that is to be (re|)|used later on. The main +reason for their existence is that they were needed for typesetting manuals and +articles on \TEX. By putting the code snippets in buffers, we don't have to key +in the code twice, since we can either show the code of buffers verbatim, or +process the code as part of the text flow. This means that the risk of mismatch +between the code shown and the typeset text is minimized. + +\startbuffer[a] +\startbuffer +You are reading the \METAFUN\ manual. +\stopbuffer +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[a] + +This buffer can be typeset verbatim using \type {\typebuffer} and processed using +\type {\getbuffer}, as we will do now: + +\blank \getbuffer[a] \blank + +An other advantage of using buffers, is that they help you keeping the document +source clean. In many places in this manual we put table or figure definitions in +a buffer and pass the buffer to another command, like: + +\starttyping +\placefigure{A very big table}{\getbuffer} +\stoptyping + +Sometimes it makes sense to collect buffers in separate files. In that case we +give them names. + +\startbuffer +\startbuffer[mfun] +You are reading the \METAFUN\ manual. +\stopbuffer +\stopbuffer + +This time we should say \type {\typebuffer[mfun]} to typeset the code verbatim. +Instead of \TEX\ code, we can put \METAPOST\ definitions in buffers. + +\startbuffer +\startbuffer[graphic] +draw fullcircle scaled 2cm ; +\stopbuffer +\stopbuffer + +Buffers can be used to stepwise build graphics.

In \CONTEXT, colors are called by name. + +The next definitions demonstrate that we can define a color using different color +models, \RGB\ or \CMYK. Depending on the configuration, \CONTEXT\ will convert +one color system to the other, \RGB\ to \CMYK, or vice versa. The full repertoire +of color components that can be set is as follows. + +\starttyping +\definecolor[color one] [r=.1, g=.2, b=.3] +\definecolor[color two] [c=.4, m=.5, y=.6, k=.7] +\definecolor[color three][s=.8] +\stoptyping + +The numbers are limited to the range $0\dots1$ and represent percentages.

The next example uses two of them. + +\startbuffer +\startuseMPgraphic{color demo} + pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; + path p ; p := fullcircle xscaled 10cm yscaled 1cm ; + fill p withcolor \MPcolor{darkgray} ; + draw p withcolor \MPcolor{darkred} ; +\stopuseMPgraphic + +\useMPgraphic{color demo} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +The previous example uses a pure \RGB\ red shade, combined with a gray fill. + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\getbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +Originally \METAPOST\ only supported only the \RGB\ and gray color spaces. In \METAFUN\ +we also supported \CMYK\ and spot colors, using an extension mechanism that hooked into +the backend. At some point \METAPOST\ got native support for \CMYK. When you use mixed +color models you need to be aware of the fact that their related variables have different +types: + +\starttabulate[||T|T|] +\NC gray \NC numeric \NC s \NC \NR +\NC rgb \NC color \NC (r,g,b) \NC \NR +\NC cmyk \NC cmykcolor \NC (c,m,y,k) \NC \NR +\stoptabulate + +Because in \METAFUN\ (\type {mpiv}) we hook deeply into the \CONTEXT\ color +mechanisms we can use symbolic names instead. and these are just strings. + +There is a fundamental difference between a yellow as defined in \CONTEXT\ using +\CMYK\ and a \RGB\ yellow. + +\startbuffer +\definecolor[cmyyellow] [y=1] +\definecolor[rgbyellow] [r=1,g=1] + +\definecolor[cmydarkyellow][y=.625] +\definecolor[rgbdarkyellow][r=.625,g=.625] +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +\in {Figure} [fig:many yellows:pass] demonstrates what happens when we multiply +colors by a factor.

Of course you can also +% decide to let \TEXEXEC\ take care of processing the graphics afterwards. This has +% the advantage of being faster but has the disadvantage that you need additional +% \TEX\ runs. +% +% If you generate the graphics at run time, you should consider to turn on graphic +% slot recycling, which means that you often end up with fewer intermediate files: +% +% \starttyping +% \recycleMPslotstrue +% \stoptyping +% +% There are a few more low level switches and features, but these go beyond the +% purpose of this manual. Some of these features, like the option to add tokens to +% \type {\everyMPgraphic} are for experts only, and fooling around with them can +% interfere with existing features. +% +% \stopsection + +\startsection[title={One page graphics}] + +An advantage of using \CONTEXT\ to make your \METAPOST\ graphics is you don't +have to bother about specials, font inclusion and all those nasty things that can +spoil a good day. An example of such a graphic is the file \type {mfun-800} that +resides on the computer of the author. + +\typefile{mfun-800} + +Given that \CONTEXT\ is present on your system, you can process this file with: + +\starttyping +context mfun-800 +\stoptyping + +You can define many graphics in one file. Later you can include individual pages +from the resulting \PDF\ file in your document: + +\startbuffer +\placefigure + {A silly figure, demonstrating that stand||alone||graphics + can be made.} + {\typesetfile[mfun-800.tex][page=1]} +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +In this case the \type {page=1} specification is not really needed. You can scale +and manipulate the figure in any way supported by the macro package that you use. + +\getbuffer + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Managing resources}] + +A graphic consists of curves, either or not filled with a given color. A graphic +can also include text, which means that fonts are used. Finally a graphic can +have special effects, like a shaded fill. Colors, fonts and special effects go +under the name resources, since they may demand special care or support from the +viewing or printing device. + +% When fonts are used, a \METAPOST\ file is not self contained. This means that the +% postprocessing program has to deal with the fonts. In \CONTEXT, the special +% driver |<|and \PDFTEX\ support is considered as such|>| takes care of this. + +Special effects, like shading, are supported by dedicated \METAPOST\ modules. +These are included in the \CONTEXT\ distribution and will be discussed later in +\in {chapter} [sec:effects]. + +Since \METAPOST\ supports color, an embedded graphic can be rather colorful. +However, when color support is disabled or set up to convert colors to gray +scales, \CONTEXT\ will convert the colors in the graphics to gray scales. + +\startbuffer[circle] + colorcircle(4cm,red,green,blue) ; +\stopbuffer + +\startbuffer +\startcombination[3*1] + {\setupcolors[state=start]\processMPbuffer[circle]} {full color} + {\setupcolors[state=stop]\processMPbuffer[circle]} {weighted gray} + {\setupcolors[state=stop,factor=no]\processMPbuffer[circle]} {linear gray} +\stopcombination +\stopbuffer + +You may wonder what the advantage is of weighted gray conversion. \in {Figure} +[fig:color circles] shows the difference between natural colors, weighted gray +scales and straightforward, non||weighted, gray scales. + +\placefigure + [here][fig:color circles] + {The advantage of weighted gray over linear gray.} + {\getbuffer\setupcolors[state=start,factor=yes]} % just to be sure + +When we convert color to gray, we use the following formula.

The definition of \type {spring} is less complicated than readable. + +\typebuffer[a] + +First we build a path starting in the origin, going left or right depending on +the counter being an odd number. + +\starttyping +pat := (0,0) ; +for i=1 upto n-1: + if odd(i) : + pat := pat -- (-w/2,i) ; + else : + pat := pat -- (+w/2,i) ; + fi ; +endfor ; +pat := pat -- (0,n) ; +\stoptyping + +Once you are accustomed to the way \METAPOST\ interprets (specialists may say +expand) the source code, you will start using \type {if} and \type {for} +statements in assignments. The previous code can be converted in a one liner, +using the pattern: + +\starttyping +pat := for i=1 upto n-1: (x,y)-- endfor (0,n) ; +\stoptyping + +The loop splits out a series of \type {(x,y)--} but the last point is added +outside the loop. Otherwise \type {pat} would have ended with a dangling \type +{--}. Of course we need to replace \type {(x,y)} by something meaningful, so we +get: + +\starttyping +pat := for i=1 upto n-1: (if odd(i):-fi w/2,i)--endfor (0,n) ; +\stoptyping + +We scale this path to the length needed. The expression $b-a$ calculates a +vector, starting at $a$ and ending at $b$. In \METAPOST, the expression \type +{a++b} is identical to $\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$. Thus, the expression \typ {xpart (b-a) +++ ypart (b-a)} calculates the length of the vector $b-a$. Because the unscaled +spring has length $n+2h$, scaling by the expression \typ {((xpart (b-a) ++ ypart +(b-a)) / (n+2h))} gives the spring the same length as the vector $b-a$. + +Because we have drawn our spring in the vertical position, we first rotate it 90 +degrees clockwise to a horizontal position, and then rotate it through an angle +equal to the angle in which the vector $b-a$ is pointing. After that, we shift it +to the first point. The main complications are that we also want to draw +connecting lines at the beginning and end, as well as support springs that +connect arbitrary points. Since no check is done on the parameters, you should be +careful in using this macro. + +When we want to improve the readability, we have to use intermediate variables. +Since the macro is expected to return a path, we must make sure that the content +matches this expectation. + +\typebuffer[b] + +If you use \type {vardef}, then the last statement is the return value. Here, +when \typ {p := spring (z1, z2, .75cm, 2, 10)} is being parsed, the macro is +expanded, the variables are kept invisible for the assignment, and the path at +the end is considered to be the return value. In a \type {def} the whole body of +the macro is \quote {pasted} in the text, while in a \type {vardef} only the last +line is visible. We will demonstrate this with a simple example. + +\starttyping +def one = (n,n) ; n := n+1 ; enddef ; +def two = n := n + 1 ; (n,n) enddef ; +\stoptyping + +Now, when we say: + +\starttyping +pair a, b ; numeric n ; n= 10 ; a := one ; b := two ; +\stoptyping + +we definitely get an error message. This is because, when macro \type {two} is +expanded, \METAPOST\ sees something: + +\starttyping +b := n := n + 1 ; +\stoptyping + +By changing the second definition in + +\starttyping +vardef two = n := n + 1 ; (n,n) enddef ; +\stoptyping + +the increment is expanded out of sight for \type {b :=} and the pair \type +{(n,n)} is returned. + +We can draw a slightly better looking spring by drawing twice with a different +pen. The following commands use the spring macro implemented by the \type +{vardef}. + +\typebuffer[c] + +This time we get: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[a,c] +\stoplinecorrection + +Since the \type {spring} macro returns a path, you can do whatever is possible +with a path, like drawing an arrow: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[a,e] +\stoplinecorrection + +Or even (watch how we use the neutral unit \type {u} to specify the dimensions): + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[a,f] +\stoplinecorrection + +This was keyed in as: + +\typebuffer[e] + +and: + +\typebuffer[f] + +\stopsection + +\startsection[reference=sec:free labels,title={Free labels}] + +\index {labels} + +The \METAPOST\ label macro enables you to position text at certain points.

Due to +the symmetry and the fact that we keep the figure centered around the origin, we +only need to calculate two paths since we can rotate them. + +There are for sure more (efficient) ways to draw such a figure, but this one +demonstrates a few new tricks, like grouping. We use grouping here because we +want to use \type {mm} to indicate the magenta path, and \type {mm} normally +means millimeter. Within a group, you can save variables. These get their old +values when the group is left. + +With \type {for} we process multiple paths after each other. In this case it +hardly saves tokens, but it looks more clever. + +One of the more efficient methods is using the \type {buildcycle} macro.

Imagine that we want to make +us a couple of sheets so that we can write a musical masterpiece. Let's also +forget that \TEX\ can draw lines, which means that somehow we need to use +\METAPOST. + +Drawing a bar is not that complicated as the following code demonstrates. + +\startbuffer +\startusableMPgraphic{bar} + vardef MusicBar (expr width, gap, linewidth, barwidth) = + image + ( interim linecap := butt ; + for i=1 upto 5 : + draw ((0,0)--(width,0)) shifted (0,(i-1)*gap) + withpen pencircle scaled linewidth ; + endfor ; + for i=llcorner currentpicture -- ulcorner currentpicture , + lrcorner currentpicture -- urcorner currentpicture : + draw i withpen pencircle scaled barwidth ; + endfor ; ) + enddef ; +\stopusableMPgraphic +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +We can define the sidebars a bit more efficient using two predefined subpaths: + +\starttyping +for i=leftboundary currentpicture, rightboundary currentpicture : +\stoptyping + +We define a macro \type {MusicBar} that takes four arguments. The first two +determine the dimensions, the last two concern the line widths. Now watch how we +can use this macro: + +\startbuffer +\includeMPgraphic{bar} ; +draw MusicBar (200pt, 6pt, 1pt, 2pt) ; +draw MusicBar (300pt, 6pt, 1pt, 2pt) shifted (0,-30pt) ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +As you can see in this example, the bar is a picture that can be transformed +(shifted in our case). However, a close look at the macro teaches us that it does +a couple of draws too. This is possible because we wrap the whole in an image +using the \type {image} macro. This macro temporary saves the current picture, +and at the end puts the old \type {currentpicture} under the new one. + +We wrap the whole in a \type {vardef}. This means that the image is returned as +if it was a variable. Actually, the last thing in a \type {vardef} should be a +proper return value, in our case a picture. This also means that we may not end +the \type {vardef} with a semi colon. So, when the content of the \type {vardef} +is expanded, we get something + +\starttyping +draw some_picture ... ; +\stoptyping + +Because we are still drawing something, we can add transform directives and set +attributes, like the color. + +The second \type {for} loop demonstrates two nice features. Instead of repeating +the draw operation by copying code, we apply it to a list, in our case a list of +paths. This list contains two simple line paths. Because an \type {image} starts +with a fresh \type {currentpicture}, we can safely use the bounding box data to +determine the height of the line. + +The next step in producing the sheets of paper is to put several bars on a page, +preferable with the width of the current text. This time we will use a reusable +graphic, because each bar is the same. + +\startbuffer +\startreusableMPgraphic{bars} + \includeMPgraphic{bar} ; + draw MusicBar (TextWidth, 6pt, 1pt, 2pt) withcolor .625yellow ; +\stopreusableMPgraphic +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\reuseMPgraphic{bars} +\stoplinecorrection + +Instead of going through the trouble of letting \METAPOST\ calculate the positions +of the bars, we will use \TEX.

For the moment, \METAFUN\ does not provide advanced +features with respect to drawing functions, so this section will be relatively +short. + +When drawing a functions (for educational purposes) we need to draw a couple of +axis or a grid as well as a shape.

The format macros in there use \TEX\ to +typeset the core components of a number, and use the dimensions of those +components to compose combinations of signs, numbers and superscripts. + +In \METAFUN\ we have the module \type {mp-form.mp} which contains most of the +code in \type {format.mp} but in a form that is a bit more suited for fine +tuning. This permits us to use either the composition method, or to fall back on +the \type {textext} method that is part of \METAFUN. That way we can also handle +fonts that have digits with different dimensions. Another \quote {change} +concerns the pattern separator. Instead of a \type {%} we use \type {@}; you can +choose to set another separator, but for embedded definitions \type {%} is +definitely a bad choice because \TEX\ sees it as a comment and ignores everything +following it. + +\startbuffer[grd] +drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625yellow) ; + +draw hlingrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) ; +draw vlingrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) ; + +draw hlingrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) shifted ( 3.5cm,0) ; +draw vloggrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) shifted ( 3.5cm,0) ; + +draw hloggrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) shifted ( 7.0cm,0) ; +draw vlingrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) shifted ( 7.0cm,0) ; + +draw hloggrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) shifted (10.5cm,0) ; +draw vloggrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) shifted (10.5cm,0) ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[grd] + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[grd] +\stoplinecorrection + +\startbuffer[grd] +drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625yellow) ; + +draw hlingrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) slanted .5 ; +draw vlingrid(0, 10, 1, 3cm, 3cm) slanted .5 ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[grd] + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[grd] +\stoplinecorrection + +Using macros like these often involves a bit of trial and error.

Here is one: + +\EnglishRule + +As you can see, such a rule has to adapt itself to the current text width, +normally \type {\hsize} in \TEX, or on request \type {\availablehsize} in +\CONTEXT. We need to set the height to a reasonable size, related to the font +size, and we also need to take care of proper spacing. Of course we want to run +\METAPOST\ as less times as possible, so we need to use unique graphics. Let's +start with the graphic. + +\typebuffer[a] + +As you can see, we pass two arguments to the graphic definition. The first +argument is the name, the second argument is a comma separated list of variables. +This list serves two purposes. First this list is used to create a unique profile +for the graphic. This means that when we change the value of a variable, a new +graphic is generated that reflects the change. A second purpose of the list is to +convert \TEX\ data structures into \METAPOST\ ones, especially dimensions and +colors. The graphic itself is not that spectacular. We use \type {&} because we +don't want smooth connections. + +\typebuffer[b] + +When setting the variables, we used \type {\availablehsize}. We need to use \type +{\noindent}, a rather familiar \TEX\ primitive, that we use here to start a non +indented paragraph, being the graphic. The line correction is needed to get the +spacing around the rule (graphic) right. We pass a blank skip identifier that is +mapped to a convenient medium skip. + +\startbuffer[c] +Why is this called an English line? + +\startnarrower + \EnglishRule + Is it because they cannot draw a straight one?

An +interesting side effect is that when you look long enough to these kind of +graphics, it looks like the lines are no longer horizontal. This table is defined +as follows: + +\typebuffer + +You will notice that we pass a variable to the graphic using a second argument. +We can access this variable with \type {\MPvar}. The graphic is defined as usable +graphic, because we want to generate a unique random one each time. + +\typebuffer[c] + +The core of the macro is the \type {for} loop.

The former is a graphic programming +language, the latter a typographic programming language. However, in this +document we will not focus on real programming, but more on how we can interface +between those two languages. We will do so by using \CONTEXT, a macro package +written in \TEX, in which support for \METAPOST\ is integrated in the core. The +\TEX\ macros are integrated in \CONTEXT, and the \METAPOST\ macros are bundled in +\METAFUN. + +When Donald Knuth wrote his typographical programming language \TEX\ he was in +need for fonts, especially mathematical fonts. So, as a side track, he started +writing \METAFONT, a graphical language. When you read between the lines in the +\METAFONT\ book and the source code, the name John Hobby is mentioned alongside +complicated formulas. It will be no surprise then, that, since he was tightly +involved in the development of \METAFONT, after a few years his \METAPOST\ showed +up. + +While its ancestor \METAFONT\ was originally targeted at designing fonts, +\METAPOST\ is more oriented to drawing graphics as used in scientific +publications. Since \METAFONT\ produced bitmap output, some of its operators make +use of this fact. \METAPOST\ on the other hand produces \POSTSCRIPT\ code, which +means that it has some features not present in \METAFONT\ and vice versa. + +With \METAFUN\ I will demonstrate that \METAPOST\ can also be used, or misused, +for less technical drawing purposes. We will see that \METAPOST\ can fill in some +gaps in \TEX, especially its lack of graphic capabilities. We will demonstrate +that graphics can make a document more attractive, even if it is processed in a +batch processing system like \TEX. Most of all, we will see that embedding +\METAPOST\ definitions in the \TEX\ source enables a smooth communication between +both programs. + +The best starting point for using \METAPOST\ is the manual written by its author +John Hobby. You can find this manual at every main \TEX\ repository. Also, a copy +of the \METAFONT\ book from Donald Knuth is worth every cent, if only because it +will give you the feeling that many years of graphical fun lays ahead. + +In this \METAFUN\ manual we will demonstrate how you can embed graphics in a +\TEX\ document, but we will also introduce most of the features of \METAPOST. For +this reason you will see a lot of \METAPOST\ code. For sure there are better +methods to solve problems, but I have tried to demonstrate different methods and +techniques as much as possible. + +I started using \METAPOST\ long after I started using \TEX, and I never regret +it. Although I like \TEX\ very much, I must admit that sometimes using \METAPOST\ +is even more fun. Therefore, before we start exploring both in depth, I want to +thank their creators, Donald Knuth and John Hobby, for providing me these +fabulous tools. Of course I also need to thank \THANH, for giving the \TEX\ +community \PDFTEX, as well as providing me the hooks I considered necessary for +implementing some of the features presented here. In the meantime Taco Hoekwater +has created the \METAPOST\ library so that it can be an integral component of +\LUATEX. After that happened, the program was extended to deal with more than one +number implementation: in addition to scaled integers we now can switch to floats +and arbitrary precision decimal or binary calculations. I myself prototyped a +simple but efficient \LUA\ script interface. With Luigi Scarso, who is now the +maintainer of \METAPOST, we keep improving the system, so who knows what will +show up next. + +I also want to thank David Arnold and Ton Otten for their fast proofreading, for +providing me useful input, and for testing the examples. Without David's patience +and help, this document would be far from perfect English and less complete. +Without Ton's help, many small typos would have gone unnoticed. + +In the second version of this manual the content was been adapted to \CONTEXT\ +\MKIV\ that uses \LUATEX\ and the built in \METAPOST\ library. In the meantime +some \LUA\ has been brought into the game, not only to help construct graphics, +but also as a communication channel. In the process some extra features have been +added and some interfacing has been upgraded. The third version of this document +deals with that too. It makes no sense to maintain compatibility with \CONTEXT\ +\MKII, but many examples can be used there as well. In the meantime most +\CONTEXT\ users have switched to \MKIV, so this is no real issue. In the fourth +update some new features are presented and the discussion of obsolete ones have +been removed. + +The fifth update describes the \MPIV\ version of \METAFUN\ which brings some more +and improved functionality. Some examples are inspired from questions by users and +examples that Alan Braslau, Luigi Scarso and I made when testing new features and +macros. Some examples can be rewritten in a more efficient way but are kept as +they are. Therefore this manual presents different ways to solve problems. +Hopefully this is not too confusing. Numerous examples can be found in the other +manuals and test suite. + +\blank[big,samepage] + +\startlines +Hans Hagen +Hasselt NL +\currentdate[month,year] +\stoplines + +\stoptitle + +\stopcomponent diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-layout.tex b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-layout.tex new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..2be7e19ff3f --- /dev/null +++ b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-layout.tex @@ -0,0 +1,990 @@ +% language=uk +% +% copyright=pragma-ade readme=readme.pdf licence=cc-by-nc-sa + +\startcomponent metafun-layout + +\environment metafun-environment + +\startchapter[title={Enhancing the layout}] + +\startintro + +One of the most powerful and flexible commands of \CONTEXT\ is \type {\framed}. +We can use the background features of this command to invoke and position +graphics that adapt themselves to the current situation.

Watch the space at the end of the macro. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Graphics and macros}] + +Because \TEX's typographic engine and \METAPOST's graphic engine are separated, +interfacing between them is not as natural as you may expect. In \CONTEXT\ we +have tried to integrate them as much as possible, but using the interface is not +always as convenient as it should be. What method you follow, depends on the +problem at hand. + +The official \METAPOST\ way to embed \TEX\ code into graphics is to use \typ +{btex ... etex}. As soon as \CONTEXT\ writes the graphic data to the intermediate +\METAPOST\ file, it looks for these commands. When it has encountered an \type +{etex}, \CONTEXT\ will make sure that the text that is to be typeset by \TEX\ is +{\em not} expanded. This is what you may expect, because when you would embed +those commands in a stand||alone graphic, they would also not be expanded, if +only because \METAPOST\ does not know \TEX. With expansion we mean that \TEX\ +commands are replaced by their meaning (which can be quite extensive). + +{\em Users of \CONTEXT\ MKIV\ can skip the next paragraph}. + +When \METAPOST\ sees a \type {btex} command, it will consult a so called \type +{mpx} file. This file holds the \METAPOST\ representation of the text typeset by +\TEX. Before \METAPOST\ processes a graphic definition file, it first calls +another program that filters the \type {btex} commands from the source file, and +generates a \TEX\ file from them. This file is then processed by \TEX, and after +that converted to a \type {mpx} file. In \CONTEXT\ we let \TEXEXEC\ take care of +this whole process. + +Because the \typ {btex ... etex} commands are filtered from the raw \METAPOST\ +source code, they cannot be part of macro definitions and loop constructs. When +used that way, only one instance would be found, while in practice multiple +instances may occur. + +This drawback is overcome by \METAFUN's \type {textext} command. This command +still uses \typ {btex ... etex} but writes these commands to a separate job +related file each time it is used. \footnote {It took the author a while to find +out that there is a \METAPOST\ module called \type {tex.mp} that provides a +similar feature, but with the disadvantage that each text results in a call to +\TEX. Each text goes into a temporary file, which is then included and results in +\METAPOST\ triggering \TEX.} After the first \METAPOST\ run, this file is merged +with the original file, and \METAPOST\ is called again. So, at the cost of an +additional run, we can use text typeset by \TEX\ in a more versatile way. Because +\METAPOST\ runs are much faster than \TEX\ runs, the price to pay in terms of run +time is acceptable. Unlike \typ {btex ... etex}, the \TEX\ code in \type +{textext} command is expanded, but as long as \CONTEXT\ is used this is seldom a +problem, because most commands are somewhat protected. + +If we define a graphic with text to be typeset by \TEX, there is a good chance +that this text is not frozen but passes as argument. A \TEX||like solution for +passing arbitrary content to such a graphic is the following: \footnote {The \type +{\unexpanded} prefix makes the command robust for being passed as argument. It is not +to be confused with the primitive. We had this feature already when the primitive +showed up and it was considered to be inconvenient for other macro packages to adapt to +the \CONTEXT\ situation.

The idea is +simple: embed \LUA\ code in a \METAPOST\ file that gets run as soon as it's seen. +In case you wonder why \LUA\ code makes sense, imagine generating graphics using +external data. The capabilities of \LUA\ to deal with that is more flexible and +advanced than in \METAPOST. Of course we could generate a \METAPOST\ definition +of a graphic from data but often it makes more sense to do the reverse. I finally +found time and reason to look into this and in the following sections I will +describe how it's done. + +\stopintro + +\startsection[title=Introduction] + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=The basics] + +The approach is comparable to \LUATEX's \type {\directlua}. That primitive can be +used to execute \LUA\ code and in combination with \type {tex.print} we can pipe +back strings into the \TEX\ input stream. There a complication is that that we +have to be able to operate under different so called catcode regimes: the meaning +of characters can differ per regime. We also have to deal with line endings in +special ways as they relate to paragraphs and such. In \METAPOST\ we don't have +that complication so getting back input into the \METAPOST\ input, we can do so +with simple strings. For that a mechanism similar to \type {scantokens} can be +used. That way we can return anything (including nothing) as long as \METAPOST\ +can interpret it and as long as it fulfils the expectations. + +\starttyping +numeric n ; n := scantokens("123.456") ; +\stoptyping + +A script is run as follows: + +\starttyping +numeric n ; n := runscript("return '123.456'") ; +\stoptyping + +This primitive doesn't have the word \type {lua} in its name so in principle any +wrapper around the library can use it as hook. In the case of \LUATEX\ the script +language is of course \LUA. At the \METAPOST\ end we only expect a string. How +that string is constructed is completely up to the \LUA\ script. In fact, the +user is completely free to implement the runner any way she or he wants, like: + +\starttyping +local function scriptrunner(code) + local f = loadstring(code) + if f then + return tostring(f()) + else + return "" + end +end +\stoptyping + +This is hooked into an instance as follows: + +\starttyping +local m = mplib.new { + ... + run_script = scriptrunner, + ... +} +\stoptyping + +Now, beware, this is not the \CONTEXT\ way. We provide print functions and other +helpers, which we will explain in the next section. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Helpers] + +After I got this feature up and running I played a bit with possible interfaces +at the \CONTEXT\ (read: \METAFUN) end and ended up with a bit more advanced runner +where no return value is used.

The next also works: + +\starttyping +draw textext(lua("mp.quoted(statistics.elapsedtime())")) ... +\stoptyping + +Now we get (in \METAPOST\ speak): + +\starttyping +draw textext(scantokens (ditto & "1.23" & ditto) ... +\stoptyping + +Here \type {ditto} represents the double quotes that mark a string. Of course, +because we pass the strings directly to \type {scantokens}, there are no outer +quotes at all, but this is how it can be simulated. In the end we have: + +\starttyping +draw textext("1.23") ... +\stoptyping + +What you use, \type {mp.print} or \type {mp.quoted} depends on what the expected +code is: an assignment to a numeric can best be a number or an expression +resulting in a number. + +This graphic becomes: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +The runtime on my current machine is some 0.25 seconds without and 0.12 seconds +with caching. But to be honest, speed is not really a concern here as the amount +of complex \METAPOST\ graphics can be neglected compared to extensive node list +manipulation. With \LUAJITTEX\ generating the graphic takes 15\% less time. + +\startbuffer +numeric n ; n := lua("mp.print(1) mp.print('+') mp.print(2)") ; +draw textext(n) xsized 1cm withcolor darkred ; +\stopbuffer + +The three print command accumulate their arguments: + +\typebuffer + +As expected we get: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +\startbuffer +numeric n ; n := lua("mp.print(1,'+',2)") ; +draw textext(n) xsized 1cm withcolor darkred ; +\stopbuffer + +Equally valid is: + +\typebuffer + +This gives the same result: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +Of course all kind of action can happen between the prints. It is also legal to +have nothing returned as could be seen in the 10.000 dot example: there the timer +related code returns nothing so effectively we have \type {scantokens("")}. Another +helper is \type {mp.quoted}, as in: + +\startbuffer +draw + textext(lua("mp.quoted('@0.3f'," & decimal n & ")")) + withcolor darkred ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +This typesets \processMPbuffer. Watch the \type {@}.

Of course we remain compatible, it's +just that more (convenient) interfaces were added. + +\stopintro + +\startsection[title={The status quo}] + +After \TEX\ has read a paragraph of text, it will try to break this paragraph +into lines. When this is done, the result is flushed and after that \TEX\ will +check if a page should be split off. As a result, we can hardly predict how a +document will come out. Therefore, when we want graphics to adapt themselves to +this text, maybe even to text broken across lines, we have to deal with this +asynchronous feature of \TEX\ in a rather advanced way. Before we present a way +of dealing with this complexity, we will elaborate on the nature of embedded +graphics in \TEX. + +When \TEX\ entered the world of typesetting, desktop printers were not that +common, let alone color desktop printers. But times have changed and nowadays we +want color and graphics and if possible we want them integrated in the text. When +\METAPOST\ showed up it depended on the \DVI\ processor to recognize the +\POSTSCRIPT\ code as being produced by \METAPOST\ and therefore also include the +fonts that were used. But color was still limited to \RGB. When \PDFTEX\ evolved +I wrote an interpreter (in \TEX) that could translate the output to \PDF. This +also opened up the possibility to add features to \METAPOST, like \CMYK\ colors, +shading, transparencies etc. But basically the \TEX\ and \METAPOST\ processes +were rather isolated. We could of course pass information to \METAPOST\ and pick +up information from \METAPOST\ in a second pass. That has changed in \LUATEX. + +In order to really integrate \METAPOST\ graphics into the flow you need to know +where you are on the page and how large graphics should be, especially when you +want them to depend on the layout. A first solution to this was to embed specials +in the \DVI\ that could later be used to extract positions. In retrospect this +was a relative trivial extension, something that could have been around much +earlier but somehow didn't happen.

This is also why the following examples are \MKIV\ +specific, although \MKII\ can do the same, but with a bit different set of +helpers. We can for instance query properties of \hpos {A-0} {positions} without +using \TEX\ macros but can use \METAPOST\ macros instead. Let's give an example. +The background and frame behind the word \type {position} in this paragraph is +not done with \type {\framed} but using a different mechanism: + +\starttyping +to get \hpos {A-0} {positions} sorted +\stoptyping + +The \type {\hpos} refers to a position and we have bound that position to a graphic: + +\starttyping +\setMPpositiongraphic{A-0}{mpos:box}{self=A-0} +\stoptyping + +The graphic itself is defined with: + +\typebuffer[box:1] + +A variant that has no macro calls and does all via the \LUA\ intercaface in \MKIV\ is +the following: + +\typebuffer[box:1:also] + +A \type {\hpos} position has several properties: the coordinates of the origin: +\type {x} and \type {y}, the dimensions of the boxed content, \type {w}, \type +{h} and \type {d}, and the page number \type {p}. An additional helper \type +{positioninregion} will move the drawing to the right spot in the region. +Examples or regions are the page, text area or some overlay. The \type +{positionatanchor} variant relocates to the anchor of the given tag. The first +helper is actually a shortcut for: + +\starttyping +currentpicture := currentpicture shifted - positionxy(positionanchor) ; +\stoptyping + +In our case we use a dedicated layer \type {backgraphics} that we have hooked into +the page backgrounds: + +\starttyping +\setupbackgrounds + [page] + [background={backgraphics,foreground,foregraphics}] + +\defineoverlay [backgraphics] [\positionoverlay{backgraphics}] +\defineoverlay [foregraphics] [\positionoverlay{foregraphics}] +\stoptyping + +The relation between position graphics and that layer are defined as follows +(we will come back to this in a moment): + +\typebuffer[box:2] + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={A more detailed view}] + +As we know, a decent portion of \TEX's attention is focused on breaking +paragraphs into lines and determining the optimal point to split off the page. +Trying to locate the optimal points to break lines is a dynamic process. The +space between words is flexible and we don't know in advance when a \hpos {A-1} +{word} or piece of a word |<|maybe it's best to talk of typographic \hpos {A-2} +{globs} instead|>| will end up on the page. It might even cross the page +boundary. + +In the previous section we saw \hpos {A-3} {word} and \hpos {A-4} {globs} +encircled and connected by an arrow. This graphic can be drawn only when the +position and dimensions are known. Unfortunately, this information is only +available after the paragraph is typeset and the best breakpoints are chosen. +\bpos {A-5} Because the text must be laid on top of the graphic, the graphic must +precede the first word in the typeset stream or it must be positioned on a +separate layer. In the latter case it can be calculated directly after the +paragraph is typeset, but in the former case a second pass is needed. \epos {A-5} +Because such graphics are not bound to one paragraph, the multi||pass option +suits better because it gives us more control: the more we know about he final +state, the better we can act upon it. Think of graphics on the first page that +depend on the content of the last page \bpos {A-6} or, as in this paragraph, +backgrounds that depend on the typeset text. \epos {A-6} + +The arrows that connect the shapes are drawn with the following code that now +looks familiar: + +\typebuffer[arrow:1] + +and + +\typebuffer[arrow:2] + +However, here we anchor at one of the positions because we don't flush in a layer +but at the position itself. Indeed it looks complex. + +It may be clear now that we need some positional information in order to provide +features like the ones shown here. The fact that we will act upon in a second +pass simplifies the task, although it forces us to store the positional +information between runs in some place. This may look uncomfortable at first +sight, but it also enables us to store some additional information. Now why is +that needed? + +A position has no dimensions, it's just a place somewhere on the page. In order +to do tricks like those shown here, we also need to know the height and depth of +lines at a specific point as well as the width of the box(es) we're dealing with. +In the encircled examples, the dimensions of the box following the positional +node are stored along with the position. + +In order to process the graphics, we tag each point with a name, so that we can +attach actions to those points. In fact they become trigger points. As we will +demonstrate, we also need to store the current page number. This brings the data +stored with a point to: + +\starttyping +<identifier> <pagenumber> <x> <y> <width> <height> <depth> +\stoptyping + +Actually we store more information, for example the region in which the positions +sit. Depending on the use we can also get access to paragraph and line properties +but discussing these is beyond this manual. These are for instance used in the +text backgrounds. + +The page number is needed in order to let the graphics engine determine boundary +conditions. Backgrounds like those shown here can span multiple pages. In order +to calculate the right backgrounds, some additional information must be +available, like the top and bottom of the current text area. In fact, these are +just normal points that can be saved while processing the split off page. So, +apart from positioning anchors in the text we need anchors on crucial points of +the layout. This means that this kind of support cannot be fully integrated into +the \TEX\ kernel, unless we also add extensive support for layout definitions, +and that is probably not what we want. + +As soon as something like $(x,y)$ shows up, a logical question is where $(0,0)$ +is located. Although this is a valid question, the answer is less important than +you may expect. Even if we know that ($0,0)$ is \quote {officially} located in +the bottom left corner of the page, the simple fact that in \CONTEXT\ we are +dealing with a mixed page concept, like paper size and print paper size, or left +and right pages, forces us to think in relative positions instead of absolute +ones. Therefore, graphics, even those that involve multiple positions, are +anchored to a position on the layer on which they are located. + +Users who simply want to use these features may wonder why we go into so much +detail. The main reason is that in the end many users will want to go beyond the +simple cases, and when dealing with these issues, you must be aware not only of +height, depth and width, but also of the crossing of a page boundary, and the +height and depth of lines. In some cases your graphics may have to respond to +layout characteristics, like differences between odd and even pages. Given that +unique identifiers are used for anchor points, in \CONTEXT\ you can have access +to all the information needed. Here are some of the helpers: + +\starttabulate[|T||] +\NC positionpath (tag) \NC the path determined by width, height and depth \NC \NR +\NC positionxy (tag) \NC the origin \NC \NR +\NC positionwhd (tag) \NC the dimensions (in a triplet) \NC \NR +\NC positionpage (tag) \NC the page number fo the position \NC \NR +\NC positionregion(tag) \NC the region that the position sits in \NC \NR +\NC positionbox (tag) \NC the positioned box (path shifted over coordinates) \NC \NR +\NC positionanchor \NC the current anchor of the region \NC \NR +\stoptabulate + +The \type {positionwhd} macro returns a triplet that you can query, like: + +\starttyping +triplet whd ; whd := positionwhd("\MPvar{from}"); +numeric wd; wd := wdpart whd ; +\stoptyping + +We will add more such convenient helpers in the future. In the \CONTEXT\ +distribution you can find examples (in manuals or librarties) that demonstrate +other tricks with positioning. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Anchors and layers}] + +\index{anchoring} +\index{layers} + +\startbuffer[g-circle] +\startMPpositiongraphic{mypos:circle} + path p ; p := positionbox(texstr("self")) ; + p := fullcircle xsized (bbwidth(p)+4pt) shifted center p ; + pickup pencircle scaled 1pt ; + fill p withcolor .800white ; + draw p withcolor .625yellow ; + positioninregion ; +\stopMPpositiongraphic +\stopbuffer + +\startbuffer[g-line] +\startMPpositiongraphic{mypos:line} + path pa, pb, pab ; numeric na, nb ; string ta, tb ; + ta := texstr("from") ; + tb := texstr("to") ; + na := positionpage(ta) ; + nb := positionpage(tb) ; + pa := positionbox(ta) ; + pb := positionbox(tb) ; + pa := fullcircle xsized (bbwidth(pa)+4pt) shifted center pa ; + pb := fullcircle xsized (bbwidth(pb)+4pt) shifted center pb ; + if na = nb : + pab := center pa -- center pb ; + pab := pab cutbefore (pab intersectionpoint pa) ; + pab := pab cutafter (pab intersectionpoint pb) ; + pickup pencircle scaled 1pt ; + draw pab withcolor .625yellow ; + positioninregion ; + fi ; +\stopMPpositiongraphic +\stopbuffer + +\getbuffer[g-circle,g-line] + +\startbuffer[a] +\setMPpositiongraphic{X-1}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-2} +\setMPpositiongraphic{X-2}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-3} +\stopbuffer + +\startbuffer[b] +In a previous section we saw that some \hpos {X-1} {words} were +\hpos {X-2} {circled} and connected by an \hpos {X-3} {arrow}. +As with most things in \CONTEXT, marking these words is separated +from declaring what to do with those words. This paragraph is keyed +in as: +\stopbuffer + +\getbuffer[a,b] + +\typebuffer[b] + +We see three position anchors, each marked by an identifier: \type {X-1}, \type +{X-2} and \type {X-3}. Each of these anchors can be associated with a (series) of +graphic operations. Here we defined: + +\typebuffer[a] + +These examples clearly demonstrate that we cannot control to what extent graphics +will cover text and vice versa. A solution to this problem is using position +overlays. We can define such an overlay as follows: + +\startbuffer +\startpositionoverlay{backgraphics} + \setMPpositiongraphic{G-1}{mypos:circle} + \setMPpositiongraphic{G-2}{mypos:circle} + \setMPpositiongraphic{G-3}{mypos:circle} + \setMPpositiongraphic{G-4}{mypos:circle} +\stoppositionoverlay + +\startpositionoverlay{foregraphics} + \setMPpositiongraphic{G-1}{mypos:line}{to=G-2} + \setMPpositiongraphic{G-2}{mypos:line}{to=G-3} + \setMPpositiongraphic{G-3}{mypos:line}{to=G-4} +\stoppositionoverlay +\stopbuffer + +\getbuffer \typebuffer + +\startbuffer +First we have defined an \hpos {G-1} {\strut overlay}. This +overlay can be attached to some overlay layer, like, in our +case, the \hpos {G-2} {\strut page}. We define four small \hpos +{G-3} {\strut circles}. These are drawn as soon as the page +overlay is typeset. Because they are located in the +background, they don't cover the \hpos {G-4} {\strut text}, while +the lines do. The previous paragraph was typeset by saying: +\stopbuffer + +\getbuffer \typebuffer + +As said, the circles are on the background layer, but the lines are not! They are +positioned on top of the text. This is a direct result of the definition of the +page background: + +\starttyping +\defineoverlay [foregraphics] [\positionoverlay{foregraphics}] +\defineoverlay [backgraphics] [\positionoverlay{backgraphics}] + +\setupbackgrounds + [page] + [background={backgraphics,foreground,foregraphics}] +\stoptyping + +\doifmode{screen}{\writestatus{CHECK}{POSITION GRAPHICS}} + +In this definition, the predefined overlay \type {foreground} inserts the page +data itself, so the foreground graphics end up on top. This example also +demonstrates that you should be well aware of the way \CONTEXT\ builds a page. +There are six main layers, in some cases with sublayers. The body text goes into +the main text layer, which, unless forced otherwise, lays on top. + +\startitemize[packed,n,columns,three] +\item paper background +\item area backgrounds +\item page backgrounds +\item text areas +\item logo areas +\item main text +\stopitemize + +The paper background is used for special (sometimes internal) purposes. There are +three page backgrounds: left, right and both. The text areas, logo areas and +backgrounds form a $5 \times 5$ matrix with columns containing the leftedge, +leftmargin, text, rightmargin, and rightedge. The rows of the matrix contain the +top, header, text, footer, and bottom. The main text is what you are reading now. + +Since the page background is applied last, the previous layers can be considered +to be the foreground to the page background layer. And, indeed, it is available +as an overlay under the name \type {foreground}, as we already saw in the +example. Foregrounds are available in most cases, but (for the moment) not when +we are dealing with the text area. Since anchoring the graphics is implemented +rather independent of the position of the graphics themselves, this is no real +problem, we can put them all on the page layer, if needed in separate overlays. + +How is such a graphic defined? In fact these graphics are a special case of the +already present mechanism of including \METAPOST\ graphics. The circles are +defined as follows: + +\typebuffer[g-circle] + +Drawing the lines is handled in a similar fashion. + +\typebuffer[g-line] + +The command \tex {startMPpositiongraphic} defines a graphic, in this example we +have called it \type {mypos:circle}. Here we show the definition out of order but +normally you need to define it before you refer to it. + +The \METAPOST\ macro \type {positionbox} returns a box that is constructed from +the coordinates and dimensions. After this call, the corners are available via +\type {llcorner}, \type {lrcorner}, \type {urcorner} and \type {ulcorner}. The +center is accessible by \type {center}. When we are finished drawing the graphic, +we can anchor the result with \type {positioninregion}. This macro automatically +handles positioning on specific layers. The helper macros are not loaded by +default, you do that with: + +\typebuffer[g-include] + +The position macro \type {\MPpos} returns the current characteristics of a +position.

These values are fed directly into +\METAPOST\ graphics but the individual components can be asked for by \type +{\MPp}, \type {\MPx}, \type {\MPy}, \type {\MPw}, \type {\MPh} and \type {\MPd}. + +In the previous definition of the graphic, we saw another macro, \type {\MPvar}. +When we invoke a graphic or attach a graphic to a layer, we can pass variables. +We can also set specific variables in other ways, as we will see later. + +\starttyping +\setMPpositiongraphic{G-1}{mypos:circle} +\setMPpositiongraphic{G-1}{mypos:line}{to=G-2} +\stoptyping + +In the second definition, we let the variable \type {to} point to another +position. When needed, we can ask for the value of \type {to} by \type +{\MPvar{to}}. For reasons of convenience, the current position is assigned +automatically to \type {from} and \type {self}. This means that in the line we +saw in the graphic: + +\starttyping +path p ; p := positionbox(texstr("self")) ; +\stoptyping + +\type {texstr("self")} will return the current position, which, fed to \type +{positionbox} will return a box with the right dimensions.

The small dark gray crosshair is +the origin and the black rectangle the bounding box. In some drawings, in light +gray we show the points that make up the path. + +This list describes traditional \METAPOST\ and the stable part of \METAFUN. As +\METAPOST\ evolves, new primitives are added but they are not always that +relevant to us. If you browse the \METAFUN\ sources you will for sure notice more +functionality than summarized here. Most of that is meant for usage in \CONTEXT\ +and not exposed to the user. Other macros are still somewhat experimental but +might become more official at some point. The same is true for \METAFUN\ +commands: not all make sense for daily usage and some are just there as helper +for additional modules. + +\stopintro + +\startsection[title={Paths}] + +\index{paths} +

So you might expect +that text in graphics becomes superfluous. Out of experience we can tell you that +this is not the case. In this chapter we explore the ways to add text to +\METAPOST\ graphics, and let you choose whether or not to have it typeset by +\TEX. + +\stopintro + +\startsection[title={The process}] + +\index{text} + +You can let \METAPOST\ process text that is typeset by \TEX. Such text is first +embedded in the \METAPOST\ file in the following way: + +\starttyping +btex Some text to be typeset by \TEX etex +\stoptyping + +This returns a picture, but only after \METAPOST\ has made sure that \TEX\ has +converted it into something useful. This process of conversion is slightly system +dependent and even a bit obscure. Traditional \METAPOST\ calls a program that +filters the \type {btex}|\unknown|\type {etex} commands, next it calls \TEX\ by +passing the output routine, in order to make sure that each piece of text ends up +on its own page, and afterwards it again calls a program that converts the \DVI\ +pages into \METAPOST\ pictures. In \LUATEX's \MPLIB\ a different route is +followed. + +In \CONTEXT\ \MKII, when using \WEBC, you can generate the graphics at run||time. +This takes more time than processing the graphics afterwards, but has the +advantage that \TEX\ knows immediately what graphic it is dealing with. When +enabled, \CONTEXT\ will call either \METAPOST, or, when the graphic contains +\type {btex}||\type {etex} commands, call \TEXEXEC, which in turn makes sure that +the right auxiliary programs are executed. + +In \CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ you won't notice this at all because everything is tightly +integrated with \LUATEX's \MPLIB. This has an enormous speed gain: when this +manual had about 425 pages, on my laptop with mobile 3840QM processor, one run of +this document takes 18 seconds (14.5 with \LUAJITTEX) and that includes loadint a +bunch of (outline) fonts and processing some 2200 \METAPOST\ images. While +writing the first version of this manual runtime was upto 50 times slower for +half the number of pages so compared to \MKII\ we have gained a lot. + +\startFLOWchart[metatex] + \startFLOWcell + \name {script 1} + \location {1,1} + \shape {action} + \text {\type{context}} + \connection [rl] {context 1} + \stopFLOWcell + \startFLOWcell + \name {context 1} + \location {2,1} + \shape {action} + \text {\CONTEXT} + \connection [bt] {metapost 1} + \connection [rl] {script 2} + \stopFLOWcell + \startFLOWcell + \name {metapost 1} + \location {2,2} + \shape {action} + \text {\METAPOST} + \stopFLOWcell + \startFLOWcell + \name {script 2} + \location {3,1} + \shape {action} + \text {\type{context}} + \connection [rl] {context 2} + \connection [bt] {metapost 2} + \stopFLOWcell + \startFLOWcell + \name {context 2} + \location {4,1} + \shape {action} + \text {\CONTEXT} + \stopFLOWcell + \startFLOWcell + \name {metapost 2} + \location {3,2} + \shape {action} + \text {\METAPOST} + \stopFLOWcell +\stopFLOWchart + +\startplacefigure[title={How \TEX\ and \METAPOST\ work together.}] + \FLOWchart[metatex] +\stopplacefigure + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Environments}] + +\index{environments} + +In case you want to pass code that is shared by all \type {btex}||\type {etex} +pictures, \METAPOST\ provides: + +\starttyping +verbatimtex \DefineSomeCommands etex ; +\stoptyping + +However, in \CONTEXT\ one has a better mechanism available. In \CONTEXT\ \MKII\ +the advised method is passing environments. The best way to pass them is the +following. As an example we switch to the 15 basic \POSTSCRIPT\ fonts. + +\startbuffer[pos] +\startMPenvironment + \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi] % mkii has encodings + \setupbodyfont[palatino] +\stopMPenvironment +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[pos] + +This means that in code like the following, a Palatino font will be used. + +\starttyping +\startMPcode +draw btex Meta is a female lion! etex + xysized (\the\textwidth,\the\textheight) ; +\stopMPcode +\stoptyping + +However, in \CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ this method is no longer recomended as all +processing happens in the same run anyway. + +% beware: extensive scaling can make acrobat crash and okular drop the ! + +\startbuffer[lioncode] +\startMPcode +numeric w, h ; w := \the\textwidth ; h := w/2 ; + +picture p ; p := btex \colored[r=.375,g=.375]{Meta is a female lion!} etex + xysized (w,h) ; +picture q ; q := btex \colored[r=.625] {Meta is a female lion!} etex + xysized (w,h) ; + +path b ; b := boundingbox p ; draw p ; + +for i=(.28w,.90h),(.85w,.90h),(w,.05h) : + picture r ; r := q ; + path s ; s := (fullsquare xscaled .05w yscaled .4h) shifted i ; + clip r to s ; draw r ; % draw s ; +endfor ; + +setbounds currentpicture to b ; +\stopMPcode +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[lioncode] + +\in {Figure} [lionclip] shows the previous sentence in a slightly different look. +You may consider coloring the dots to be an exercise in clipping. + +\getbuffer[pos] + +\placefigure + [here][lionclip] + {An example of clipping.} + {\getbuffer[lioncode]} + +\resetMPenvironment + +An environment can be reset with \typ {\resetMPenvironment} or by passing \type +{reset} to \typ {\startMPenvironment}. + +\starttyping +\startMPenvironment[reset] + \usetypescript[postscript][texnansi] % mkii + \setupbodyfont[postscript] +\stopMPenvironment +\stoptyping + +So, to summarize: if you're using \CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ you might as well forgot what +you just read. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Labels}] + +\index{labels} + +In \METAPOST\ you can use the \type {label} macro to position text at certain +points. + +\starttyping +label("x", origin) ; +\stoptyping + +The font and scale are determined by two variables, \type {defaultfont} and \type +{defaultscale}, the former expecting the name of a font in the form of a string, +the latter expecting a numeric to be used in the scaling of the font. Should you +choose not to set these yourself, they default to \type {"Mono"} and \type +{1.0}, respectively. However, you can change the defaults as follows: + +\starttyping +defaultfont := "texgyrepagella-regular*default" ; +defaultscale := 1.2 ; +\stoptyping + +These settings selects Pagella at about 12pt. You can also set these variables +to \CONTEXT\ related values. For \CONTEXT\ graphics they are set to: + +\starttyping +defaultfont := "\truefontname{Regular}*default" ; +defaultscale := \the\bodyfontsize/10 ; +\stoptyping + +This means that they will adapt themselves to the current body font (in this +document we get \truefontname{Regular}) and the current size of the bodyfont +(here \the\bodyfontsize/10). + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={\TeX\ text}] + +\index{text} + +In the next example we will use a special mechanism for building graphics step by +step. The advantage of this method is that we can do intermediate calculations in +\TEX. Our objective is to write a macro that draws text along a circular path. +While doing so we want to achieve the following: + +\startitemize[packed] +\item the text should be properly kerned, i.e.\ the + spacing between characters should be optimal, +\item the position on the circle should vary, and +\item the radius of the circle should vary. +\stopitemize + +This implementation is not the most straightforward one, but by doing it step by +step, at least we see what is involved. Later, we will see a better method. If +you run these examples yourself, you must make sure that the \TEX\ environment of +your document matches the one used by \METAPOST. + +We let the bodyfont match the font used in this document, and define \type +{RotFont} to be the regular typeface, the one you are reading right now, but +bold. + +\startbuffer +\definefont[RotFont][RegularBold*default] +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +Since \METAPOST\ is unaware of kerning, we have to use \TEX\ to keep track of the +positions. We will split the text into tokens (often characters) and store the +result in an array of pictures (\type {pic}). We will also store the accumulated +width in an array (\type {len}). The number of characters is stored in~\type {n}. +In a few paragraphs we will see why the other arrays are needed. + +While defining the graphic, we need \TEX\ to do some calculations. Therefore, we +will use \type {\startMPdrawing} to stepwise construct the definition. The basic +pattern we will follow is: + +\starttyping +\resetMPdrawing +\startMPdrawing + metapost code +\stopMPdrawing +tex code +\startMPdrawing + metapost code +\stopMPdrawing +\MPdrawingdonetrue +\getMPdrawing +\stoptyping + +In the process, we will use a few variables. We will store the individual +characters of the text in the variable \type {pic}, its width in \type {wid} and +the length of the string so far in \type {len}. Later we will use the \type {pos} +array to store the position where a character ends up.

The {\it hz} optimization involves an +% additional pass over the lines and|/|or paragraph, in order to determine how +% inconsistency in gaps can be reduced by substituting an \quote {\scale [sx=1.01] +% {a}} by an \quote {\scale [sx=5] {a}} or \quote {\scale [sx=.5] {a}}. In \in +% {figure} [fig:hz] you can find the visualization in action. By means of colors we +% indicate in what way glyphs are substituted by slightly larger or smaller values. +% More details on how the {\it hz} optimization works can be found in \THANH's +% thesis. +% +% \placefigure +% [page][fig:hz] +% {When we feed \TEX\ code into \METAPOST\ and back, we +% can visualize {\it hz}||optimization in a colorful way.} +% {\doifmodeelse{screen} +% {\externalfigure[mfun-hzs.pdf][height=.8\textheight]} +% {\externalfigure[mfun-hzp.pdf][height=.8\textheight]}} +% +% In order to avoid a complicated discussion about how to set up \PDFTEX\ to use +% {\it hz} |<|this can best be left over to the macro package that you use|>| we +% will illustrate the method behind this kind of visualizations in a more simple +% case. +% +% When you include a \METAPOST\ graphic in \PDFTEX, the output produced by +% \METAPOST\ is interpreted by a bunch of macros and converted into raw \PDF\ code. +% In the process special extensions, like shading, transparency, graphic inclusion, +% are taken care of. When the converter encounters a font inclusion directive, +% i.e.\ the \POSTSCRIPT\ \type {fshow} operator, it uses the \TEX\ font handler to +% take care of the font. A benefit of this approach is that \TEX\ and \METAPOST\ +% share the same font resources and therefore the inclusion is done in the way +% expected. +% +% The low level macro that takes care of the font inclusion provides a couple of so +% called hooks, that permit us to do additional manipulations with the character +% sequences that are encountered. +% +% \startbuffer[demo] +% draw +% btex \definedfont[cmr10]% +% Combine the power of \TeX\ and \MetaPost ! +% etex scaled 2 ; +% \stopbuffer +% +% \typebuffer[demo] +% +% When processed, this gives the graphic: +% +% \startlinecorrection[blank] +% \processMPbuffer[demo] +% \stoplinecorrection +% +% The result is not spectacular, and there is no indication that \METAPOST\ has +% been in action.

This is a result from \TEX\ explicitely +% kerning characters. +% +% A second hook is provided in the macro that takes care of the font switch. This +% command is defined as follows: +% +% \starttyping +% \def\setMPfshowfont#1#2% +% {\font\temp=#1\space at #2\relax\temp} +% \stoptyping +% +% The first argument is the raw font name, and the second argument specifies the +% desired size. If we want to see what fonts are involved, we can redefine the +% hooks as follows. +% +% \starttyping +% \def\setMPfshowfont#1#2% +% {\message{[using #1 at #2 in mp graphic]}% +% \font\temp=#1\space at #2\relax\temp} +% \stoptyping +% +% It happens that two fonts are used: \type {cmr10} and \type {logo10}. Once we +% know this, we can apply some magic: we set the color to the fontname and define a +% couple of colors that match the name. +% +% \startbuffer +% \definecolor [cmr10] [darkred] +% \definecolor [logo10] [darkyellow] +% +% \def\setMPfshowfont#1#2% +% {\color[#1]\font\temp=#1\space at #2\relax\temp} +% \stopbuffer +% +% \typebuffer +% +% In the case of the \type {\it hz} examples we had to define a couple of more +% colors, but the principle remains. +% +% \startlinecorrection[blank] +% \getbuffer \processMPbuffer[demo] +% \stoplinecorrection +% +% We don't expect the user to use tricks like this on a daily basis, but it +% demonstrates that with a bit of knowlegde of the internals of \CONTEXT, you can +% produce nice examples of typographic programming. +% +% \stopsection + +\stopchapter + +\stopcomponent diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-titlepage-paper.tex b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-titlepage-paper.tex new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..558e3b798a2 --- /dev/null +++ b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-titlepage-paper.tex @@ -0,0 +1,23 @@ +% language=uk +% +% copyright=pragma-ade readme=readme.pdf licence=cc-by-nc-sa + +\doifmode{book}{\endinput} + +\startcomponent mfun-titlepage-paper + +\environment metafun-environment + +\setupbackgrounds + [rightpage] + [background=title page] + +\startstandardmakeup + % title page +\stopstandardmakeup + +\setupbackgrounds + [rightpage] + [background=] + +\stopcomponent diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-titlepage-screen.tex b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-titlepage-screen.tex new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..6350bdbda7f --- /dev/null +++ b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-titlepage-screen.tex @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +% language=uk +% +% copyright=pragma-ade readme=readme.pdf licence=cc-by-nc-sa + +\startcomponent metafun-titlepage-screen + +\environment metafun-environment + +\startstandardmakeup[topstate=empty] + + \definefont[Big] [RegularBold*default at 60pt] + \definefont[Medium][RegularBold*default at 48pt] + \definefont[Small] [RegularBold*default at 32pt] + \definefont[Tiny] [RegularBold*default at 24pt] + +% \showstruts + + \startcolor[darkyellow] + + \Big METAFUN \par + \Tiny \setstrut \strut context mkiv \par + \vfill + \Tiny \setstrut \hfill \strut \currentdate \par + \Small \setstrut \hfill \strut Hans Hagen \par + + \stopcolor + +\stopstandardmakeup + +\stopcomponent diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-welcome.tex b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-welcome.tex new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..425d1579611 --- /dev/null +++ b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/metafun-welcome.tex @@ -0,0 +1,3502 @@ +% language=uk +% +% copyright=pragma-ade readme=readme.pdf licence=cc-by-nc-sa + +\startcomponent metafun-welcome + +\environment metafun-environment + +\startchapter[reference=sec:welcome,title={Welcome to MetaPost}] + +\startintro + +In this chapter, we will introduce the most important \METAPOST\ concepts as well +as demonstrate some drawing primitives and operators.

The following statements assigns the point we +showed previously to a pair variable. + +\starttyping +pair somepoint ; somepoint := (1cm,1.5cm) ; +\stoptyping + +A pair can be used to identify a point in the two dimensional coordinate space, +but it can also be used to denote a vector (being a direction or displacement). +For instance, \type {(0,1)} means \quote {go up}.

Since \METAPOST\ provides one, let us see what happens if we apply +this command. + +\startbuffer[shape] +fill (0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(0,h)--cycle ; +unfill (ww,0)--(w,hh)--(ww,hh)--cycle ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[shape] + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[common,points,background,shape] +\stoplinecorrection + +This does not always give the desired effect, because \METAPOST's \type {unfill} +is not really an unfill, but a \type {fill} with color \type {background}. Since +this color is white by default, we get what we just showed. So, if we set \type +{background} to \type {black}, using \typ {background := black}, we get: + +\startbuffer[back] +background := black ; +\stopbuffer + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[back,common,points,background,shape] +\stoplinecorrection + +Of course, you can set the variable \type {background} to a different color, but +this does not hide the fact that \METAPOST\ lacks a real unfill operation. + +\startbuffer[shape] +fill (0,0)--(0,h)--(w,h)--(w,0)--(ww,0)--(w,hh)--(ww,hh)-- + (ww,0)--cycle ; +\stopbuffer + +\startbuffer[path] +autoarrows := true ; +path p ; p := (0,0)--(0,h)--(w,h)--(w,0)--(ww,0)--(w,hh)--(ww,hh)-- + (ww,0)--cycle ; +draw p withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor .625red; +numeric l ; l := length(p)-1 ; +for i=0 upto l : + drawarrow subpath(i,i+1) of p + withpen pencircle scaled 1mm + withcolor (.5+.5(i/l))*red ; +endfor ; +\stopbuffer + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[common,points,background,shape] +\stoplinecorrection + +Since we don't consider this \type {unfill} a suitable operator, you may wonder +how we achieved the above result. + +\typebuffer[shape] + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[common,points,background,shape,path] +\stoplinecorrection + +This feature depends on the \POSTSCRIPT\ way of filling closed paths, which comes +down to filling either the left or the right hand side of a curve. The following +alternative works too. + +\startbuffer[shape] +fill (0,0)--(0,h)--(w,h)--(w,hh)--(ww,hh)--(ww,0)--(w,hh)-- + (w,0)--cycle ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[shape] + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[common,points,background,shape] +\stoplinecorrection + +The next alternative will fail. This has to do with the change in direction at +point \type {(0,0)} halfway through the path. Sometimes changing direction can +give curious but desirable effects, but here it brings no good. + +\startbuffer[shape] +fill (0,0)--(0,h)--(w,h)--(w,0)--(0,0)--(ww,0)--(ww,hh)-- + (w,hh)--(ww,0)--cycle ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[shape] + +This path fails because of the way \POSTSCRIPT\ implements its fill operator. +More details on how \POSTSCRIPT\ defines fills can be found in the reference +manuals. + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[common,points,background,shape] +\stoplinecorrection + +Some of the operations we have seen are hard coded into \METAPOST\ and are called +primitives. Others are defined as macros, that is, a sequence of \METAPOST\ +commands. Since they are used often, you may expect \type {draw} and \type {fill} +to be primitives, but they are not. They are macros defined in terms of +primitives. + +Given a path \type {pat}, you can consider a \type {draw} to be defined in terms +of: + +\starttyping +addto currentpicture doublepath pat +\stoptyping + +The \type {fill} command on the other hand is defined as: + +\starttyping +addto currentpicture contour pat +\stoptyping + +Both macros are actually a bit more complicated but this is mainly due to the +fact that they also have to deal with attributes like the pen and color they draw +with. + +You can use \type {doublepath} and \type {contour} directly, but we will use +\type {draw} and \type {fill} whenever possible. + +Given a picture \type {pic}, the following code is valid: + +\starttyping +addto currentpicture also pic +\stoptyping + +You can add pictures to existing picture variables, where \type {currentpicture} +is the picture that is flushed to the output file. Watch the subtle difference +between adding a \type {doublepath}, \type {contour} or \type {picture}. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Variables}] + +\index{variables} + +At this point you may have noted that \METAPOST\ is a programming language. +Contrary to some of today's languages, \METAPOST\ is a simple and clean language. +Actually, it is a macro language. Although \METAPOST\ and \TEX\ are a couple, the +languages differ in many aspects. If you are using both, you will sometimes wish +that features present in one would be available in the other. When using both +languages, in the end you will understand why the conceptual differences make +sense. + +Being written in \PASCAL, it will be no surprise that \METAPOST\ has some +\PASCAL||like features, although some may also recognize features from \ALGOL68\ +in it. + +First there is the concept of variables and assignments. There are several data +types, some of which we already have seen. + +\starttabulate +\HL +\NC numeric \NC real number in the range $-4096 \ldots +4096$ \NC \NR +\NC boolean \NC a variable that takes one of two states: true or false \NC \NR +\NC pair \NC point or vector in 2||dimensional space \NC \NR +\NC path \NC a piecewise collection of curves and line segments \NC \NR +\NC picture \NC collection of stroked or filled paths \NC \NR +\NC string \NC sequence of characters, like \type {"metapost"} \NC \NR +\NC color \NC vector of three (rgb) or four (cmyk) numbers \NC \NR +\HL +\stoptabulate + +There are two additional types, \type {transform} and \type {pen}, but we will +not discuss these in depth. + +\starttabulate +\HL +\NC transform \NC transformation vector with six elements \NC \NR +\NC pen \NC pen specification \NC \NR +\HL +\stoptabulate + +You can achieve interesting effects by using pens with certain shapes. For the +moment you may consider a pen to be a path itself that is applied to the path +that is drawn. + +The \type {numeric} data type is used so often that it is the default type of any +non declared variable. This means that + +\starttyping +n := 10 ; +\stoptyping + +is the same as + +\starttyping +numeric n ; n := 10 ; +\stoptyping + +When writing collections of macros, it makes sense to use the second method, +because you can never be sure if \type {n} isn't already declared as a picture +variable, and assigning a numeric to a picture variable is not permitted. + +Because we often deal with collections of objects, such as a series of points, +all variables can be organized in arrays. For instance: + +\starttyping +numeric n[] ; n[3] := 10 ; n[5] := 13 ; +\stoptyping + +An array is a collection of variables of the same type that are assigned and +accessed by indexing the variable name, as in \type {n[3] := 5}. +Multi||dimensional arrays are also supported. Since you need a bit of imagination +to find an application for 5||dimensional arrays, we restrict ourselves to a +two||dimensional example. + +\starttyping +numeric n[][] ; n[2][3] := 10 ; +\stoptyping + +A nice feature is that the bounds of such an array needs not to be set +beforehand. This also means that each cell that you access is reported as {\em +unknown} unless you have assigned it a value. + +Behind the screens there are not really arrays. It's just a matter of creating +hash entries. It might not be obvious, but the following assignments are all +equivalent: + +\startbuffer +i_111_222 := 1cm ; +i_[111]_[222] := 1cm ; +i_[111][222] := 1cm ; +draw + image ( + draw (0cm,i_111_222) ; + draw (1cm,i_[111]_[222]) ; + draw (2cm,i_[111][222]) ; + ) + withpen pencircle scaled 5mm + withcolor .625 red ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +Sometimes \METAPOST\ ways are mysterious: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Conditions}] + +\index{conditions} + +The existence of boolean variables indicates the presence of conditionals. +Indeed, the general form of \METAPOST's conditional follows: + +\starttyping +if n=10 : draw p ; else : draw q ; fi ; +\stoptyping + +Watch the colons after the if and else clause. They may not be omitted. The +semi||colons on the other hand, are optional and depend on the context. You may +say things like: + +\starttyping +draw if n=10 : p ; else : q ; fi ; +\stoptyping + +Here we can omit a few semi||colons: + +\starttyping +draw if n=10 : p else : q fi withcolor red ; +\stoptyping + +Adding semi||colons after \type {p} and \type {q} will definitely result in an +error message, since the semi||colon ends the draw operation and \typ {withcolor +red} becomes an isolated piece of nonsense. + +There is no case statement available, but for most purposes, the following +extension is adequate: + +\starttyping +draw p withcolor if n<10 : red elseif n=10 : green else : blue fi ; +\stoptyping + +There is a wide repertoire of boolean tests available. + +\starttyping +if picture p : +if known n : +if odd i : +if cycle q : +\stoptyping + +Of course, you can use \type {and}, \type {or}, \type {not}, and \type {( )} to +construct very advanced boolean expressions. If you have a bit of programming +experience, you will appreciate the extensive support of conditionals in +\METAPOST. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Loops}] + +\index{loops} + +Yet another programming concept present in \METAPOST\ is the loop statement, the +familiar \quote {for loop} of all programming languages. + +\starttyping +for i=0 step 2 until 20 : + draw (0,i) ; +endfor ; +\stoptyping + +As explained convincingly in Niklaus Wirth's book on algorithms and +datastructures, the for loop is the natural companion to an array. Given an array +of length $n$, you can construct a path out of the points that make up the array. + +\starttyping +draw for i=0 step 1 until n-1 : p[i] .. endfor p[n] ; +\stoptyping + +If the step increment is not explicitly stated, it has an assumed value of 1. We +can shorten the previous loop construct as follows: + +\starttyping +draw for i=0 upto n-1 : p[i] .. endfor p[n] ; +\stoptyping + +After seeing \type {if} in action, the following \type {for} loop will be no +surprise: + +\startbuffer +draw origin for i=0 step 10 until 100 : ..{down}(i,0) endfor ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +This gives the zig||zag curve: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer +\stoplinecorrection + +You can use a loop to iterate over a list of objects. A simple 3||step iteration +is: + +\starttyping +for i=p,q,r : + fill i withcolor .8white ; + draw i withcolor red ; +endfor ; +\stoptyping +Using \type {for} in this manner can sometimes save a bit of typing. The list can +contain any expression, and may be of different types. + +In the previous example the \type {i} is an independent variable, local to the +for loop. If you want to change the loop variable itself, you need to use \type +{forsuffixes}. In the next loop the paths \type {p}, \type {q} and~\type {r} are +all shifted. + +\starttyping +forsuffixes i = p, q, r : + i := i shifted (3cm,2cm) ; +endfor ; +\stoptyping + +Sometimes you may want to loop forever until a specific condition occurs. For +this, \METAPOST\ provides a special looping mechanism: + +\startbuffer[demo] +numeric done[][], i, j, n ; n := 0 ; +forever : + i := round(uniformdeviate(10)) ; j := round(uniformdeviate(2)) ; + if unknown done[i][j] : + drawdot (i*cm,j*cm) ; n := n + 1 ; done[i][j] := n ; + fi ; + exitif n = 10 ; +endfor ; +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer[demo] + +Here we remain in the loop until we have 10 points placed. We use an array to +keep track of placed points. The \METAPOST\ macro \type {uniformdeviate(n)} +returns a random number between 0 and~n and the \type {round} command is used to +move the result toward the nearest integer. The \type {unknown} primitive allows +us to test if the array element already exists, otherwise we exit the +conditional. This saves a bit of computational time as each point is drawn and +indexed only once. + +\startbuffer[pen] +pickup pencircle scaled 2mm ; +\stopbuffer + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\processMPbuffer[pen,demo] +\stoplinecorrection + +The loop terminator \type {exitif} and its companion \type {exitunless} can be +used in \type {for}, \type {forsuffixes} and \type {forever}. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Macros}] + +\index{macros} +\index{definitions} + +In the previous section we introduced \type {upto}. Actually this is not part of +the built in syntax, but a sort of shortcut, defined by: + +\starttyping +def upto = step 1 until enddef ; +\stoptyping + +You just saw a macro definition where \type {upto} is the name of the macro. The +counterpart of \type {upto} is \type {downto}. Whenever you use \type {upto}, it +is replaced by \typ {step 1 until}. This replacement is called expansion. + +There are several types of macros. A primary macro is used to define your own +operators. For example: + +\starttyping +primarydef p doublescaled s = + p xscaled (s/2) yscaled (s*2) +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +Once defined, the \type {doublescaled} macro is implemented as in the following +example: + +\starttyping +draw somepath doublescaled 2cm withcolor red ; +\stoptyping + +When this command is executed, the macro is expanded. Thus, the actual content of +this command becomes: + +\starttyping +draw somepath xscaled 1cm yscaled 4cm withcolor red ; +\stoptyping + +If in the definition of \type {doublescaled} we had added a semi||colon after +\type {(s*2)}, we could not have set the color, because the semicolon ends the +statement. The \type {draw} expects a path, so the macro can best return one. + +A macro can take one or more arguments, as in: + +\starttyping +def drawrandomscaledpath (expr p, s) = + draw p xscaled (s/2) yscaled (s*2) ; +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +When using this macro, it is expected that you will pass it two parameters, the +first being a path, the second a numeric scale factor. + +\starttyping +drawrandomscaledpath(fullsquare, 3cm) ; +\stoptyping + +Sometimes we want to return a value from a macro. In that case we must make sure +that any calculations don't interfere with the expectations. Consider: + +\starttyping +vardef randomscaledpath(expr p, s) = + numeric r ; r := round(1 + uniformdeviate(4)) ; + p xscaled (s/r) yscaled (s*r) +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +Because we want to use the same value of \type {r} twice, we have to use an +intermediate variable. By using a \type {vardef} we hide everything but the last +statement. It is important to distinguish \type {def} macros from those defined +with \type {vardef}. In the latter case, \type {vardef} macros are not a simple +expansion and replacement. Rather, \type {vardef} macros return the value of +their last statement. In the case of the \type {randomscaledpath} macro, a path +is returned. This macro is used in the following manner: + +\starttyping +path mypath ; mypath := randomscaledpath(unitsquare,4cm) ; +\stoptyping + +Note that we send \type {randomscaledpath} a path (\type {unitsquare}) and a +scaling factor (\type {4cm}). The macro returns a scaled path which is then +stored in the path variable \type {mypath}. + +The following argument types are accepted: + +\starttabulate +\HL +\NC expr \NC something that can be assigned to a variable \NC \NR +\NC text \NC arbitrary \METAPOST\ code ending with a \type {;} \NC \NR +\NC suffix \NC a variable bound to another variable \NC \NR +\HL +\stoptabulate +An expression is passed by value. This means that in the body of the macro, a +copy is used and the original is left untouched. On the other hand, any change to +a variable passed as suffix is also applied to the original. + +Local variables must be handled in a special manner, since they may conflict with +variables used elsewhere. This is because all variables are global by default. +The way out of this problem is using grouping in combination with saving +variables. The use of grouping is not restricted to macros and may be used +anywhere in your code. Variables saved and declared in a group are local to that +group. Once the group is exited the variables cease to exist. + +\starttyping +vardef randomscaledpath(expr p, s) = + begingroup ; save r ; numeric r ; + r := round(1 + uniformdeviate(4)) ; + p xscaled (s/r) yscaled (s*r) + endgroup +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +In this particular case, we could have omitted the grouping, since \type {vardef} +macros are always grouped automatically. Therefore, we could have defined the +macro as: + +\starttyping +vardef randomscaledpath(expr p, s) = + save r ; numeric r ; r := round(1 + uniformdeviate(4)) ; + p xscaled (s/r) yscaled (s*r) +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +The command \type {save r} declares that the variable \type {r} is local to the +macro. Thus, any changes to the (new) numeric variable \type {r} are local and +will not interfere with a variable \type {r} defined outside the macro. This is +important to understand, as variables outside the macro are global and accessible +to the code within the body of the macro. + +Macro definitions may be nested, but since most \METAPOST\ code is relatively +simple, it is seldom needed. Nesting is discouraged as it makes your code less +readable. + +Besides \type {def} and \type {vardef}, \METAPOST\ also provides the classifiers +\type {primarydef}, \type {secondarydef} and \type {tertiarydef}. You can use +these classifiers to define macros like those provided by \METAPOST\ itself: + +\starttyping +primarydef x mod y = ... enddef ; +secondarydef p intersectionpoint q = ... enddef ; +tertiarydef p softjoin q = ... enddef ; +\stoptyping +A primary macro acts like the binary operators \type {*} or \type {scaled} and +\type {shifted}. Secondary macros are like \type {+}, \type {-} and logical \type +{or}, and take less precedence. The tertiary operators like \type {<} or the path +and string concatenation operator \type {&} have tertiary macros as companions. +More details can be found in the \METAFONT\ book. When it comes to taking +precedence, \METAPOST\ tries to be as natural as possible, in the sense that you +need to provide as few \type {( )}'s as possible. When in doubt, or when +surprised by unexpected results, use parentheses. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Arguments}] + +\index{arguments} +\index{macros+arguments} + +The \METAPOST\ macro language is rather flexible in how you feed arguments to +macros. If you have only one argument, the following definitions and calls are +valid. + +\starttyping +def test expr a = enddef ; test (a) ; test a ; +def test (expr a) = enddef ; test (a) ; test a ; +\stoptyping + +A more complex definition is the following. As you can see, you can call the +\type {test} macro in your favorite way. + +\starttyping +def test (expr a,b) (expr c,d) = enddef ; + +test (a) (b) (c) (d) ; +test (a,b) (c,d) ; +test (a,b,c) (d) ; +test (a,b,c,d) ; +\stoptyping + +The type of the arguments is one of \type {expr}, \type {primary} or \type +{suffix}. When fetching arguments, \METAPOST\ uses the type to determine how and +what to grab. A fourth type is \type {text}. When no parenthesis are used, a +\type {text} argument grabs everything upto the next semicolon. + +\starttyping +def test (expr a) text b = enddef ; + +test (a) ; test (a) b ; +\stoptyping + +You can use a \type {text} to grab arguments like \typ {withpen pencircle scaled +10 withcolor red}. Because \type {text} is so hungry, you may occasionally need a +two stage definition: + +\starttyping +def test expr a = dotext(a) enddef ; +def dotest (expr a) text b = ... enddef ; + +test a ; test a b ; +\stoptyping + +This definition permits arguments without parenthesis, which is something you +want with commands like \type {draw}. + +The \type {vardef} alternative behaves in a similar way. It always provides +grouping. You need to generate a return value and as a result may not end with a +semicolon. + +You may consider the whole \type {vardef} to be encapsulated into parenthesis and +thereby to be a (self contained) variable. Adding additional parenthesis often +does more harm than good: + +\starttyping +vardef test (expr a) = + ( do tricky things with a ; manipulated_a ) +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +Here the tricky things become part of the return value, which quite certainly is +something that you don't want. + +The three operator look||alike macro definitions are less flexible and have the +definition scheme: + +\starttyping +primarydef x test y = enddef ; +secondarydef x test y = enddef ; +tertiarydef x test y = enddef ; +\stoptyping + +When defining macros using this threesome you need to be aware of the associated +priorities. When using these definitions, you also have to provide your own +grouping. + +In the plain \METAPOST\ macro collection (\type {plain.mp}) you can find many +examples of clever definitions. The following (simplified) version of \type {min} +demonstrates how we use the argument handler to isolate the first argument from +the provided list, simply by using two arguments. + +\starttyping +vardef min (expr u) (text t) = + save min_u ; min_u := u ; + for uu = t : if uu<u : min_u := uu ; fi endfor + min_u +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +The special sequence \type {@#} is used to pick up a so called delimited argument: + +\starttyping +vardef TryMe@#(expr x) = + % we can now use @#, which is just text +enddef ; +\stoptyping + +This feature is used in the definition of \type {z} as used in \type {z1} or +\type {z234}: + +\starttyping +vardef z@# = (x@#,y@#) enddef ; +\stoptyping + +Other applications can be found in the label drawing macros where the anchor +point is assigned to the obscure variable \type {@#}. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Pens}] + +\index{pens} + +When drawing, three attributes can be applied to it: a dashpattern, a pen +and|/|or a color. You may consider an arrowhead an attribute, but actually it is +just an additional drawing, appended to the path. + +The (predefined) \type {pencircle} attribute looks like: + +\starttyping +withpen pencircle +\stoptyping + +where \type {pencircle} is a special kind of path, stored in a pen variable. Like +any path, you can transform it. You can scale it equally in all directions: + +\starttyping +withpen pencircle scaled 1mm +\stoptyping + +You can also provide unequal scales, creating an elliptically shaped and rotated +pen. + +\starttyping +withpen pencircle xscaled 2mm yscaled 4mm rotated 30 +\stoptyping + +In the following graphic, the circle in the center is drawn without any option, +which means that the default pen is used, being a pencircle with a radius of half +a base point. The other three circles are drawn with different pen +specifications. + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\startMPcode +path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 1cm ; +drawoptions (withcolor .625yellow) ; +draw p ; +drawoptions (withcolor .625red) ; +draw p scaled 2 withpen pencircle ; +drawoptions (withcolor .625yellow) ; +draw p scaled 3 withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; +drawoptions (withcolor .625red) ; +draw p scaled 4 withpen pencircle xscaled 2mm yscaled 4mm rotated 30 ; +\stopMPcode +\stoplinecorrection + +If you forget about the colors, the \METAPOST\ code to achieve this is as +follows. + +\starttyping +path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 1cm ; +draw p ; +draw p scaled 2 withpen pencircle ; +draw p scaled 3 withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; +draw p scaled 4 withpen pencircle xscaled 2mm yscaled 4mm rotated 30 ; +\stoptyping + +If this were the only way of specifying a pen, we would be faced with a +considerable amount of typing, particularly in situations where we use pens +similar to the fourth specification above. For that reason, \METAPOST\ supports +the concept of a current pen. The best way to set this pen is to use the \type +{pickup} macro. + +\starttyping +pickup pencircle xscaled 2mm yscaled 4mm rotated 30 ; +\stoptyping + +This macro also stores some characteristics of the pen in variables, so that they +can be used in (the more complicated) calculations that are involved in +situations like drawing font||like graphics. + +If we substitute \type {pencircle} by \type {pensquare}, we get a different kind +of shapes. In the non rotated pens, the top, bottom, left and right parts of the +curve are thinner. + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\startMPcode +path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 1cm ; +drawoptions (withcolor .625yellow) ; +draw p ; +drawoptions (withcolor .625red) ; +draw p scaled 2 withpen pensquare ; +drawoptions (withcolor .625yellow) ; +draw p scaled 3 withpen pensquare scaled 1mm ; +drawoptions (withcolor .625red) ; +draw p scaled 4 withpen pensquare xscaled 2mm yscaled 4mm rotated 30 ; +\stopMPcode +\stoplinecorrection + +You should look at pens in the way an artist does. He follows a shape and in +doing so he or she twists the pen (and thereby the nib) and puts more or less +pressure on it. + +The chance that you have an appropriate pen laying at your desk is not so big, +but you can simulate the following \METAPOST's pen by taking two pencils and +holding them together in one hand. If you position them in a 45 degrees angle, +and draw a circle, you will get something like: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\startMPcode +path p ; p := fullcircle xscaled 2cm yscaled 3cm ; +drawoptions(withcolor .625red withpen pencircle scaled .5mm); +draw p ; draw p shifted (.3cm,.3cm) ; +\stopMPcode +\stoplinecorrection + +If you take a calligraphic pen with a thin edge of .5cm, you will get: + +\startlinecorrection[blank] +\startMPcode +drawoptions(withcolor .625red); +path p ; p := fullcircle xscaled 2cm yscaled 3cm ; +draw p withpen makepen ((0,0)--(.3cm,.3cm)) withcolor .625white ; +drawoptions(withcolor .625red withpen pencircle scaled .25mm); +draw p ; draw p shifted (.3cm,.3cm) ; +\stopMPcode +\stoplinecorrection + +You can define such a pen yourself: + +\starttyping +path p ; p := fullcircle xscaled 2cm yscaled 3cm ; +pen doublepen ; doublepen := makepen ((0,0)--(.3cm,.3cm)) ; +pickup doublepen ; draw p ; +\stoptyping + +Here we define a new pen using the \type {pen} command. Then we define a path, +and make a pen out of it using the \type {makepen} macro. The path should be a +relatively simple one, otherwise \METAPOST\ will complain. + +You can use \type {makepen} with the previously introduced \type {withpen}: + +\starttyping +draw p withpen makepen ((0,0)--(.3cm,.3cm)) ; +\stoptyping + +and \type {pickup}: + +\starttyping +pickup makepen ((0,0)--(.3cm,.3cm)) ; draw p ; +\stoptyping + +You can use \type {makepen} and \type {makepath} to convert paths into pens and +vice versa. + +Pens are very important when defining fonts, and \METAFONT\ is meant to be a font +creation tool.

Although for most of the graphics that we will present in +later chapters, an assignment is appropriate, specifying a graphic in terms of +expressions is not only more flexible, but also more in the spirit of the +designers of \METAFONT\ and \METAPOST. + +The \METAFONT\ book and \METAPOST\ manual provide lots of examples, some of which +involve math that we don't consider to belong to everyones repertoire. But, even +for non mathematicians using expressions can be a rewarding challenge. + +The next introduction to linear equations is based on my first experiences with +\METAPOST\ and involves a mathematical challenge posed by a friend. I quickly +ascertained that a graphical proof was far more easy than some proof with a lot +of $\sin (this)$ and $\cos (that)$ and long forgotten formulas. + +I was expected to prove that the lines connecting the centers of four squares +drawn upon the four sides of a quadrilateral were perpendicular (see \in {figure} +[fig:problem]). + +\getbuffer[a,b,c,d,e] + +\getbuffer[f] + +This graphic was generated with the following command: + +\typebuffer[f] + +We will use this example to introduce a few new concepts, one being instances. In +a large document there can be many \METAPOST\ graphics and they might fall in +different categories. In this manual we have graphics that are generated as part +of the style as wel as examples that show what \METAFUN\ can do. As definitions +and variables in \METAPOST\ are global by default, there is a possibility that we +end up with clashes. This can be avoided by grouping graphics in instances. Here +we create an instance for the example that we're about to show. + +\typebuffer[a] + +We can now limit the scope of definitions to this specific instance. Let's start +with the macro that takes care of drawing the solution to our problem. The macro +accepts four pairs of coordinates that determine the central quadrilateral. All +of them are expressions. + +\typebuffer[b] + +Because we want to call this macro more than once, we first have to save the +locally used values. Instead of declaring local variables, one can hide their use +from the outside world. In most cases variables behave globally. If we don't save +them, subsequent calls will lead to errors due to conflicting equations. We can +omit the grouping commands, because we wrap the graphic in a figure, and figures +are grouped already. + +We will use the predefined \type {z} variable, or actually a macro that returns a +variable. This variable has two components, an \type {x} and \type {y} +coordinate. So, we don't save \type {z}, but the related variables \type {x} and +\type {y}. + +Next we draw four squares and instead of hard coding their corner points, we use +\METAPOST's equation solver. Watch the use of \type {=} which means that we just +state dependencies. In languages like \PERL, the equal sign is used in +assignments, but in \METAPOST\ it is used to express relations. + +In a first version, we will just name a lot of simple relations, as we can read +them from a sketch drawn on paper. So, we end up with quite some \type {z} +related expressions. + +For those interested in the mathematics behind this code, we add a short +explanation. Absolutely key to the construction is the fact that you traverse the +original quadrilateral in a clockwise orientation. What is really going on here +is vector geometry. You calculate the vector from $z_{11}$ to $z_{12}$ (the first +side of the original quadrilateral) with: + +\starttyping +(a,b) = z12 - z11 ; +\stoptyping + +This gives a vector that points from $z_{11}$ to $z_{12}$. Now, how about an +image that shows that the vector $(-b,a)$ is a 90 degree rotation in the +counterclockwise direction. Thus, the points $z_{13}$ and $z_{14}$ are easily +calculated with vector addition. + +\starttyping +z13 = z12 + (-b,a) ; +z14 = z11 + (-b,a) ; +\stoptyping + +This pattern continues as you move around the original quadrilateral in a +clockwise manner. \footnote {Thanks to David Arnold for this bonus explanation.} + +The code that calculates the pairs \type {a} through \type {h}, can be written in +a more compact way. + +\starttyping +(a,b) = z12 - z11 ; (c,d) = z22 - z21 ; +(e,f) = z32 - z31 ; (g,h) = z42 - z41 ; +\stoptyping + +The centers of each square can also be calculated by \METAPOST. The next lines +define that those points are positioned halfway the extremes. + +\starttyping +z1 = 0.5[z11,z13] ; z2 = 0.5[z21,z23] ; +z3 = 0.5[z31,z33] ; z4 = 0.5[z41,z43] ; +\stoptyping + +Once we have defined the relations we can let \METAPOST\ solve the equations. +This is triggered when a variable is needed, for instance when we draw the +squares and their diagonals. We connect the centers of the squares using a dashed +line style. + +Just to be complete, we add a symbol that marks the right angle. First we +determine the common point of the two lines, that lays at {\em whatever} point +\METAPOST\ finds suitable. + +The definition of \type {mark_rt_angle} is copied from the \METAPOST\ manual and +shows how compact a definition can be (see \at {page} [zscaled] for an +introduction to \type {zscaled}). + +\typebuffer[c] + +So far, most equations are rather simple, and in order to solve them, \METAPOST\ +did not have to work real hard. The only boundary condition is that in order to +find a solution, \METAPOST\ must be able to solve all dependencies. + +The actual value of the \type {whatever} variable is that it saves us from +introducing a slew of variables that will never be used again. We could write: + +\starttyping +z0 = A[z1,z3] = B[z2,z4] ; +\stoptyping + +and get the same result, but the \type {whatever} variable saves us the trouble +of introducing intermediate variables for which we have no use once the +calculation is finished. + +The macro \type{mark_rt_angle} draws the angle symbol and later we will see how +it is defined. First we draw the labels. Unfortunately we cannot package \typ +{btex ... etex} into a macro, because it is processed in a rather special way. +Each \typ {btex ... etex} occurance is filtered from the source and converted +into a snippet of \TEX\ code. When passed through \TEX, each snippet becomes a +page, and an auxiliary program converts each page into a \METAPOST\ picture +definition, which is loaded by \METAPOST. The limitation lays in the fact that +the filtering is done independent from the \METAPOST\ run, which means that loops +(and other code) are not seen at all. Later we will introduce the \METAFUN\ way +around this. + +In order to get all the labels typeset, we have to put a lot of code here. The +macro \type {dotlabel} draws a dot and places the typeset label. + +\typebuffer[d] + +Watch out: as we are in \CONTEXT, we can pass regular \TEX\ code to the label +macro. In a standalone \METAPOST\ run you'd have to use the \type {btex} variant. + +We are going to draw a lot of pictures, so we define an extra macro. This time we +hard||code some values. The fractions \type {i} and \type {j} are responsible for +the visual iteration process, while \type {s} determines the labels. We pass +these variables to the graphic using an extra argument. When you define the +(useable) graphic you need to tell what variables it can expect. + +\typebuffer[e] + +Of course we could have used a loop construct here, but defining auxiliary macros +probably takes more time than simply calling the drawing macro directly.

In category and topos theory, for example, many key +concepts, formulas, and theorems are expressed by means of \emph {commutative +diagrams}; these involve objects and arrows between them. Certain concepts +discovered by category theory, such as \emph {natural transformations}, are +becoming useful in areas outside of mathematics and natural science, e.g., in +philosophy. To make category and topos methods usable by both specialists and +non|-|specialists, commutative diagrams are an indispensable tool. +\startfootnote + For many examples of formal and informal commutative diagrams, see \cite + [authoryears] [Lawvere2009]. +\stopfootnote +The use of nodal diagrams is not limited to category theory, for they may +represent a flow diagram (of a process, for example), a chemical reaction +sequence or pathways, or that of phases and phase transitions, a hierarchical +structure (of anything), a timeline or sequence of events or dependencies, a tree +of descendance or ascendance, etc. + +The basic units of a node|-|based diagram include \emph {node objects}, each +attached to some point (= the \emph {node}) in some spatial relationship. Note +that to a single node might be associated a set of objects. Given a node, it also +stands in a spatial relation to some other node. The spatial relationship between +the set of nodes of a diagram need not be in a regular network, although they +quite often are. Note that the spatial relationship between nodes is graphical +and may represent, e.g., a temporal or logical relationship, or a transformation +of one object into another or into others (one interesting example might be that +representing cell division or, mitosis). + +Given a spatial relation between any two nodes, a node|-|based diagram often +includes some \emph {path segment} or segments (such as arrows or other curves) +between two given nodes that \emph {relates} them. Each path segment may be +augmented by some textual or graphical label. + +A very simple example of a node diagram is shown in \in{Figure} [fig:AB]. + +\startbuffer +\startMPcode + clearnodepath ; + nodepath = (left -- right) scaled .75cm ; + draw node(0,"A") ; + draw node(1,"B") ; + drawarrow fromto(0,0,1) ; +\stopMPcode +\stopbuffer + +\startplacefigure [reference=fig:AB] + \getbuffer +\stopplacefigure + +\startplacefigure [reference=fig:ID, + location={right,+2*hang}] +\startMPcode + clearnodepath ; nodepath = origin ; + draw node(0,"$O$") ; + drawarrow fromto.urt (.75cm,0,0) ; + setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture + enlarged (1.2cm,0) ; +\stopMPcode +\stopplacefigure + +More precisely, a \emph {node} is a point of intersection or branching of paths, +often a point on a regular lattice.

For those who have tried the +\CONTEXT\ interface and/or want to draw more advanced diagrams, the \METAPOST\ +module is much more powerful and flexible. + +\stopsubject + +\startsubject [title=\METAPOST] + +\METAPOST\ is a vector|-|graphics language which calls upon \TeX\ to typeset text +(such as labels); in \CONTEXT, furthermore, \METAPOST\ is integrated natively +through the library MPlib as well as the macro package \METAFUN. The tight +integration of \CONTEXT\ and \METAPOST\ provides advantages over the use of +other, external graphics engines. These advantages include ease of maintaining +coherence of style, as well as extensive flexibility without bloat. \METAPOST\ +has further advantages over most other graphics engines, including a very high +degree of precision as well as the possibility to solve certain types of +algebraic equations. This last feature is rarely used but should not be +overlooked. + +It is quite natural in \METAPOST\ to locate our node objects along a path or on +differing paths. This is a much more powerful concept than merely locating a node +at some pair of coordinates, e.g., on a square or a rectangular lattice, for +example (as in a table). Furthermore, these paths may be in three dimensions (or +more); of course the printed page will only involve some projection onto two +dimensions. Nor are the nodes restricted to location on the points defining a +path: they may have, as index, any \emph {time} along a given path \type {p} +ranging from the first defining point ($t = 0$) up to the last point of that path +($t ≤ \mathtt {length(p)}$), the number of defining points of a path. +\startfootnote + Note that the time of a cyclic path is taken modulo the length of the path, + that is $t$ outside of the range $[\mathtt0,\mathtt{length(p)}]$ will return + the first or the last point of an open path, but will \quotation {wrap} for a + closed path. +\stopfootnote + +Given a path \type {p}, nodes are defined (implicitly) as \type {picture} +elements: \type {picture p.pic[] ;} This is a pseudo|-|array where the square +brackets indicates a set of numerical tokens, as in \type {p.pic[0]} or \type +{p.pic[i]} (for \type {i=0}), but also \type {p.pic0}. This number need not be an +integer, and \type {p.pic[.5]} or \type {p.pic.5} (not to be confused with \type +{p.pic5}) are also valid. These picture elements are taken to be located relative +to the path \type {p}, with the index \type {t} corresponding to a time along the +path, as in \type {draw p.pic[t] shifted point t of p;} (although it is not +necessary to draw them in this way). This convention allows the nodes to be +oriented and offset with respect to the path in an arbitrary manner. + +Note that a path can be defined, then nodes placed relative to this path. Or the +path may be declared but remain undefined, to be determined only after the nodes +are declared. In yet another possibility, the path may be adjusted as needed, as +a function of whatever nodes are to be occupied.

The macros used here rely on +the creation of certain internal variables and may not function correctly if the +variable structure is not cleared. Indeed, any node may contain a combination of +picture elements, added successively, so it is very important to \type {save} the +variable, making its use local, rather than global. This point is particularly +true with \CONTEXT, where a single MPlib instance is used and maintained over +multiple runs. + +The \CONTEXT\ directives \type {\startMPcode} … \type {\stopMPcode} include +grouping (\METAPOST\ \type {begingroup ;}… \type {endgroup ;}) and the use of +\type {save} (in \type {clearnodepath}) will make the suffix \type {nodepath} +local to this code block. In the code for \in{Figures} [fig:square] and \in +[fig:natural], the path \type {p} itself is not declared local (through the use +of a \type {save}); it therefore remains available for other \METAPOST\ code +blocks. We cannot do this with the default suffix name \type {nodepath} without +undesired consequences. + +The directive \type {clearnodepath} used in the example above, much like the +\METAPOST\ command \type {clearxy} clearing the \type {(x,y)} pair also known as +\type {z}, uses \type {save} to clear the default suffix \type {nodepath}. +\stopaside + +Note that one should not confuse the \METAPOST\ function \type {node()} with the +\CONTEXT\ command \type {\node{}}, defined as follows: + +\starttwo + \startTEX + \defineframed + [node] + [frame=off, + offset=1pt] + \stopTEX +\two + \startTEX + \defineframed + [nodeSmall] + [node] + [foregroundstyle=small] + \stopTEX +\stoptwo + +\type {\node{}} places the text within a \CONTEXT\ frame (with the frame border +turned|-|off), whereas the \METAPOST\ function \type {node(i,"…")} sets and +returns a picture element associated with a point on path \type {nodepath} +indexed by its first argument. The second argument here is a string that gets +typeset by \TEX. (The use of \type {\node{}} adds an \type {offset}). + +By default, the \METAPOST\ function \type {fromto()} returns a path segment going +between two points of the path \type {nodepath}. The first argument (\type {0} in +the example above) can be used as a displacement to skew the path away from a +straight line (by an amount in units of the straight path length). The last +argument is a string to be typeset and placed midpoint of the segment. The +{suffix} appended to the function name gives an offset around this halfway point. +This follows standard \METAPOST\ conventions. + +It is important to draw or declare the nodes \emph {before} drawing the +connections, using \type {fromto()}, in order to be able to avoid overlapping +symbols, as one notices that the arrows drawn in the example above begin and end +on the border of the frame (or bounding box) surrounding the node text. This +would of course not be possible if the arrow were to be drawn before this text +was known. + +As will be seen further on, one can actually specify the use of any defined path, +without restriction to the built|-|in name \type {nodepath} that is used by +default. Furthermore, a function \type {fromtopaths()} can be used to draw +segments connecting any two paths which may be distinct. This too will be +illustrated further on. + +The \CONTEXT\ syntax for the current example looks like this: + +\startbuffer + \startnodes [dx=3cm,dy=3cm] + \placenode [0,0] {\node{$G(X)$}} + \placenode [1,0] {\node{$G(Y)$}} + \placenode [1,1] {\node{$F(Y)$}} + \placenode [0,1] {\node{$F(X)$}} + \connectnodes [0,1] [alternative=arrow, + label={\nodeSmall{$G(f)$}},position=bottom] + \connectnodes [3,2] [alternative=arrow, + label={\nodeSmall{$F(f)$}},position=top] + \connectnodes [2,1] [alternative=arrow, + label={\nodeSmall{$η_Y$}}, position=right] + \connectnodes [3,0] [alternative=arrow, + label={\nodeSmall{$η_X$}}, position=left] + \stopnodes +\stopbuffer + +\startplacefigure [location=right, + title={Drawn using \CONTEXT\ interface}] + \getbuffer +\stopplacefigure + +\typebuffer [option=TEX] + +\startplacefigure [reference=fig:indices, + location=right, + title={Coordinates and indices.\footnote{For variety, a rectangular oblique + lattice is drawn in \in{Figure} [fig:indices].} + }] +\stopfootnote + \startframed [frame=off,width=.33\textwidth,align=flushright] + \startnodes [dx=3cm,dy=2cm,rotation=60] + \placenode [0,0] {\node{(0,0)}} + \placenode [1,0] {\node{(1,0)}} + \placenode [1,1] {\node{(1,1)}} + \placenode [0,1] {\node{(0,1)}} + \connectnodes [0,1] [alternative=arrow, + label={\nodeSmall{$0\rightarrow1$}},position=bottom] + \connectnodes [3,2] [alternative=arrow, + label={\nodeSmall{$3\rightarrow2$}},position=top] + \connectnodes [2,1] [alternative=arrow, + label={\nodeSmall{$~2\rightarrow1$}}, position=right] + \connectnodes [3,0] [alternative=arrow, + label={\nodeSmall{$3\rightarrow0$}}, position=upperleft] + \stopnodes + \stopframed +\stopplacefigure + +This follows the more classic (and limited) approach of placing nodes on the +coordinates of a regular lattice, here defined as a 3~cm square network. +\footnote {The lattice can be square (\type {dx} $=$ \type {dy}), rectangular +(\type {dx} $≠$ \type {dy}), or oblique (through \type {rotation} $≠$ 90).} The +arguments are then $(x,y)$ coordinates of this lattice and the nodes are indexed +0, 1, 2, … in the order that they are drawn.

It \emph {assumes} the path \type {nodepath}, +and in fact calls the function \type {fromtopaths} that explicitly takes path +names as arguments. That is, \type {fromto (d, i, j, …)} is equivalent to \type +{fromtopaths (d, nodepath, i, nodepath, j, …)}. + +As stated above, this segment can be a straight line or else a path that can be +bowed|-|away from this straight line by a transverse displacement given by the +function's first argument (given in units of the straight segment length).

The question is, did we achieve the +objectives? The answer can easily be \quotation {yes} because we didn't start +with objectives, just with some experiments with a \LUA\ extension interface. +However, it quickly became clear that this was the way to go. Already in an early +stage we took a stand in what direction we had to move. + +How did we end up with \LUA\ and not one of the other popular scripting +languages? The \CONTEXT\ macro package always came with a runner. Not only did +the runner manage the (often) multiple runs, it also took care of sorting the +index and other inter|-|job activities. Additional helpers were written for +installing fonts, managing (and converting) images, job control, etc. First they +were binaries (written in \MODULA\ 2), but successive implementations used \PERL\ +and \RUBY. When I found out that the \SCITE\ editor I switched to had an +extension mechanism using \LUA, I immediately liked that language. It's clean, +not bloated, relatively stable, evolves in an academic environment and is not +driven by commerce and|/|or short term success, and above all, the syntax makes +the code look good. So, it was the most natural candidate for extending \TEX. + +Already for along time, \TEX\ is a stable program and whatever we do with it, we +should not break it. There has been frontend extensions, like \ETEX, and backend +extensions, like \PDFTEX, and experiments like \OMEGA\ and \ALEPH\ and we could +start from there. So, basically we took \PDFTEX, after all, that was what we used +for the first experiments, and merged some \ALEPH\ directional code in it. A +tremendous effort was undertaken (thanks to funding by the Oriental \TEX\ +project) to convert the code base from \PASCAL\ to~\CCODE. + +It is hard to get an agreement over what needs to be added and it's a real waste +of time to enter that route by endless discussions: every \TEX\ user has +different demands and macro packages differ in philosophy . So, in the spirit of +the extension language \LUA\ we stuck to concept of \quotation {If you want it +better, write it in \LUA}. As a consequence we had to provide access to the +internals with efficient and convenient methods, something that happened +stepwise. We did extend the engine with a few features that make live easier but +tried to limit ourselves. On the other hand, due to developments with fonts and +languages we generalized these concepts so that extending and controlling them is +easier. And, due to developments in math font technology we also added +alternative code paths to the math renderer. + +All these matters have been presented and discussed at meetings, in user group +journals and in documents that are part of the \CONTEXT\ suite. And during this +decade the \CONTEXT\ users have been patient testers of whatever we threw at them +in the \MKIV\ version of this macro package. + +It's kind of interesting to note that in the \TEX\ community it takes a while +before version 1 of programs becomes available. Some programs never (seem to) +reach that state. However, for us version 1.0 marks the moment that we consider +the interfaces to be stable. Of course we move on so a version 2.0 can divert and +provide more or even less interfaces, provide new functionality or drop obsolete +features. The intermediate versions (up to version one) were always quite useable +in production. In 2005 the first prototype of \LUATEX\ was demonstrated at the +\TUG\ conference, and in 2007 at the \TUG\ conference we had a whole day on +\LUATEX. At that time \CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ evolved fast and we already had decent +\OPENTYPE\ support as part of the oriental \TEX\ project. It was in those years +that the major reorganization of the code base took place but in successive years +many subsystems were opened and cleaned up. There were some occasions where an +interface was changed for the better but adapting was not that hard. It might +have helped that much of \CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ is written in \LUA. What also helped is +that most \CONTEXT\ users quickly switched to \MKIV, if only because \MKII\ was +frozen. And, thanks to those users, we were able to root out bugs and +bottlenecks. It was interesting to see that the approach of mixing \TEX, +\METAPOST\ and \LUA\ catched on quite well. + +By the end of September 2016, at the 10\high{th} \CONTEXT\ meeting we released +what we call the first long term stable version of \LUATEX. This version performs +quite well but we might still add a few things here and there and the code will be +further cleaned up and documented. In the meantime \LUATEX\ is also used in other +macro packages. It will not replace \PDFTEX\ (at least not soon) because that +engine does the job for most of the publications done in \TEX: articles. As they +are mostly in English and use traditional fonts, there is no need to switch to +the more flexible but somewhat slower \LUATEX. In a similar fashion \XETEX\ +serves those who want the benefits of \PDFTEX, hard|-|coded font support and +token juggling at the \TEX\ level. We will support those engines with \MKII\ but +as mentioned, we will not develop new code for. We strongly advice \CONTEXT\ users +to use \LUATEX\ but there the advertisements stop. Personally I haven't used +\PDFTEX\ (which made \TEX\ survive in the evolving world of electronic documents) +for a decade and I never really used \XETEX\ (which opened up the \TEX\ world to +modern fonts). At least for the coming decade I hope that \LUATEX\ can serve us well. + +\stopchapter + +\stopcomponent diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/onandon/onandon-editing.tex b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/onandon/onandon-editing.tex new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..c8482397eca --- /dev/null +++ b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/onandon/onandon-editing.tex @@ -0,0 +1,393 @@ +% language=uk + +\startcomponent onandon-editing + +\environment onandon-environment + +\startchapter[title=Editing] + +\startsection[title=Introduction] + +% This introduction is similar to the workflows chapter. + +Some users like the synctex feature that is built in the \TEX\ engines. +Personally I never use it because it doesn't work well with the kind of documents +I maintain.

When the editor dealing with one big \XML\ file there's no +problem. Hopefully the filename will indicate the specific chapter. He or she +opens the file and searches for the typo. And then correction happens. But what +if there are hundreds of small \XML\ files. How does the editor know in which +file the typo can be found? + +First, let's give a few statistics based on two projects that are in a revision +stage. + +\starttabulate[|c|c|c|c|] +\HL +\NC + project \NC + chapters \NC + \# of files \NC + average \# of lines \NC \NR +\HL +\NC + A \NC + 16 \NC + 16 \NC + 11000 \NC \NR +\NC + B \NC + 132 \NC + 16000\footnote{132 chapters consisting of $\pm 120$ files.} \NC + 100 \NC \NR +\HL +\stoptabulate + +The \XML\ resource passes three stages: a raw, a semi final and a final version. +The raw \XML\ version originates from a web authoring tool that is used by the +author.

A typical semi final needs some 50 +runs where each run takes 20 seconds (assuming 3 runs to get all cross +referencing right). The numbers of explicit pagebreaks is about 5, and (related +to formulas) explicit linebreaks around 8. It takes some 2 hours to get +everything right, which includes checking in detail, fixing some things and if +needed moving content a bit around. + +Now we broaden the earlier question into: how can we make the work of an \XML\ +editor as easy and efficient as possible? + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Enhancing efficiency}] + +Since it is easier to proof content for folio and web via PDF documents we +generate proof \PDF\ files in which the complete content is shown. The proof can +be a massive document. A normal 40 page chapter can explode to 140 pages +visualizing all the content that is coded in the \XML\ file(s). + +The content in the proof is shown in an effective way and a functional order. +Let's give a few examples of how we enhance the \XML\ editors effectiveness: + +\startitemize[packed] + +\startitem + By default the proof \PDF\ file is interactive which serves testing the tocs + and the register. +\stopitem +\startitem + The web hyperlinks are active so their destinatation can be tested. +\stopitem +\startitem + The questions and their answers are displayed in eachothers proximity. This + sounds logical but in folio they are two seperate products (theory and + answer books). +\stopitem +\startitem + Medium specific content (web or folio) is typographically highligthed. For + example by colored backgrounds. +\stopitem +\startitem + When spelling mode is on the \XML\ editor can easily pick out the colored + misspelled words. +\stopitem +\startitem + Images can be active areas although this is of no interest to \XML\ editors. + Clicking the image results in opening the image file in its corresponding + application for maintenance. +\stopitem +\startitem + For practical reasons the filenames and paths of the \XML\ files are + displayed. The filenames are active links and clicking them results in + opening the destination \XML\ file in \SCITE. +\stopitem +\stopitemize + +Okay. The last option is a nice feature. However, the destination file is opened +at the top of the file and you still have to find the typo or whatever +incorrect issue you are looking for. + +So a further enhancement in efficiency would be to jump to the typo's +corresponding line in the \XML\ source. This is where \SYNCTEX\ comes into view. +This feature, present in the \TEX\ engines, provides a way to go from \PDF\ to +source by using a secondary file with positions. Unfortunately that mechanism is +hardly useable for \CONTEXT\ because it assumes a page and file handling model +different from what we use. However, as \CONTEXT\ uses \LUATEX, it can also +provide it's own alternative. + +\stopsection + +% The rest is similar to the workflows chapter. + +\startsection[title=What we want] + +The \SYNCTEX\ method roughly works as follows. Internally \TEX\ constricts linked +lists of glyphs, kerns, glue, boxes, rules etc. These elements are called nodes. +Some nodes carry information about the file and line where they were created. In +the backend this information gets somehow translated in a (sort of) verbose tree +that describes the makeup in terms of boxes, glue and kerns. From that +information the \SYNCTEX\ parser library, hooked into a \PDF\ viewer, can go back +from a position on the screen to a line in a file. One would expect this to be a +relative simple rectangle based model, but as far as I can see it's way more +complex than that. There are some comments that \CONTEXT\ is not supported well +because it has a layered page model, which indicates that there are some +assumptions about how macro packages are supposed to work. Also the used +heuristics not only involve some specific spot (location) but also involve the +corners and edges. It is therefore not so much a (simple) generic system but a +mechanism geared for a macro package like \LATEX. + +Because we have a couple of users who need to edit complex sets of documents, +coded in \TEX\ or \XML, I decided to come up with a variant that doesn't use the +\SYNCTEX\ machinery but manipulates the few \SYNCTEX\ fields directly \footnote {This +is something that in my opinion should have been possible right from the start +but it's too late now to change the system and it would not be used beyond +\CONTEXT\ anyway.} and eventually outputs a straightforward file for the editor. +Of course we need to follow some rules so that the editor can deal with it. It +took a bit of trial and error to get the right information in the support file +needed by the viewer but we got there. + +The prerequisites of a decent \CONTEXT\ \quotation {click on preview and goto +editor} are the following: + +\startitemize + +\startitem + It only makes sense to click on text in the text flow. Headers and footers + are often generated from structure, and special typographic elements can + originate in macros hooked into commands instead of in the source. +\stopitem + +\startitem + Users should not be able to reach environments (styles) and other files + loaded from the (normally read|-|only) \TEX\ tree, like modules. We don't + want accidental changes in such files. +\stopitem + +\startitem + We not only have \TEX\ files but also \XML\ files and these can normally + flush in rather arbitrary ways. Although the concept of lines is sort of + lost in such a file, there is still a relation between lines and the snippets + that make out the content of an \XML\ node. +\stopitem + +\startitem + In the case of \XML\ files the overhead related to preserving line + numbers should be minimal and have no impact on loading and memory when + these features are not used. +\stopitem + +\startitem + The overhead in terms of an auxiliary file size and complexity as well + as producing that file should be minimal. It should be easy to turn on and + off these features. (I'd never turn them on by default.) +\stopitem + +\stopitemize + +It is unavoidable that we get more run time but I assume that for the average user +that is no big deal. It pays off when you have a workflow when a book (or even a +chapter in a book) is generated from hundreds of small \XML\ files. There is no +overhead when \SYNCTEX\ is not used. + +In \CONTEXT\ we don't use the built|-|in \SYNCTEX\ features, that is: we let +filename and line numbers be set but often these are overloaded explicitly. The +output file is not compressed and constructed by \CONTEXT. There is no benefit in +compression and the files are probably smaller than default \SYNCTEX\ anyway. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Commands] + +Although you can enable this mechanism with directives it makes sense to do it +using the following command. + +\starttyping +\setupsynctex[state=start] +\stoptyping + +The advantage of using an explicit command instead of some command line option is +that in an editor it's easier to disable this trickery. Commenting that line will +speed up processing when needed. This command can also be given in an environment +(style). On the command line you can say + +\starttyping +context --synctex somefile.tex +\stoptyping + +A third method is to put this at the top of your file: + +\starttyping +% synctex=yes +\stoptyping + +Often an \XML\ files is very structured and although probably the main body of +text is flushed as a stream, specific elements can be flushed out of order. In +educational documents flushing for instance answers to exercises can happen out of +order. In that case we still need to make sure that we go to the right spot in +the file. It will never be 100\% perfect but it's better than nothing. The +above command will also enable \XML\ support. + +If you don't want a file to be accessed, you can block it: + +\starttyping +\blocksynctexfile[foo.tex] +\stoptyping + +Of course you need to configure the viewer to respond to the request for +editing. In Sumatra combined with SciTE the magic command is: + +\starttyping +c:\data\system\scite\wscite\scite.exe "%f" "-goto:%l" +\stoptyping + +Such a command is independent of the macro package so you can just consult the +manual or help info that comes with a viewer, given that it supports this linking +back to the source at all. + +If you enable tracing (see next section) you can what has become clickable. +Instead of words you can also work with ranges, which not only gives less runtime +but also much smaller \type {.synctex} files. Use + +\starttyping +\setupsynctex[state=start,method=min] +\stoptyping + +to get words clickable and + +\starttyping +\setupsynctex[state=start,method=max] +\stoptyping + +if you want somewhat more efficient ranges. The overhead for \type {min} is about +10 percent while \type {max} slows down around 5 percent. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Tracing] + +In case you want to see what gets synced you can enable a tracker: + +\starttyping +\enabletrackers[system.synctex.visualize] +\enabletrackers[system.synctex.visualize=real] +\stoptyping + +The following tracker outputs some status information about \XML\ flushing. Such +trackers only make sense for developers. + +\starttyping +\enabletrackers[system.synctex.xml] +\stoptyping + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Warning] + +Don't turn on this feature when you don't need it. This is one of those mechanism +that hits performance badly. + +Depending on needs the functionality can be improved and|/|or extended.

When possible I bring +kids to the Bacho\TEX\ conference so for the 2017 BachoTUG I decided to do +something with emoji that, after all, are mostly used by those younger than I am. +So, I had to take a look at the current state. Here are some observations. + +The \UNICODE\ standard defines a whole lot of emoji and if mankind manages to +survive for a while one can assume that a lot more will be added. After all, +icons as well as variants keep evolving. There are several ways to organize these +symbols in groups but I will not give grouping a try. Just visit \type +{emojipedia.org} and you get served well. For this story I only mention that: + +\startitemize + \startitem + There are quite some shapes and nearly all of them are in color. The + yellow ones, smilies and such, are quite prominently present but there + are many more. + \stopitem + \startitem + A special subset is fulled by persons: man, woman, girl, boy and recently + a baby. + \stopitem + \startitem + The grown ups can be combined in loving couples (either or not kissing) + and then can form families, but only upto 2 young kids or gender neutral + babies. + \stopitem + \startitem + All persons can be flagged with one of five skin tones so that not all + persons (or heads) look bright yellow. + \stopitem + \startitem + Interesting is that girls and boys are still fond of magenta (pinkish) + and cyan (blueish) cloths and ornaments. Also haircuts are rather + specific to the gender. + \stopitem +\stopitemize + +For rendering color emojis we have a few color related \OPENTYPE\ font properties +available: bitmaps, \SVG\, and stacked glyphs. Now, if you think of the +combinations that can be made with skin tones, you realize that fonts can become +pretty large if each combination results in a glyph. In the first half of 2017 +\MICROSOFT\ released an update for its emoji font and the company took the +challenge to provide not only mixed skin tone couples, but also supported skin +tones for the kids, including a baby. + +This recent addition already adds over 25.000 additional glyphs \footnote {That +is the amount I counted when I added all combinations runtime but the emojipedia +mentions twice that amount. Currently in \CONTEXT\ we resolve such combinations +when requested.} so imagine what will happen in the future. But, instead of +making a picture for each variant, a different solution has been chosen. For +coloring this seguiemj font uses the (very flexible) stacking technology: a color +shape is an overlay of colored symbols. The colors are organized in pallets and +it's no big deal to add additional pallets if needed. Instead of adding +pre|-|composed shapes (as is needed with bitmaps and \SVG) snippets are used to +build alternative glyphs and these can be combined into new shapes by +substitution and positioning (for that kerns, mark anchoring and distance +compensation is used). + +So, a family can be constructed of composed shapes (man, woman, etc) that each +are composed of snippets (skull, hair, mouth, eyes). So, effectively a family of +four is a bunch of maybe 25 small glyphs overlayed and colored. In \in {figure} +[fig:emojisnippets] we see how a shape is constructed out of separate glyphs. \in +{Figure} [fig:emojisnippetsoverlay] shows how they can be overlayed with colors +(we use a dedicated color set). + +\startplacefigure[title={Emoji snippets.},reference=fig:emojisnippets] + \scale[width=\textwidth]{\framed[frame=off,offset=overlay,align=normal]\bgroup + \forgetall + \MyEmoji + \ShowEmojiSnippets + [family man light skin tone + woman dark skin tone + girl medium skin tone + boy medium skin tone] + \egroup} +\stopplacefigure + +\startplacefigure[title={Emoji snippets overlayed.},reference=fig:emojisnippetsoverlay] + \scale[width=\textwidth]{\framed[frame=off,offset=overlay,align=normal]\bgroup + \forgetall + \MyEmoji + \ShowEmojiSnippetsOverlay + [family man light skin tone + woman dark skin tone + girl medium skin tone + boy medium skin tone] + \egroup} +\stopplacefigure + +When a font supports it, a sequence of emoji can be turned into a more compact +representation.

For sure, outlines are best if you want to + scale too. +\stopitem +\startitem + How efficient is a shape constructed. In that respect a bitmap or \SVG\ image + is just one entity. +\stopitem +\startitem + How well can (semi) arbitrary combinations of emoji be provided. Here the + glyph approach wins. +\stopitem +\startitem + Are all skin colors for all human relates shapes supported? Actually it opens + the possibility for racist fonts. +\stopitem +\startitem + Are all reasonable combinations of persons supported? It looks like (depending + on time and version) kissing men or women can be missing, maybe because of + social political reasons. +\stopitem +\startitem + Are black and white shapes provided alongside color shapes. +\stopitem +\stopitemize + +Maybe an \SVG\ or bitmap image can have a lot of detail compared to a stacked +glyph but, when we're just using pictographic representations, the later is the +best choice. + +When I was playing a bit with the skin tone variants and other combinations that +should result in some composed shape, I used the \UNICODE\ test files but I got +the impression that there are some errors in the test suite, for instance with +respect to modifiers. Maybe the fonts are just doing the wrong thing or maybe +some implement these sequences a bit inconsistent. This will probably improve +over time but the question is if we should intercept issues. I'm not in favour of +this because it adds more and more fuzzy code that not only wastes cycles +(energy) but is also a conceptual horror. So, when testing, imperfection has to +be accepted for now. This is no big deal as until now no one ever asked for emoji +support in \CONTEXT. + +When no combined shape is provided, the original sequence shows up. A side effect +can be that zero|-|width|-| joiners and modifiers become visible. This depends on +the fonts. Users probably don't care that much about it. Now how do we suppose +that users enter these emoji (sequences) in a document source? One can imagine a +pop up in the editor but \TEX ies are often using commands for special cases. + +We already showed some combined shapes. The reader might appreciate the outcome +but getting there from the input takes a bit of work. For instance a two person +\typ {man light skin tone woman medium skin tone girl medium-light skin tone baby +medium-light skin tone} involves this: + +\blank +\start + \setupalign[verytolerant] + \showotfcomposition + {seguiemj*seguiemj-cl} + {1} + {\resolvedemoji{family + man light skin tone + woman medium skin tone + girl medium-light skin tone + baby medium-light skin tone}} +\stop +\blank + +A black and white example is the following \type {family woman girl}: + +\blank +\start + \setupalign[verytolerant] + \showotfcomposition + {seguiemj*seguiemj-bw} + {1} + {\resolvedemoji{family woman girl}} +\stop +\blank + +I will not show all emoji, just the subset that contains the word \type {woman} +in the description. As you can see the persons in the sequences are separated by +a zero|-|width|-|joiner. There are some curious ones, for instance a \typ {woman +wearing turban} which in terms of \UNICODE\ input is a female combine with a +turban wearing man becomes a beardless woman wearing a turban.

The main +motivation for them playing with that was that it provides a way to compare the +\LUA\ based font machinery with other methods. They also assumed that it would +give a better performance for complex fonts and|/|or scripts. + +One of the guiding principles of \LUATEX\ development is that we don't provide +hard coded solutions. For that reason we opened up the internals so that one can +provide solutions written in pure \LUA, but, of course, one can cooperate with +libraries via \LUA\ code as well. Hard coding solutions makes no sense as there +are often several solutions possible, depending on one's need. Although +development is closely related to \CONTEXT, the development of the \LUATEX\ +engine is generic. We try to be macro package agnostic. Already in an early stage +we made sure that the \CONTEXT\ font handler could be used in other packages as +well, but one can easily dream up light weight variants for specific purposes. +The standard \TEX\ font handling was kept and is called \type {base} mode in +\CONTEXT. The \LUA\ variant is tagged \type {node} mode because it operates on +the node list. Later we will refer to these modes. + +With the output of \XETEX\ for comparison, the first motive mentioned for looking +into support for such a library is not that strong. And when we want to test +against the standard, we can use MS-Word. A minimal \CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ installation +one only has the \LUATEX\ engine. Maintaining several renderers simultaneously +might give rise to unwanted dependencies. + +The second motive could be more valid for users because, for complex fonts, there +is|=|or at least was|=|a performance hit with the \LUA\ variant. Some fonts use +many lookup steps or are inefficient even in using their own features. It must be +said that till now I haven't heard \CONTEXT\ users complain about speed. In fact, +the font handling became many times faster the last few years, and probably no +one even noticed. Also, when using alternatives to the built in methods, in the +end, you will loose functionality and|/|or interactions with other mechanisms +that are built into the current font system. Any possible gain in speed is lost, +or even becomes negative, when a user wants to use additional functionality that +requires additional processing. \footnote {In general we try to stay away from +libraries. For instance, graphics can be manipulated with external programs, and +caching the result is much more efficient than recreating it. Apart from \SQL\ +support, where integration makes sense, I never felt the need for libraries. And +even \SQL\ can efficiently be dealt with via intermediate files.} + +Just kicking in some alternative machinery is not the whole story. We still need +to deal with the way \TEX\ sees text, and that, in practice, is as a sequence of +glyph nodes|=|mixed with discretionaries for languages that hyphenate, glue, +kern, boxes, math, and more. It's the discretionary part that makes it a bit +complex. In contextual analysis as well as positioning one needs to process up to +three additional cases: the pre, post and replace texts|=|either or not linked +backward and forward. And as applied features accumulate one ends up winding and +unwinding these snippets. In the process one also needs to keep an eye on spaces +as they can be involved in lookups. Also, when injecting or removing glyphs one +needs to deal with attributes associated with nodes. Of course something hard +codes in the engine might help a little, but then one ends up with the situation +where macro packages have different demands (and possible interactions) and no +solution is the right one. Using \LUA\ as glue is a way to avoid that problem. In +fact, once we go along that route, it starts making sense to come up with a +stripped down \LUATEX\ that might suit \CONTEXT\ better, but it's not a route we +are eager to follow right now. + +Kai and Ivo are plain \TEX\ users so they use a font definition and switching +environment that is quite different from \CONTEXT. In an average \CONTEXT\ run +the time spent on font processing is measurable but not the main bottleneck +because other time consuming things happen. Sometimes the load on the font +subsystem can be higher because we provide additional features normally not found +in \OPENTYPE. Add to that a more dynamic font model and it will be clear that +comparing performance between situations that use different macro packages is not +that trivial (or relevant). + +More reasons why we follow a \LUA\ route are that we: support (run time +generated) virtual fonts, are able to kick in additional features, can let the +font mechanism cooperate with other functionality, and so on. In the upcoming +years more trickery will be provided in the current mechanisms. Because we had to +figure out a lot of these \OPENTYPE\ things a decade ago when standards were +fuzzy quite some tracing and visualization is available. Below we will see some +timings, It's important to keep in mind that in \CONTEXT\ the \OPENTYPE\ font +handler can do a bit more if requested to do so, which comes with a bit of +overhead when the handler is used in \CONTEXT|=|something we can live with. + +Some time after Kai's presentation he produced an article, and that was the +moment I looked into the code and tried to replicate his experiments. Because +we're talking libraries, one can understand that this is not entirely trivial, +especially because I'm on another platform than he is|=|Windows instead of OSX. +The first thing that I did was rewrite the code that glues the library to \TEX\ +in a way that is more suitable for \CONTEXT. Mixing with existing modes (\type +{base} or \type {node} mode) makes no sense and is asking for unwanted +interferences, so instead a new \type {plug} mode was introduced. A sort of +general text filtering mechanism was derived from the original code so that we +can plug in whatever we want. After all, stability is not the strongest point of +today's software development, so when we depend on a library, we need to be +prepared for other (library based) solutions|=|for instance, if I understood +correctly, \XETEX\ switched a few times. + +After redoing the code the next step was to get the library running and I decided +that the \type {ffi} route made most sense. \footnote {One can think of a +intermediate layer but I'm pretty sure that I have different demands than others, +but \type {ffi} sort of frees us from endless discussions.} Due to some expected +functions not being supported, my efforts in using the library failed. At that +time I thought it was a matter of interfacing, but I could get around it by +piping into the command line tools that come with the library, and that was good +enough for testing. Of course it was dead slow, but the main objective was +comparison of rendering so it doesn't matter that much. After that I just quit +and moved on to something else. + +At some point Kai's article came close to publishing, and I tried the old code +again, and, surprise, after some messing around, the library worked. On my system +the one shipped with Inkscape is used, which is okay as it frees me from bothering +about installations. As already mentioned, we have no real reason in \CONTEXT\ +for using fonts libraries, but the interesting part was that it permitted me to +play with this so called \type {ffi}. At that moment it was only available in +\LUAJITTEX\. Because that creates a nasty dependency, after a while, Luigi +Scarso and I managed to get a similar library working in stock \LUATEX\, which is +of course the reference. So, I decided to give it a second try, and in the process +I rewrote the interfacing code. After all, there is no reason not to be nice for +libraries and optimize the interface where possible. + +Now, after a decade of writing \LUA\ code, I dare to claim that I know a bit +about how to write relatively fast code. I was surprised to see that where Kai +claimed that the library was faster than the \LUA\ code.I saw that it really +depends on the font. Sometimes the library approach is actually slower, which is +not what one expects. But remember that one argument for using a library is for +complex fonts and scripts. So what is meant with complex? + +Most Latin fonts are not complex|=|ligatures and kerns and maybe a little bit of +contextual analysis. Here the \LUA\ variant is the clear winner. It runs upto ten +times faster. For more complex Latin fonts, like EBgaramond, that resolves +ligatures in a different way, the library catches up, but still the \LUA\ handler +is faster. Keep in mind that we need to juggle discretionary nodes in any case. +One difference between both methods is that the \LUA\ handler runs over all the +lists (although it has to jump over fonts not being processed then), while the +library gets snippets. However, tests show that the overhead involved in that is +close to zero and can be neglected. Already long ago we saw that when we compared +\MKIV\ \LUATEX\ and \MKII\ \XETEX, the \LUA\ based font handler is not that slow +at all. This makes sense because the problem doesn't change, and maybe more +importantly because \LUA\ is a pretty fast language. If one or the other approach +is less that two times faster the gain will probably go unnoticed in real runs. +In my experience a few bad choices in macro or style writing is more harmful than +a bit slower font machinery. Kick in some additional node processing and it might +make comparison of a run even harder. By the way, one reason why font handling +has been sped up over the years is because our workflows sometimes have a high +load, and, for instance, processing a set of 5 documents remotely has to be fast. +Also, in an edit workflow you want the runtime to be a bit comfortable. + +Contrary to Latin, a pure Arabic text (normally) has no discretionary nodes, and +the library profits most of this. Some day I have to pick up the thread with +Idris about the potential use of discretionary nodes in Arabic typesetting. +Contrary to Arabic, Latin text has not many replacements and positioning, and, +therefore, the \LUA\ variant gets the advantage. Some of the additional features +that the \LUA\ variant provides can, of course, be provided for the library +variant by adding some pre- and postprocessing of the list, but then you quickly +loose any gain a library provides. So, Arabic has less complex node lists with no +branches into discretinaries, but it definitely has more replacements, +positioning and contextual lookups due to the many calls to helpers in the \LUA\ +code. Here the library should win because it can (I assume) use more optimized +datastructures. + +In Kai's prototype there are some cheats for right|-|to|-|left rendering and +special scripts like Devanagari. As these tweaks mostly involve discretionary +nodes; there is no real need for them. When we don't hyphenate no time is wasted +anyway. I didn't test Devanagari, but there is some preprocessing needed in the +\LUA\ variant (provided by Kai and Ivo) that I might rewrite from scratch once I +understand what happens there. But still, I expect the library to perform +somewhat better there but I didn't test it. Eventually I might add support for +some more scripts that demand special treatments, but so far there has not been +any request for it. + +So what is the processing speed of non|-|Latin scripts? An experiment with Arabic +using the frequently used Arabtype font showed that the library performs faster, +but when we use a mixed Latin and Arabic document the differences become less +significant. On pure Latin documents the \LUA\ variant will probably win. On pure +Arabic the library might be on top. On average there is little difference in +processing speed between the \LUA\ and library engines when processing mixed +documents. The main question is, does one want to loose functionality provided by +the \LUA\ variant? Of course one can depend on functionality provided by the +library but not by the \LUA\ variant. In the end the user decides. + +How did we measure? The baseline measurement is the so called \type {none} mode: +nothing is done there. It's fast but still takes a bit of time as it is triggered +by a general mode identifying pass. That pass determines what font processing +modes are needed for a list. \type {Base} mode only makes sense for Latin and has +some limitations. It's fast and, basically, its run time can be neglected. That's +why, for instance, \PDFTEX\ is faster than the other engines, but it doesn't do +\UNICODE\ well. \type {Node} mode is the fancy name for the \LUA\ font handler. +So, in order of increasing run time we have: \type {none}, \type {base} and \type +{node}. If we compare \type{node} mode with \type {plug} mode (in our case using +the hb library), we can subtract \type {none} mode. This gives a cleaner (more +distinctive) comparison but not a real honest one because the identifying pass +always happens. + +We also tested with and without hyphenation, but in practice that makes no sense. +Only verbatim is typeset that way, and normally we typeset that in \type {none} +mode anyway. On the other hand mixing fonts does happen. All the tests start with +forced garbage collection in order to get rid of that variance. We also pack into +horizontal boxes so that the par builder (with all kind of associated callbacks) +doesn't kick in, although the \type {node} mode should compensate that. + +Keep in mind that the tests are somewhat dumb. There is no overhead in handling +structure, building pages, adding color or whatever. I never process raw text. As +a reference it's no problem to let \CONTEXT\ process hundreds of pages per +second. In practice a moderate complex document like the metafun manual does some +20 pages per second. In other words, only a fraction of the time is spent on +fonts. The timings for \LUATEX\ are as follows: + +\usemodule[m-fonts-plugins] + +\startluacode + local process = moduledata.plugins.processlist + local data = table.load("m-fonts-plugins-timings-luatex.lua") + or table.load("t:/sources/m-fonts-plugins-timings-luatex.lua") + + context.testpage { 6 } + context.subsubject("luatex latin") + process(data.timings.latin) + context.testpage { 6 } + context.subsubject("luatex arabic") + process(data.timings.arabic) + context.testpage { 6 } + context.subsubject("luatex mixed") + process(data.timings.mixed) +\stopluacode + +The timings for \LUAJITTEX\ are, of course, overall better. This is because the +virtual machine is faster, but at the cost of some limitations. We seldom run +into these limitations, but fonts with large tables can't be cached unless we +rewrite some code and sacrifice clean solutions. Instead, we perform a runtime +conversion which is not that noticeable when it's just a few fonts. The numbers +below are not influenced by this as the test stays away from these rare cases. + +\startluacode + local process = moduledata.plugins.processlist + local data = table.load("m-fonts-plugins-timings-luajittex.lua") + or table.load("t:/sources/m-fonts-plugins-timings-luajittex.lua") + + context.testpage { 6 } + context.subsubject("luajittex latin") + process(data.timings.latin) + context.testpage { 6 } + context.subsubject("luajittex arabic") + process(data.timings.arabic) + context.testpage { 6 } + context.subsubject("luajittex mixed") + process(data.timings.mixed) +\stopluacode + +A few side notes. Since a library is an abstraction, one has to live with what +one gets. In my case that was a crash in \UTF-32 mode. I could get around it, but +one advantage of using \LUA\ is that it's hard to crash|=|if only because as a +scripting language it manages its memory well without user interference. My +policy with libraries is just to wait till things get fixed and not bother with +the why and how of the internals. + +Although \CONTEXT\ will officially support the \type {plug} model, it will not be +actively used by me, or in documentation, so for support users are on their own. +I didn't test the \type {plug} mode in real documents. Most documents that I +process are Latin (or a mix), and redefining feature sets or adapting styles for +testing makes no sense. So, can one just switch engines without looking at the +way a font is defined? The answer is|=|not really, because (even without the user +knowing about it) virtual fonts might be used, additional features kicked in and +other mechanisms can make assumptions about how fonts are dealt with too. + +The useability of \type {plug} mode probably depends on the workflow one has. We +use \CONTEXT\ in a few very specific workflows where, interestingly, we only use a +small subset of its functionality. Most of which is driven by users, and tweaking +fonts is popular and has resulted in all kind of mechanisms. So, for us it's +unlikely that we will use it. If you process (in bursts) many documents in +succession, each demanding a few runs, you don't want to sacrifice speed. + +Of course timing can (and likely will) be different for plain \TEX\ and \LATEX\ +usage. It depends on how mechanisms are hooked into the callbacks, what extra +work is done or not done compared to \CONTEXT. This means that my timings for +\CONTEXT\ for sure will differ from those of other packages. Timings are a +snapshot anyway. And as said, font processing is just one of the many things that +goes on. If you are not using \CONTEXT\ you probably will use Kai's version +because it is adapted to his use case and well tested. + +A fundamental difference between the two approaches is that|=|whereas the \LUA\ +variant operates on node lists only, the \type {plug} variant generates strings +that get passed to a library where, in the \CONTEXT\ variant of hb support, we +use \UTF-32 strings. Interesting, a couple of years ago I considered using a +similar method for \LUA\ but eventually decided against it, first of all for +performance reasons, but mostly because one still has to use some linked list +model. I might pick up that idea as a variant, but because all this \TEX\ related +development doesn't really pay off and costs a lot of free time it will probably +never happen. + +I finish with a few words on how to use the plug model. Because the library +initializes a default set of features,\footnote {Somehow passing features to the +library fails for Arabic.

The font engine can decide to turn this word +into a disc node with a pre, post and replace text. Of course the machinery will +try to retain as many hyphenation points as possible. Among the tricky parts of +this are lookups across and inside discretionary nodes resulting in (optional) +replacements and kerning. You can imagine that there is some trade off between +performance and quality here. The results are normally acceptable, especially +because \TEX\ is so clever in breaking paragraphs into lines. + +Using this mechanism (there might be variants in the future) permits the user to +cook up special solutions. After all, that is what \LUATEX\ is about|=|the +traditional core engine with the ability to plug in your own code using \LUA. +This is just an example of it. + +I'm not sure yet when the plugin mechanism will be in the \CONTEXT\ distribution, +but it might happen once the \type {ffi} library is supported in \LUATEX. At the +end of this document the basics of the test setup are shown, just in case you +wonder what the numbers apply to. + +Just to put things in perspective, the current (February 2017) \METAFUN\ manual +has 424 pages. It takes \LUATEX\ 18.3 seconds and \LUAJITTEX\ 14.4 seconds on my +Dell 7600 laptop with 3840QM mobile i7 processor. Of this 6.1 (4.5) seconds is +used for processing 2170 \METAPOST\ graphics. Loading the 15 fonts used takes +0.25 (0.3) seconds, which includes also loading the outline of some. Font +handling is part of the, so called, hlist processing and takes around 1 (0.5) +second, and attribute backend processing takes 0.7 (0.3) seconds. One problem in +these timings is that font processing often goes too fast for timing, especially +when we have lots of small snippets. For example, short runs like titles and such +take no time at all, and verbatim needs no font processing. The difference in +runtime between \LUATEX\ and \LUAJITTEX\ is significant so we can safely assume +that we spend some more time on fonts than reported. Even if we add a few +seconds, in this rather complete document, the time spent on fonts is still not +that impressive. A five fold increase in processing (we use mostly Pagella and +Dejavu) is a significant addition to the total run time, especially if you need a +few runs to get cross referencing etc.\ right. + +The test files are the familiar ones present in the distribution. The \type +{tufte} example is a good torture test for discretionary processing. We preload +the files so that we don't have the overhead of \type {\input}. + +\starttyping +\edef\tufte{\cldloadfile{tufte.tex}} +\edef\khatt{\cldloadfile{khatt-ar.tex}} +\stoptyping + +We use six buffers for the tests.

No, it's +because it gives them some ammunition against the occasionally occurring nagging +about the speed of \LUATEX\ (somewhere on the web or at some meeting). My +experience is that in most such cases those complaining have no clue what they're +talking about, so effectively we could just ignore them, but let's, for the sake +of our users, waste some words on the issue. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=What performance] + +So what exactly does performance refer to? If you use \CONTEXT\ there are +probably only two things that matter: + +\startitemize[packed] +\startitem How long does one run take. \stopitem +\startitem How many runs do I need. \stopitem +\stopitemize + +Processing speed is reported at the end of a run in terms of seconds spent on the +run, but also in pages per second. The runtime is made up out of three +components: + +\startitemize[packed] +\startitem start-up time \stopitem +\startitem processing pages \stopitem +\startitem finishing the document \stopitem +\stopitemize + +The startup time is rather constant. Let's take my 2013 Dell Precision with +i7-3840QM as reference. A simple + +\starttyping +\starttext +\stoptext +\stoptyping + +document reports 0.4 seconds but as we wrap the run in an \type {mtxrun} +management run we have an additional 0.3 overhead (auxiliary file handling, \PDF\ +viewer management, etc). This includes loading the Latin Modern font. With +\LUAJITTEX\ these times are below 0.3 and 0.2 seconds. It might look like much +overhead but in an edit|-|preview runs it feels snappy. One can try this: + +\starttyping +\stoptext +\stoptyping + +which bring down the time to about 0.2 seconds for both engines but as it doesn't +do anything useful that is is no practice. + +Finishing a document is not that demanding because most gets flushed as we go. +The more (large) fonts we use, the longer it takes to finish a document but on +the average that time is not worth noticing. The main runtime contribution comes +from processing the pages. + +Okay, this is not always true. For instance, if we process a 400 page book from +2500 small \XML\ files with multiple graphics per page, there is a little +overhead in loading the files and constructing the \XML\ tree as well as in +inserting the graphics but in such cases one expects a few seconds more runtime. The +\METAFUN\ manual has some 450 pages with over 2500 runtime generated \METAPOST\ +graphics. It has color, uses quite some fonts, has lots of font switches +(verbatim too) but still one run takes only 18 seconds in stock \LUATEX\ and less +that 15 seconds with \LUAJITTEX. Keep these numbers in mind if a non|-|\CONTEXT\ +users barks against the performance tree that his few page mediocre document +takes 10 seconds to compile: the content, styling, quality of macros and whatever +one can come up with all plays a role. Personally I find any rate between 10 and +30 pages per second acceptable, and if I get the lower rate then I normally know +pretty well that the job is demanding in all kind of aspects. + +Over time the \CONTEXT||\LUATEX\ combination, in spite of the fact that more +functionality has been added, has not become slower. In fact, some subsystems +have been sped up. For instance font handling is very sensitive for adding +functionality. However, each version so far performed a bit better. Whenever some +neat new trickery was added, at the same time improvements were made thanks to +more insight in the matter. In practice we're not talking of changes in speed by +large factors but more by small percentages. I'm pretty sure that most \CONTEXT\ +users never noticed. Recently a 15\endash30\% speed up (in font handling) was +realized (for more complex fonts) but only when you use such complex fonts and +pages full of text you will see a positive impact on the whole run. + +There is one important factor I didn't mention yet: the efficiency of the +console. You can best check that by making a format (\typ {context --make en}). +When that is done by piping the messages to a file, it takes 3.2 seconds on my +laptop and about the same when done from the editor (\SCITE), maybe because the +\LUATEX\ run and the log pane run on a different thread. When I use the standard +console it takes 3.8 seconds in Windows 10 Creative update (in older versions it +took 4.3 and slightly less when using a console wrapper). The powershell takes +3.2 seconds which is the same as piping to a file. Interesting is that in Bash on +Windows it takes 2.8 seconds and 2.6 seconds when piped to a file. Normal runs +are somewhat slower, but it looks like the 64 bit Linux binary is somewhat faster +than the 64 bit mingw version. \footnote {Long ago we found that \LUATEX\ is very +sensitive to for instance the \CPU\ cache so maybe there are some differences due +to optimization flags and|/|or the fact that bash runs in one thread and all file +\IO\ in the main windows instance. Who knows.} Anyway, it demonstrates that when +someone yells a number you need to ask what the conditions where. + +At a \CONTEXT\ meeting there has been a presentation about possible speed|-|up of +a run for instance by using a separate syntax checker to prevent a useless run. +However, the use case concerned a document that took a minute on the machine +used, while the same document took a few seconds on mine. At the same meeting we +also did a comparison of speed for a \LATEX\ run using \PDFTEX\ and the same +document migrated to \CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ using \LUATEX\ (Harald K\"onigs \XML\ +torture and compatibility test). Contrary to what one might expect, the +\CONTEXT\ run was significantly faster; the resulting document was a few +gigabytes in size. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Bottlenecks] + +I will discuss a few potential bottlenecks next. A complex integrated system like +\CONTEXT\ has lots of components and some can be quite demanding. However, when +something is not used, it has no (or hardly any) impact on performance. Even when +we spend a lot of time in \LUA\ that is not the reason for a slow|-|down. +Sometimes using \LUA\ results in a speedup, sometimes it doesn't matter. Complex +mechanisms like natural tables for instance will not suddenly become less +complex. So, let's focus on the \quotation {aspects} that come up in those +complaints: fonts and \LUA. Because I only use \CONTEXT\ and occasionally test +with the plain \TEX\ version that we provide, I will not explore the potential +impact of using truckloads of packages, styles and such, which I'm sure of plays +a role, but one neglected in the discussion. + +\startsubsubject[title=Fonts] + +According to the principles of \LUATEX\ we process (\OPENTYPE) fonts using \LUA. +That way we have complete control over any aspect of font handling, and can, as +to be expected in \TEX\ systems, provide users what they need, now and in the +future. In fact, if we didn't had that freedom in \CONTEXT\ I'd probably already +quit using \TEX\ a decade ago and found myself some other (programming) niche. + +After a font is loaded, part of the data gets passed to the \TEX\ engine so that +it can do its work. For instance, in order to be able to typeset a paragraph, +\TEX\ needs to know the dimensions of glyphs. Once a font has been loaded +(that is, the binary blob) the next time it's fetched from a cache. Initial +loading (and preparation) takes some time, depending on the complexity or size of +the font. Loading from cache is close to instantaneous. After loading the +dimensions are passed to \TEX\ but all data remains accessible for any desired +usage. The \OPENTYPE\ feature processor for instance uses that data and \CONTEXT\ +for sure needs that data (fast accessible) for different purposes too. + +When a font is used in so called base mode, we let \TEX\ do the ligaturing and +kerning. This is possible with simple fonts and features. If you have a critical +workflow you might enable base mode, which can be done per font instance. +Processing in node mode takes some time but how much depends on the font and +script. Normally there is no difference between \CONTEXT\ and generic usage. In +\CONTEXT\ we also have dynamic features, and the impact on performance depends on +usage. In addition to base and node we also have plug mode but that is only used +for testing and therefore not advertised. + +Every \type {\hbox} and every paragraph goes through the font handler. Because +we support mixed modes, some analysis takes place, and because we do more in +\CONTEXT, the generic analyzer is more light weight, which again can mean that a +generic run is not slower than a similar \CONTEXT\ one. + +Interesting is that added functionality for variable and|/|or color fonts had no +impact on performance. Runtime added user features can have some impact but when +defined well it can be neglected. I bet that when you add additional node list +handling yourself, its impact on performance is larger. But in the end what +counts is that the job gets done and the more you demand the higher the price you +pay. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title=\LUA] + +The second possible bottleneck when using \LUATEX\ can be in using \LUA\ code. +However, using that as argument for slow runs is laughable. For instance +\CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ can easily spend half its time in \LUA\ and that is not making +it any slower than \MKII\ using \PDFTEX\ doing equally complex things. For +instance the embedded \METAPOST\ library makes \MKIV\ way faster than \MKII, and +the built|-|in \XML\ processing capabilities in \MKIV\ can easily beat \MKII\ +\XML\ handling, apart from the fact that it can do more, like filtering by path +and expression. In fact, files that take, say, half a minute in \MKIV, could as +well have taken 15 minutes or more in \MKII\ (and imagine multiple runs then). + +So, for \CONTEXT\ using \LUA\ to achieve its objectives is mandate. The +combination of \TEX, \METAPOST\ and \LUA\ is pretty powerful! Each of these +components is really fast. If \TEX\ is your bottleneck, review your macros! When +\LUA\ seems to be the bad, go over your code and make it better. Much of the +\LUA\ code I see flying around doesn't look that efficient, which is okay because +the interpreter is really fast, but don't blame \LUA\ beforehand, blame your +coding (style) first. When \METAPOST\ is the bottleneck, well, sometimes not much +can be done about it, but when you know that language well enough you can often +make it perform better. + +For the record: every additional mechanism that kicks in, like character spacing +(the ugly one), case treatments, special word and line trickery, marginal stuff, +graphics, line numbering, underlining, referencing, and a few dozen more will add +a bit to the processing time. In that case, in \CONTEXT, the font related runtime +gets pretty well obscured by other things happening, just that you know. + +\stopsubsubject + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Some timing] + +Next I will show some timings related to fonts. For this I use stock \LUATEX\ +(second column) as well as \LUAJITTEX\ (last column) which of course performs +much better. The timings are given in 3 decimals but often (within a set of runs) +and as the system load is normally consistent in a set of test runs the last two +decimals only matter in relative comparison. So, for comparing runs over time +round to the first decimal. Let's start with loading a bodyfont. This happens +once per document and normally one has only one bodyfont active. Loading involves +definitions as well as setting up math so a couple of fonts are actually loaded, +even if they're not used later on. A setup normally involves a serif, sans, mono, +and math setup (in \CONTEXT). \footnote {The timing for Latin Modern is so low +because that font is loaded already.} + +\environment onandon-speed-000 + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-000} % bodyfont + +There is a bit difference between the font sets but a safe average is 150 milli +seconds and this is rather constant over runs. + +An actual font switch can result in loading a font but this is a one time overhead. +Loading four variants (regular, bold, italic and bold italic) roughly takes the +following time: + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-001} % four variants + +Using them again later on takes no time: + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-002} % four variants + +Before we start timing the font handler, first a few baseline benchmarks are +shown. When no font is applied and nothing else is done with the node list we +get: + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-009} + +A simple monospaced, no features applied, run takes a bit more: + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-010} + +Now we show a one font typesetting run. As the two benchmarks before, we just +typeset a text in a \type {\hbox}, so no par builder interference happens. We use +the \type {sapolsky} sample text and typeset it 100 times 4 (either of not with +font switches). + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-003} + +Much more runtime is needed when we typeset with four font switches. The garamond +is most demanding. Actually we're not doing 4 fonts there because it has no bold, +so the numbers are a bit lower than expected for this example. One reason for it +being demanding is that it has lots of (contextual) lookups. The only comment I +can make about that is that it also depends on the strategies of the font +designer. Combining lookups saves space and time so complexity of a font is not +always a good predictor for performance hits. + +% \ShowSample{onandon-speed-004} + +If we typeset paragraphs we get this: + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-005} + +We're talking of some 275 pages here. + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-006} + +There is of course overhead in handling paragraphs and pages: + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-011} + +Before I discuss these numbers in more details two more benchmarks are +shown. The next table concerns a paragraph with only a few (bold) words. + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-007} + +The following table has paragraphs with a few mono spaced words +typeset using \type{\type}. + +\ShowSample{onandon-speed-008} + +When a node list (hbox or paragraph) is processed, each glyph is looked at. One +important property of \LUATEX\ (compared to \PDFTEX) is that it hyphenates the +whole text, not only the most feasible spots. For the \type {sapolsky} snippet +this results in 200 potential breakpoints, registered in an equal number of +discretionary nodes. The snippet has 688 characters grouped into 125 words and +because it's an English quote we're not hampered with composed characters or +complex script handling. And, when we mention 100 runs then we actually mean +400 ones when font switching and bodyfonts are compared + +\startnarrower + \showglyphs \showfontkerns + \input sapolsky \wordright{Robert M. Sapolsky} +\stopnarrower + +In order to get substitutions and positioning right we need not only to consult +streams of glyphs but also combinations with preceding pre or replace, or +trailing post and replace texts. When a font has a bit more complex substitutions, +as ebgaramond has, multiple (sometimes hundreds of) passes over the list are made. +This is why the more complex a font is, the more runtime is involved. + +Another factor, one you could easily deduce from the benchmarks, is intermediate +font switches. Even a few such switches (in the last benchmarks) already result +in a runtime penalty. The four switch benchmarks show an impressive increase of +runtime, but it's good to know that such a situation seldom happens. It's also +important not to confuse for instance a verbatim snippet with a bold one. The +bold one is indeed leading to a pass over the list, but verbatim is normally +skipped because it uses a font that needs no processing. That verbatim or bold +have the same penalty is mainly due to the fact that verbatim itself is costly: +the text is picked up using a different catcode regime and travels through \TEX\ +and \LUA\ before it finally gets typeset. This relates to special treatments of +spacing and syntax highlighting and such. + +Also keep in mind that the page examples are quite unreal. We use a layout with +no margins, just text from edge to edge. + +\placefigure + {\SampleTitle{onandon-speed-005}} + {\externalfigure[onandon-speed-005][frame=on,orientation=90,width=.45\textheight]} + +\placefigure + {\SampleTitle{onandon-speed-006}} + {\externalfigure[onandon-speed-006][frame=on,orientation=90,maxwidth=.45\textheight,maxheight=\textwidth]} + +\placefigure + {\SampleTitle{onandon-speed-007}} + {\externalfigure[onandon-speed-007][frame=on,orientation=90,width=.45\textheight]} + +\placefigure + {\SampleTitle{onandon-speed-008}} + {\externalfigure[onandon-speed-008][frame=on,orientation=90,width=.45\textheight]} + +\placefigure + {\SampleTitle{onandon-speed-011}} + {\externalfigure[onandon-speed-011][frame=on,orientation=90,width=.45\textheight]} + +So what is a realistic example? That is hard to say. Unfortunately no one ever +asked us to typeset novels. They are rather brain dead products for a machinery +so they process fast. On the mentioned laptop 350 word pages in Dejavu fonts can +be processed at a rate of 75 pages per second with \LUATEX\ and over 100 pages +per second with \LUAJITTEX . On a more modern laptop or professional server +performance is of course better. And for automated flows batch mode is your +friend. The rate is not much worse for a document in a language with a bit more +complex character handling, take accents or ligatures. Of course \PDFTEX\ is +faster on such a dumb document but kick in some more functionality and the +advantage quickly disappears. So, if someone complains that \LUATEX\ needs 10 or +more seconds for a simple few page document \unknown\ you can bet that when the +fonts are seen as reason, that the setup is pretty bad. Personally I'd not waste +time on such a complaint. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Valid questions] + +Here are some reasonable questions that you can ask when someone complains to you +about the slowness of \LUATEX: + +\startsubsubject[title={What engines do you compare?}] + +If you come from \PDFTEX\ you come from an 8~bit world: input and font handling +are based on bytes and hyphenation is integrated into the par builder. If you use +\UTF-8\ in \PDFTEX, the input is decoded by \TEX\ macros which carries a speed +penalty. Because in the wide engines macro names can also be \UTF\ sequences, +construction of macro names is less efficient too. + +When you try to use wide fonts, again there is a penalty. Now, if you use \XETEX\ +or \LUATEX\ your input is \UTF-8 which becomes something 32 bit internally. Fonts +are wide so more resources are needed, apart from these fonts being larger and in +need of more processing due to feature handling. Where \XETEX\ uses a library, +\LUATEX\ uses its own handler. Does that have a consequence for performance? Yes +and no. First of all it depends on how much time is spent on fonts at all, but +even then the difference is not that large. Sometimes \XETEX\ wins, sometimes +\LUATEX. One thing is clear: \LUATEX\ is more flexible as we can roll out our own +solutions and therefore do more advanced font magic. For \CONTEXT\ it doesn't +matter as we use \LUATEX\ exclusively and rely on the flexible font handler, also +for future extensions. If really needed you can kick in a library based handler +but it's (currently) not distributed as we loose other functionality which in +turn would result in complaints about that fact (apart from conflicting with the +strive for independence). + +There is no doubt that \PDFTEX\ is faster but for \CONTEXT\ it's an obsolete +engine. The hard coded solutions engine \XETEX\ is also not feasible for +\CONTEXT\ either. So, in practice \CONTEXT\ users have no choice: \LUATEX\ is +used, but users of other macro packages can use the alternatives if they are not +satisfied with performance. The fact that \CONTEXT\ users don't complain about +speed is a clear signal that this is no issue. And, if you want more speed you +can use \LUAJITTEX. \footnote {In plug mode we can actually test a library and +experiments have shown that performance on the average is much worse but it can +be a bit better for complex scripts, although a gain gets unnoticed in normal +documents. So, one can decide to use a library but at the cost of much other +functionality that \CONTEXT\ offers, so we don't support it.} In the last section +the different engines will be compared in more detail. + +Just that you know, when we do the four switches example in plain \TEX\ on my +laptop I get a rate of 40 pages per second, and for one font 180 pages per +second. There is of course a bit more going on in \CONTEXT\ in page building and +so, but the difference between plain and \CONTEXT\ is not that large. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title={What macro package is used?}] + +If the answer is that when plain \TEX\ is used, a follow up question is: what +variant? The \CONTEXT\ distribution ships with \type {luatex-plain} and that is +our benchmark. If there really is a bottleneck it is worth exploring. But keep in +mind that in order to be plain, not that much can be done. The \LUATEX\ part is +just an example of an implementation. We already discussed \CONTEXT, and for +\LATEX\ I don't want to speculate where performance hits might come from. When +we're talking fonts, \CONTEXT\ can actually a bit slower than the generic (or +\LATEX) variant because we can kick in more functionality. Also, when you compare +macro packages, keep in mind that when node list processing code is added in that +package the impact depends on interaction with other functionality and depends on +the efficiency of the code. You can't compare mechanisms or draw general +conclusions when you don't know what else is done! + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title={What do you load?}] + +Most \CONTEXT\ modules are small and load fast. Of course there can be exceptions +when we rely on third party code; for instance loading tikz takes a a bit of +time. It makes no sense to look for ways to speed that system up because it is +maintained elsewhere. There can probably be gained a bit but again, no user +complained so far. + +If \CONTEXT\ is not used, one probably also uses a large \TEX\ installations. +File lookup in \CONTEXT\ is done differently and can can be faster. Even loading +can be more efficient in \CONTEXT, but it's hard to generalize that conclusion. +If one complains about loading fonts being an issue, just try to measure how much +time is spent on loading other code. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title={Did you patch macros?}] + +Not everyone is a \TEX pert. So, coming up with macros that are expanded many +times and|/|or have inefficient user interfacing can have some impact. If someone +complains about one subsystem being slow, then honestly demands to complain about +other subsystems as well. You get what you ask for. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title={How efficient is the code that you use?}] + +Writing super efficient code only makes sense when it's used frequently. In +\CONTEXT\ most code is reasonable efficient. It can be that in one document fonts +are responsible for most runtime, but in another document table construction can +be more demanding while yet another document puts some stress on interactive +features. When hz or protrusion is enabled then you run substantially slower +anyway so when you are willing to sacrifice 10\% or more runtime don't complain +about other components. The same is true for enabling \SYNCTEX: if you are +willing to add more than 10\% runtime for that, don't wither about the same +amount for font handling. \footnote {In \CONTEXT\ we use a \SYNCTEX\ alternative +that is somewhat faster but it remains a fact that enabling more and more +functionality will make the penalty of for instance font processing relatively +small.} + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title={How efficient is the styling that you use?}] + +Probably the most easily overseen optimization is in switching fonts and color. +Although in \CONTEXT\ font switching is fast, I have no clue about it in other +macro packages. But in a style you can decide to use inefficient (massive) font +switches. The effects can easily be tested by commenting bit and pieces. For +instance sometimes you need to do a full bodyfont switch when changing a style, +like assigning \type {\small\bf} to the \type {style} key in \type {\setuphead}, +but often using e.g.\ \type {\tfd} is much more efficient and works quite as +well. Just try it. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title={Are fonts really the bottleneck?}] + +We already mentioned that one can look in the wrong direction. Maybe once someone +is convinced that fonts are the culprit, it gets hard to look at the real issue. +If a similar job in different macro packages has a significant different runtime +one can wonder what happens indeed. + +It is good to keep in mind that the amount of text is often not as large as you +think. It's easy to do a test with hundreds of paragraphs of text but in practice +we have whitespace, section titles, half empty pages, floats, itemize and similar +constructs, etc. Often we don't mix many fonts in the running text either. So, in +the end a real document is the best test. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title={If you use \LUA, is that code any good?}] + +You can gain from the faster virtual machine of \LUAJITTEX. Don't expect wonders +from the jitting as that only pays of for long runs with the same code used over +and over again. If the gain is high you can even wonder how well written your +\LUA\ code is anyway. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title={What if they don't believe you?}] + +So, say that someone finds \LUATEX\ slow, what can be done about it? Just advice +him or her to stick to tool used previously. Then, if arguments come that one +also wants to use \UTF-8, \OPENTYPE\ fonts, a bit of \METAPOST, and is looking +forward to using \LUA\ runtime, the only answer is: take it or leave it. You pay +a price for progress, but if you do your job well, the price is not that large. +Tell them to spend time on learning and maybe adapting and bark against their own +tree before barking against those who took that step a decade ago. Most \CONTEXT\ +users took that step and someone still using \LUATEX\ after a decade can't be +that stupid. It's always best to first wonder what one actually asks from \LUATEX, +and if the benefit of having \LUA\ on board has an advantage. If not, one can +just use another engine. + +Also think of this. When a job is slow, for me it's no problem to identify where +the problem is. The question then is: can something be done about it? Well, I +happily keep the answer for myself. After all, some people always need room to +complain, maybe if only to hide their ignorance or incompetence. Who knows. + +\stopsubsubject + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Comparing engines}] + +The next comparison is to be taken with a grain of salt and concerns the state of +affairs mid 2017. First of all, you cannot really compare \MKII\ with \MKIV: the +later has more functionality (or a more advanced implementation of +functionality). And as mentioned you can also not really compare \PDFTEX\ and the +wide engines. Anyway, here are some (useless) tests. First a bunch of loads. Keep +in mind that different engines also deal differently with reading files. For +instance \MKIV\ uses \LUATEX\ callbacks to normalize the input and has its own +readers. There is a bit more overhead in starting up a \LUATEX\ run and some +functionality is enabled that is not present in \MKII.

As +expected \PDFTEX\ wins on simple documents but starts loosing when things get +more complex. For these tests I used 64 bit binaries. A 32 bit \XETEX\ with +\MKII\ performs the same as \LUAJITTEX\ with \MKIV, but a 64 bit \XETEX\ is +actually quite a bit slower. In that case the mingw cross compiled \LUATEX\ +version does pretty well. A 64 bit \PDFTEX\ is also slower (it looks) that a 32 +bit version. So in the end, there are more factors that play a role. Choosing +between \LUATEX\ and \LUAJITTEX\ depends on how well the memory limited +\LUAJITTEX\ variant can handle your documents and fonts. + +Because in most of our recent styles we use \OPENTYPE\ fonts and (structural) +features as well as recent \METAFUN\ extensions only present in \MKIV\ we cannot +compare engines using such documents.

And if you use a lot of runtime \METAPOST\ graphics (for instance for +backgrounds), the \MKIV\ runs end up at the top. And when we process \XML\ it +will be clear that going back to \MKII\ is no longer a realistic option. It must +be noted that I occasionally manage to improve performance but we've now reached +a state where there is not that much to gain. Some functionality is hard to +compare. For instance in \CONTEXT\ we don't use much of the \PDF\ backend +features because we implement them all in \LUA. In fact, even in \MKII\ already a +done in \TEX, so in the end the speed difference there is not large and often in +favour of \MKIV. + +For the record I mention that shipping out the about 1250 pages has some overhead +too: about 2 seconds. Here \LUAJITTEX\ is 20\% more efficient which is an +indication of quite some \LUA\ involvement. Loading the input files has an +overhead of about half a second. Starting up \LUATEX\ takes more time that +\PDFTEX\ and \XETEX, but that disadvantage disappears with more pages. So, in the +end there are quite some factors that blur the measurements. In practice what +matters is convenience: does the runtime feel reasonable and in most cases it +does. + +If I would replace my laptop with a reasonable comparable alternative that one +would be some 35\% faster (single threads on processors don't gain much per year). +I guess that this is about the same increase in performance that \CONTEXT\ +\MKIV\ got in that period. I don't expect such a gain in the coming years so +at some point we're stuck with what we have. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Summary] + +So, how \quotation {slow} is \LUATEX\ really compared to the other engines? If we +go back in time to when the first wide engines showed up, \OMEGA\ was considered +to be slow, although I never tested that myself. Then, when \XETEX\ showed up, +there was not much talk about speed, just about the fact that we could use +\OPENTYPE\ fonts and native \UTF\ input. If you look at the numbers, for sure you +can say that it was much slower than \PDFTEX. So how come that some people +complain about \LUATEX\ being so slow, especially when we take into account that +it's not that much slower than \XETEX, and that \LUAJITTEX\ is often faster that +\XETEX. Also, computers have become faster. With the wide engines you get more +functionality and that comes at a price. This was accepted for \XETEX\ and is +also acceptable for \LUATEX. But the price is nto that high if you take into +account that hardware performs better: you just need to compare \LUATEX\ (and +\XETEX) runtime with \PDFTEX\ runtime 15 years ago. + +As a comparison, look at games and video. Resolution became much higher as did +color depth. Higher frame rates were in demand. Therefore the hardware had to +become faster and it did, and as a result the user experience kept up. No user +will say that a modern game is slower than an old one, because the old one does +500 frames per second compared to some 50 for the new game on the modern +hardware. In a similar fashion, the demands for typesetting became higher: +\UNICODE, \OPENTYPE, graphics, \XML, advanced \PDF, more complex (niche) +typesetting, etc. This happened more or less in parallel with computers becoming +more powerful. So, as with games, the user experience didn't degrade with +demands. Comparing \LUATEX\ with \PDFTEX\ is like comparing a low res, low frame +rate, low color game with a modern one. You need to have up to date hardware and +even then, the writer of such programs need to make sure it runs efficient, +simply because hardware no longer scales like it did decades ago. You need to +look at the larger picture. + +\stopsection + +\stopchapter + +\stopcomponent diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/onandon/onandon-seguiemj.pdf

Often quite some effort is made by +historians to figure out what really happened, not just long ago, when nothing +was written down and we have to do with stories or pictures at most, but also in +recent times. Descriptions can be conflicting, puzzling, incomplete, partially +lost, biased, \unknown + +Just as language was invented (or evolved) several times, so were scripts. The +same might be true for rendering scripts on a medium. Semaphores came and went +within decades and how many people know now that they existed and that encryption +was involved? Are the old printing presses truly the old ones, or are older +examples simply gone? One of the nice aspects of the internet is that one can now +more easily discover similar solutions for the same problem, but with a different +(and independent) origin. + +So, how about this \quotation {new big thing} in font technology: variable fonts. +In this case, history shows that it's not that new. For most \TEX\ users the +names \METAFONT\ and \METAPOST\ will ring bells. They have a very well documented +history so there is not much left to speculation. There are articles, books, +pictures, examples, sources, and more around for decades. So, the ability to +change the appearance of a glyph in a font depending on some parameters is not +new. What probably {\em is} new is that creating variable fonts is done in the +natural environment where fonts are designed: an interactive program. The +\METAFONT\ toolkit demands quite some insight in programming shapes in such a way +that one can change look and feel depending on parameters. There are not that +many meta fonts made and one reason is that making them requires a certain mind- +and skill set. On the other hand, faster computers, interactive programs, +evolving web technologies, where rea|l|-time rendering and therefore more or less +real-time tweaking of fonts is a realistic option, all play a role in acceptance. + +But do interactive font design programs make this easier? You still need to be +able to translate ideas into usable beautiful fonts. Taking the common shapes of +glyphs, defining extremes and letting a program calculate some interpolations +will not always bring good results. It's like morphing a picture of your baby's +face into yours of old age (or that of your grandparent): not all intermediate +results will look great. It's good to notice that variable fonts are a revival of +existing techniques and ideas used in, for instance, multiple master fonts. The +details might matter even more as they can now be exaggerated when some +transformation is applied. + +There is currently (March 2017) not much information about these fonts so what I +say next may be partially wrong or at least different from what is intended. The +perspective will be one from a \TEX\ user and coder. Whatever you think of them, +these fonts will be out there and for sure there will be nice examples +circulating soon. And so, when I ran into a few experimental fonts, with +\POSTSCRIPT\ and \TRUETYPE\ outlines, I decided to have a look at what is inside. +After all, because it's visual, it's also fun to play with. Let's stress that at +the moment of this writing I only have a few simple fonts available, fonts that +are designed for testing and not usage. Some recommended tables were missing and +no complex \OPENTYPE\ features are used in these fonts. + +\stopsubject + +\startsubject[title=The specification] + +I'm not that good at reading specifications, first of all because I quickly fall +asleep with such documents, but most of all because I prefer reading other stuff +(I do have lots of books waiting to be read). I'm also someone who has to play +with something in order to understand it: trial and error is my modus operandi. +Eventually it's my intended usage that drives the interface and that is when +everything comes together. + +Exploring this technology comes down to: locate a font, get the \OPENTYPE\ 1.8 +specification from the \MICROSOFT\ website, and try to figure out what is in the +font. When I had a rough idea the next step was to get to the shapes and see if I +could manipulate them. Of course it helped that in \CONTEXT\ we already can load +fonts and play with shapes (using \METAPOST). I didn't have to install and learn +other programs. Once I could render them, in this case by creating a virtual font +with inline \PDF\ literals, a next step was to apply variation. Then came the +first experiments with a possible user interface. Seeing more variation then +drove the exploration of additional properties needed for typesetting, like +features. + +The main extension to the data packaged in a font file concerns the (to be +discussed) axis along which variable fonts operate and deltas to be applied to +coordinates. The \type {gdef} table has been extended and contains information +that is used in \type {gpos} features. There are new \type {hvar}, \type {vvar} +and \type {mvar} tables that influence the horizontal, vertical and general font +dimensions. The \type {gvar} table is used for \TRUETYPE\ variants, while the +\type {cff2} table replaces the \type {cff} table for \OPENTYPE\ \POSTSCRIPT\ +outlines. The \type {avar} and \type {stat} tables contain some +meta|-|information about the axes of variations. + +It must be said that because this is new technology the information in the +standard is not always easy to understand. The fact that we have two rendering +techniques, \POSTSCRIPT\ \type {cff} and \TRUETYPE\ \type {ttf}, also means that +we have different information and perspectives. But this situation is not much +different from \OPENTYPE\ standards a few years ago: it takes time but in the end +I will get there. And, after all, users also complain about the lack of +documentation for \CONTEXT, so who am I to complain? In fact, it will be those +\CONTEXT\ users who will provide feedback and make the implementation better in +the~end. + +\stopsubject + +\startsubject[title=Loading] + +Before we discuss some details, it will be useful to summarize what the font +loader does when a user requests a font at a certain size and with specific +features enabled. When a font is used the first time, its binary format is +converted into a form that makes it suitable for use within \CONTEXT\ and +therefore \LUATEX. This conversion involves collecting properties of the font as +a whole (official names, general dimensions like x-height and em-width, etc.), of +glyphs (dimensions, \UNICODE\ properties, optional math properties), and all +kinds of information that relates to (contextual) replacements of glyphs (small +caps, oldstyle, scripts like Arabic) and positioning (kerning, anchoring marks, +etc.). In the \CONTEXT\ font loader this conversion is done in \LUA. + +The result is stored in a condensed format in a cache and the next time the font +is needed it loads in an instant. In the cached version the dimensions are +untouched, so a font at different sizes has just one copy in the cache. Often a +font is needed at several sizes and for each size we create a copy with scaled +glyph dimensions. The feature-related dimensions (kerning, anchoring, etc.)\ are +shared and scaled when needed. This happens when sequences of characters in the +node list get converted into sequences of glyphs. We could do the same with glyph +dimensions but one reason for having a scaled copy is that this copy can also +contain virtual glyphs and these have to be scaled beforehand. In practice there +are several layers of caching in order to keep the memory footprint within +reasonable bounds. \footnote {In retrospect one can wonder if that makes sense; +just look at how much memory a browser uses when it has been open for some time. +In the beginning of \LUATEX\ users wondered about caching fonts, but again, just +look at what amounts browsers cache: it gets pretty close to the average amount +of writes that a \SSD\ can handle per day within its guarantee.} + +When the font is actually used, interaction between characters is resolved using +the feature|-|related information. When for instance two characters need to be +kerned, a lookup results in the injection of a kern, scaled from general +dimensions to the current size of the font. + +When the outlines of glyphs are needed in \METAFUN\ the font is also converted +from its binary form to something in \LUA, but this time we filter the shapes. +For a \type {cff} this comes down to interpreting the \type {charstrings} and +reducing the complexity to \type {moveto}, \type {lineto} and \type {curveto} +operators. In the process subroutines are inlined. The result is something that +\METAPOST\ is happy with but that also can be turned into a piece of a \PDF. + +We now come to what a variable font actually is: a basic design which is +transformed along one or more axes. A simple example is wider shapes: + +\startlinecorrection +\startMPcode +for i=1 upto 4 : + fill fullsquare xyscaled (i*.5cm,1cm) shifted (i*2.5*cm,0) withcolor "darkgray"; + fill fullcircle xyscaled (2.5mm,2.5mm) shifted (i*2.5*cm,0) withcolor "lightgray" ; +endfor ; +\stopMPcode +\stoplinecorrection + +We can also go taller and retain the width: + +\startlinecorrection +\startMPcode +for i=1 upto 4 : + fill fullsquare xyscaled (1cm,i*.5cm) shifted (i*2.5*cm,0) withcolor "darkgray"; + fill fullcircle xyscaled (2.5mm,2.5mm) shifted (i*2.5*cm,0) withcolor "lightgray" ; +endfor ; +\stopMPcode +\stoplinecorrection + +Here we have a linear scaling but glyphs are not normally done that way. There +are font collections out there with lots of intermediate variants (say from light +to heavy) and it's more profitable to sell each variant independently. However, +there is often some logic behind it, probably supported by programs that +designers use, so why not build that logic into the font and have one file that +represents many intermediate forms. In fact, once we have multiple axes, even +when the designer has clear ideas of the intended usage, nothing will prevent +users from tinkering with the axis properties in ways that will fulfil their +demands but hurt the designers eyes. We will not discuss that dilemma here. + +When a variable font follows the route described above, we face a problem. When +you load a \TRUETYPE\ font it will just work. The glyphs are packaged in the same +format as static fonts. However, a variable font has axes and on each axis a +value can be set. Each axis has a minimum, maximum and default. It can be that +the default instance also assumes some transformations are applied. The standard +recommends adding tables to describe these things but the fonts that I played +with each lacked such tables. So that leaves some guesswork. But still, just +loading a \TRUETYPE\ font gives some sort of outcome, although the dimensions +(widths) might be weird due to lack of a (default) axis being applied. + +An \OPENTYPE\ font with \POSTSCRIPT\ outlines is different: the internal \type +{cff} format has been upgraded to \type {cff2} which on the one hand is less +complicated but on the other hand has a few new operators \emdash\ which results +in programs that have not been adapted complaining or simply quitting on them. + +One could argue that a font is just a resource and that one only has to pass it +along but that's not what works well in practice. Take \LUATEX. We can of course +load the font and apply axis vales so that we can process the document as we +normally do. But at some point we have to create a \PDF. We can simply embed the +\TRUETYPE\ files but no axis values are applied. This is because, even if we add +the relevant information, there is no way in current \PDF\ formats to deal with +it. For that, we should be able to pass all relevant axis|-|related information +as well as specify what values to use along these axes. And for \TRUETYPE\ fonts +this information is not part of the shape description so then we in fact need to +filter and pass more. An \OPENTYPE\ \POSTSCRIPT\ font is much cleaner because +there we have the information needed to transform the shape mostly in the glyph +description. There we only need to carry some extra information on how to apply +these so|-|called blend values. The region|/|axis model used there only demands +passing a relatively simple table (stripped down to what we need). But, as said +above, \type {cff2} is not backward-compatible so a viewer will (currently) +simply not show anything. + +Recalling how we load fonts, how does that translate with variable changes? If we +have two characters with glyphs that get transformed and that have a kern between +them, the kern may or may not transform. So, when we choose values on an axis, +then not only glyph properties change but also relations. We no longer can share +positional information and scale afterwards because each instance can have +different values to start with. We could carry all that information around and +apply it at runtime but because we're typesetting documents with a static design +it's more convenient to just apply it once and create an instance. We can use the +same caching as mentioned before but each chosen instance (provided by the font +or made up by user specifications) is kept in the cache. As a consequence, using +a variable font has no overhead, apart from initial caching. + +So, having dealt with that, how do we proceed? Processing a font is not different +from what we already had. However, I would not be surprised if users are not +always satisfied with, for instance, kerning, because in such fonts a lot of care +has to be given to this by the designer. Of course I can imagine that programs +used to create fonts deal with this, but even then, there is a visual aspect to +it too. The good news is that in \CONTEXT\ we can manipulate features so in +theory one can create a so|-|called font goodie file for a specific instance. + +\stopsubject + +\startsubject[title=Shapes] + +For \OPENTYPE\ \POSTSCRIPT\ shapes we always have to do a dummy rendering in +order to get the right bounding box information. For \TRUETYPE\ this information +is already present but not when we use a variable instance, so I had to do a bit +of coding for that. Here we face a problem. For \TEX\ we need the width, height +and depth of a glyph. Consider the following case: + +\startlinecorrection +\startMPcode +path p ; p := fullcircle xysized (3cm,2cm) ; +fill p + withcolor "lightgray" ; +draw boundingbox currentpicture + withpen pencircle scaled .5mm + withcolor "darkgray" ; +setbounds currentpicture to p ; +draw boundingbox currentpicture + leftenlarged 2mm rightenlarged 5mm ; +\stopMPcode +\stoplinecorrection + +The shape has a bounding box that fits the shape. However, its left corner is not +at the origin. So, when we calculate a tight bounding box, we cannot use it for +actually positioning the glyph. We do use it (for horizontal scripts) to get the +height and depth but for the width we depend on an explicit value. In \OPENTYPE\ +\POSTSCRIPT\ we have the width available and how the shape is positioned relative +to the origin doesn't much matter. In a \TRUETYPE\ shape a bounding box is part +of the specification, as is the width, but for a variable font one has to use +so-called phantom points to recalculate the width and the test fonts I had were +not suitable for investigating this. + +At any rate, once I could generate documents with typeset text using variable +fonts it became time to start thinking about a user interface. A variable font +can have predefined instances but of course a user also wants to mess with axis +values. Take one of the test fonts: Adobe Variable Font Prototype. It has several +instances: + +\unexpanded\def\SampleFont#1#2#3% + {\NC #2 + \NC \definedfont[name:#1#3*default]It looks like this! + \normalexpanded{\noexpand\NC\currentfontinstancespec} + \NC \NR} + +\starttabulate[|||T|] +\SampleFont {adobevariablefontprototype} {extralight} {extralight} +\SampleFont {adobevariablefontprototype} {light} {light} +\SampleFont {adobevariablefontprototype} {regular} {regular} +\SampleFont {adobevariablefontprototype} {semibold} {semibold} +\SampleFont {adobevariablefontprototype} {bold} {bold} +\SampleFont {adobevariablefontprototype} {black high contrast} {blackhighcontrast} +\SampleFont {adobevariablefontprototype} {black medium contrast} {blackmediumcontrast} +\SampleFont {adobevariablefontprototype} {black} {black} +\stoptabulate + +Such an instance is accessed with: + +\starttyping +\definefont + [MyLightFont] + [name:adobevariablefontprototypelight*default] +\stoptyping + +The Avenir Next variable demo font (currently) provides: + +\starttabulate[|||T|] +\SampleFont {avenirnextvariable} {regular} {regular} +\SampleFont {avenirnextvariable} {medium} {medium} +\SampleFont {avenirnextvariable} {bold} {bold} +\SampleFont {avenirnextvariable} {heavy} {heavy} +\SampleFont {avenirnextvariable} {condensed} {condensed} +\SampleFont {avenirnextvariable} {medium condensed} {mediumcondensed} +\SampleFont {avenirnextvariable} {bold condensed} {boldcondensed} +\SampleFont {avenirnextvariable} {heavy condensed} {heavycondensed} +\stoptabulate + +Before we continue I will show a few examples of variable shapes.

The crucial (control) points are moved to different locations +and as a result they can end up inside the shape. Giving up outlines is the price +we evidently need to pay. Of course this is not unique for variable fonts +although in practice static fonts behave better. To some extent we're back to +where we were with \METAFONT\ and (for instance) Computer Modern: because these +originate in bitmaps (and probably use similar design logic) we also can have +overlap and bits and pieces pasted together and no one will notice that.

For +instance not all values make sense. It is beyond the scope of this article, but +axes like weight, width, contrast and italic values get applied differently to +so|-|called regions (subspaces). So say that we have an $x$ coordinate with value +$50$. This value can be adapted in, for instance, four subspaces (regions), so we +actually get: + +\startformula + x^\prime = x + + s_1 \times x_1 + + s_2 \times x_2 + + s_3 \times x_3 + + s_4 \times x_4 +\stopformula + +The (here) four scale factors $s_n$ are determined by the axis value. Each axis +has some rules about how to map the values $230$ for weight and $50$ for contrast +to such a factor. And each region has its own translation from axis values to +these factors. The deltas $x_1,\dots,x_4$ are provided by the font. For a +\POSTSCRIPT|-|based font we find sequences like: + +\starttyping +1 <setvstore> +120 [10 -30 40 -60] 1 <blend> ... <operator> +100 120 [10 -30 40 -60] [30 -10 -30 20] 2 <blend> .. <operator> +\stoptyping + +A store refers to a region specification. From there the factors are calculated +using the chosen values on the axis. The deltas are part of the glyphs +specification. Officially there can be multiple region specifications, but how +likely it is that they will be used in real fonts is an open question. + +For \TRUETYPE\ fonts the deltas are not in the glyph specification but in a +dedicated \type {gvar} table. + +\starttyping +apply x deltas [10 -30 40 -60] to x 120 +apply y deltas [30 -10 -30 20] to y 100 +\stoptyping + +Here the deltas come from tables outside the glyph specification and their +application is triggered by a combination of axis values and regions. + +The following two examples use Avenir Next Variable and demonstrate that kerning +is adapted to the variant. + +\startbuffer +\definefontfeature + [default:shaped] + [default] + [axis={width:10}] + +\definefont + [SomeFont] + [file:avenirnextvariable*default:shaped] +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +\start \showglyphs \showfontkerns \SomeFont \input zapf \wordright{Hermann Zapf}\par \stop + +\startbuffer +\definefontfeature + [default:shaped] + [default] + [axis={width:100}] + +\definefont + [SomeFont] + [file:avenirnextvariable*default:shaped] +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \getbuffer + +\start \showglyphs \showfontkerns \SomeFont \input zapf \wordright{Hermann Zapf}\par \stop + +\stopsubject + +\startsubject[title=Embedding] + +Once we're done typesetting and a \PDF\ file has to be created there are three +possible routes: + +\startitemize + \startitem + We can embed the shapes as \PDF\ images (inline literal) using virtual + font technology.

A side effect of having a converter for both outline types meant that +it was trivial to create a virtual font at runtime. This option will stay in +\CONTEXT\ as pseudo|-|feature \type {variableshapes}. + +When trying to support variable fonts I tried to limit the impact on the backend +code. Also, processing features and such was not touched. The inclusion of the +right shapes is done via a callback that requests the blob to be injected in the +\type {cff} or \type {glyf} table. When implementing this I actually found out +that the \LUATEX\ backend also does some juggling of charstrings, to serve the +purpose of inlining subroutines. In retrospect I could have learned a few tricks +faster by looking at that code but I never realized that it was there. Looking at +the code again, it strikes me that the whole inclusion could be done with \LUA\ +code and some day I will give that a try. + +\stopsubject + +\startsubject[title=Conclusion] + +When I first heard about variable fonts I was confident that when they showed up +they could be supported. Of course a specimen was needed to prove this. A first +implementation demonstrates that indeed it's no big deal to let \CONTEXT\ with +\LUATEX\ handle such fonts. Of course we need to fill in some gaps which can be +done once we have complete fonts. And then of course users will demand more +control. In the meantime the helper script that deals with identifying fonts by +name has been extended and the relevant code has been added to the distribution. +At some point the \CONTEXT\ Garden will provide the \LUATEX\ binary that has the +callback. + +I end with a warning. On the one hand this technology looks promising but on the +other hand one can easily get lost. Probably most such fonts operate over a +well|-|defined domain of values but even then one should be aware of complex +interactions with features like positioning or replacements. Not all combinations +can be tested.

\placelist[chapter] + +\stoptitle + +\startchapter[title=Introduction] + +{\em This manual as well as the mechanism it describes is under construction. Don't +use page columns in production. Experimenting is of course fine.} + +The \TEX\ engine is a progressive typesetter: it takes input and does something +with it and can do that for quite a while. It can process massive input and +produce massive output. In that process it never looks back. Now, it is of course +possible to collect content and delay some aspects of the rendering but to what +extent that content can be manipulated is limited. In \LUATEX\ one can do a bit +more but even then the basic typesetting process is mostly linear. + +When a text gets typeset there are several properties that play a role: + +\startitemize +\startitem + the width of the lines in a paragraph which is the main unit of processing +\stopitem +\startitem + the target height of what gets output, normally this is the height of the + text area, excluding headers and footers +\stopitem +\startitem + the parameters that determine when the so called output routine gets called, + for instance successive broken lines, widow and club penalties +\stopitem +\startitem + the presence of so called inserts, for instance footnotes or floating bodies +\stopitem +\startitem + the space between lines and paragraphs +\stopitem +\startitem + explicitly entered elements or spacing or injected by macros hooked into for + instance \type {\everypar} +\stopitem +\stopitemize + +It is important to realize that \TEX\ has no concept of what a page is. It takes +input and occasionally hand over the intermediate result to the output routine. +There decisions are made to flush out a page, either of not with ornaments like +headers, footers, content left over from previous encounters, footnotes as well +as maybe specific trickery liked by the backend that targets at some viewer. + +That said, so called multi|-|column layouts are {\em not} part of the concepts +present in \TEX. As far as the engine is concerned there is only one column. +Among the reasons for not having a native mechanism for columns is that it is +very hard to come up with a mechanism for splitting them in ways that suits +everybody. In fact, the amount of control needed would make such a mechanism very +complex and still limited. You can compare this to math typesetting. That +subspace has some fixed characteristics if only because otherwise mathematicians +could not communicate. However, there is some control over spacing and one can to +some extend intervene. In \LUATEX\ some of the hard coded properties are made +configureable but still one gets pretty much what the engine considers right. +Such an approach would not work with columns. In fact, it doesn't even work well +with tables, for which \TEX\ provides the alignment mechanism: different kind of +tables demand different solutions, which is why in \CONTEXT\ we have old +fashioned tables, tabulated tables (that span pages and can contain paragraphs), +natural as well as extreme tables that resemble \HTML\ tables, line tables and +framed tables. + +So, when we want to support columns we need to write something in \TEX\ lingua +and for that the \type {\vsplit} operation can be of help. So far we have in +\CONTEXT\ four mechanisms: + +\startitemize[n] +\startitem + the original \MKII\ mechanism that permits mixed single and multi|-|column + text flows, with limited support for floating bodies +\stopitem +\startitem + a reimplementation of mixed columns in a mix of \TEX\ and \LUA, a bit better + with balancing and penalties for keeping section heads with the text, but + with very limited support for floating bodies; it works ok with grids +\stopitem +\startitem + a reimplementation of \MKII\ columnsets, a mechanism that is meant for + magazine like layouts where floats can span columns and positioned at will: + this one assumes relative simple text flows but as a bonus provides spreads; + this one is strongly grid based +\stopitem +\startitem + page based columns, where we use the normal (single column) page builder to + collect columns that then get combined into a page: this one is quite robust + but one has to keep an eye on floats as we don't span across columns + otherwise than in top or bottom floats but, on the other hand, one can use so + called side floats; this one is still experimental +\stopitem +\stopitemize + +Given specific demands one can come up with alternatives but it's very hard to +combine all demands into one mechanismn simply because anything can be part of +the text flow. Because it is not much fun to write such mechanisms and because +no project ever pays for fundamental development, one just has to accept what +\CONTEXT\ provides, be it with limitations. + +The first mechanism is more or less obsolete and replaced by the second. For +instance, we now use the second one when we have an itemize that demands columns. +I must admit that I don't like columns and never use them. I was involved in +projects where the designer wanted columns but in the end the complexity of the +content didn't work well with that that decision: inconsistent whitespace (due to +many small sections, lots of images, many tables, math formulas, etc) as well as +the result having more pages that the single column variant with side and margin +floats. Occasionally I use columned itemize or columned tables of contents and of +course registers are often in columns. + +One can wonder why columns are supported anyway. It's mostly useful for +newspapers that have wide pages or journals that have small print. For magazines +and special layout it's fine too although it can look bad when columns are narrow +and fancy layout tricks are used. I guess that at some point their use will +disappear. A document on a phone or tablet is one narrow columns. An internet +page is one long column. A printed book, given that there will be such items in +the future is normally typeset in one column. And journals as well as newspapers +more and more get replaced by media that better serve their purpose. So, apart +from an intellectual challenge, implementing extensive multi|-|column support is +a waste of energy. Which is why we can accept limitations. + +\stopchapter + +\startchapter[title=Just text] + +As with the other mechanism you can define a column instance and use that later. +You can also directly pass the settings with the \type {\startpagecolumns} command +but best is to define an instance. + +\FourPages{pagecolumns-001} + +\ShowFile{pagecolumns-001} + +We always start at a new page and end on a new one. Footnotes and such don't span +columns and we don't balance.

Other publishing styles, textbooks in particular, +might additionally include lists of general references for \quote {further +reading} (and these lists might sometimes be split into sections according to +subject). An author may, in contrast, choose not to interrupt a text with many +citations, nevertheless, including a list of references. Furthermore, one might +refer in the text to certain works that need not necessarily be accompanied by a +full bibliography listing (for example, \Name {Darwin} {C.}'s \emph {Origin}). +\startfootnote \textcite[entry] [default::Darwin1859] \stopfootnote Thus, a +system providing tools to handle bibliographies needs to be flexible. + +A good, general reference on bibliography practice (in the English language), +independent of any particular specification, can be found in \cite [title] +[default::vanLeunen1992] \cite [default::vanLeunen1992]. Note that rules and +traditions may differ slightly in other languages and cultures. + +The examples of bibliography listings of the previous chapter were simplified by +the fact that the entire bibliographical dataset was rendered. In practice, the +same dataset source(s) could be used over many documents, and the dataset might +contain many more references than are used in any one document. That is, the data +source might be more complete than the final rendered bibliography list or lists. +The mechanism of citation allows you to select references from the dataset(s) to +build the list rendering as well as to place a indicator of the reference (or +not) in the text of the document corresponding to a list entry (a publication). +These citation renderings can be of many forms. + +A citation is normally pretty short as its main purpose is to refer uniquely to a +more detailed description. But, there are several ways to refer, which is why the +citation subsystem is configurable and extensible.

The \TEXcode {cite} namespace will inherit +from the root namespace; similarly, the \TEXcode {default} specification will +inherit elements from the \TEXcode {cite} namespace, but will be distinct from +the \TEXcode {apa} specification's \TEXcode {cite} namespace, and so forth. +Normally, we need not to worry about this as it is handled through the loading of +the specification. +\stopaside + +\cindex {cite} +\showsetup[cite] + +The \Cindex{citation} command is synonymous to \Cindex{cite}. + +\cindex {citation} +\showsetup[citation] +%\showsetup[citation:userdata] +\showsetup[citation:alternative] +\showsetup[citation:direct] + +\startaside +Note that the \MKII\ module based on \Tindex {bibtex} allowed the use of curly +brackets enclosing the \Index {tag} (for reasons of backward compatibility with +traditional \LATEX\ practice). A side|-|effect made this a bit picky about spaces +between its arguments, the first of which is optional. We have chosen to remove +this restriction through the use of standard \CONTEXT\ syntax using square +brackets (reserving curly brackets to usually be used to enclose text that is to +be typeset). + +The system will tolerate the \Index {depreciated} syntax \cindex {cite}\TEXcode +{\cite{tag}}, but this practice is to be strongly discouraged and cannot be mixed +with any other options. +\stopaside + +The most commonly used citation variants (or alternatives) are \TEXcode {num} and +\TEXcode {authoryear} introduced above. The first is typically employed in +conjunction with a numbered bibliography list, usually sorted in the citation +order in the text; the second is typically used in conjunction with a +bibliography list sorted by author and year of publication. + +Other citation variants may be quite useful, even when used in the context of the +above standard schemes. One such example would be \Cindex {cite}\TEXcode +{[title][tag]} that can be used to include the title of the work in the running +text (as can be seen earlier in \in {section} [sec:styles]; another one is +\cindex {cite}\TEXcode {\cite[year][tag]} that can be used to include the +publication date and \cindex {cite}\TEXcode {\cite[author][tag]} can be used to +extract the authors' names. These are examples of a general rule where \cindex +{cite}\TEXcode {\cite[field][tag]} will return the contents of the given field +for an entry, if the entry contains such a field. + +The variants \TEXcode {textnum} and \TEXcode {authoryears} are intended to be +used in the running text when the reference becomes part of the syntax of the +sentence: typically, they will not be set|-|off by parenthesis, for example. + +\startaside +The name \TEXcode {authoryears} (with an \quote{s}) is a shorthand that was used +in \MKII. Whereas its name is not immediately obvious at first view, in practice +it is a quite convenient variant of \TEXcode {authoryear} that differs only in +the style of punctuation, thus its place in a sentence structure. +\stopaside + +Notice that in the example \TEXcode{\cite[template::Chen:1988:IPP]} shown above, +the \TEXcode {tag} was prefixed with an alternate dataset name (\tindex +{::}\TEXcode {template::}) rather than to the default \TEXcode {dataset=example} +that was specified in the \Cindex {setupbtx} command earlier. The reason behind +the double|-|colon syntax should be made obvious here (where the \Index {tag} +itself uses single colons). + +In the last of the examples shown above, \TEXcode{\cite[entry][article]}, the +full rendered bibliographic entry gets placed. + +Unless the placed rendering uses \TEXcode {method=dataset}, only publications +that are explicitly cited will end up in the lists. You can force a citation into +a list using \Cindex {usecitation}, for example: + +\cindex{usecitation} + +\startTEX +\usecitation[patent] +\stopTEX + +This command has two synonyms: \Cindex {nocite} and \Cindex {nocitation} so you +can choose whatever fits you best. + +\cindex {nocite} +\showsetup[nocite] + +\cindex {nocitation} +\showsetup[nocitation] + +\cindex {usecitation} +\showsetup[usecitation] + +The purpose and utility of these commands (and their synonyms) is not only to +draw a citation from the dataset for inclusion in the bibliography, but also to +mark the place in the text where the citation is relevant. Normally, one might +claim that this should be done through one of the forms of the \Cindex {cite} (or +\Cindex {citation}) command, as all references appearing in the bibliography are +to be cited at least once in the text. However, even if one does not disagree +with this statement, one might still wish attach the citation to the reference in +the text of a \Index {floating object} such as a table or a figure, thus +establishing a proper order in the numbering since the explicit citation +rendering might occur within the table or the figure caption that might get +placed on a much later page. Consider the following schematic illustration: + +\cindex{nocite} +\cindex{cite} + +\startTEX +(see \nocite [MyReference]\in {table} [tab:mytable]). + +\startplacetable[reference=tab:mytable] + \unknown\ \cite[MyReference] +\stopplacetable +\stopTEX + +The citation rendering and the bibliographic list rendering are intimately +coupled reciprocally and cannot be dissociated. This coupling can be through the +reference number for example, but unnumbered reference lists also contain +interacting hyperlinks. A failure to take into account this interdependence can +lead to fundamental misunderstandings in use. + +\startaside +Both the citation and the list must be rendered. For example, a common error +would be to omit (or comment|-|out) the list rendering during the writing stage +of a document. Such an error will cause the citations to fail to render properly. + +Whereas this might seem to be an unnecessary limitation, it results from a +specific design choice and from the possibility of placing multiple renderings +freely, anywhere in a document. It is preferable not to render citations at all +than to render these citations possibly incorrectly. +\stopaside + +\startsection[title=Combining citations] + +\startbuffer +\cite[num][article,book,booklet] +\stopbuffer + +A single citation might refer to several sources, obtained through the use of a +comma separated list of \Index{tag}s, for example: \getbuffer + +\cindex{cite} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +A comma separated list of three (or more) consecutive numbers will get collapsed +or compressed into a range of numbers (if possible). + +\cindex {cite} The order in which the citation \Index {tag}s appear in the list +may or may not be important, depending upon the citation variant and on the style +specification. Consider the following examples: + +\startbuffer +\cite[num] [article,book] +\cite[textnum] [article,book] +\cite[authoryear] [article,book] +\cite[authoryears][article,book] +\cite[short] [article,book] +\cite[author] [article,book] +\cite[year] [article,book] +\cite[title] [article,book] +\stopbuffer + +\typeTEXbuffer + +This gives: + +\cindex{cite} +\startlines \getbuffer \stoplines + +Now we swap the order: + +\startbuffer +\cite[num] [book,article] +\cite[textnum] [book,article] +\cite[authoryear] [book,article] +\cite[authoryears][book,article] +\cite[short] [book,article] +\cite[author] [book,article] +\cite[year] [book,article] +\cite[title] [book,article] +\stopbuffer + +\typeTEXbuffer + +and get: + +\startlines \getbuffer \stoplines + +Note that the numbered citation reference is always rendered in numerical order, +where the numbers correspond to the order in which the entries appear in the +bibliography list. This order depends on the \Index {sorting} of the list +rendering (this sorting may be, in some styles, in the order in which the +references are cited) and is controlled by the \TEXcode {[list]} \TEXcode +{sorttype} parameter. In the \index {style+APA}APA style, presently active, the +citations are always sorted according to author and year. Thus, \quotation +{BookAuthorLastname} appears before \quotation {Last} in our example here, +regardless of the order in which the references appear in the \Cindex {cite} +command (i.e. either \TEXcode {\cite[article,book]} or \TEXcode +{\cite[book,article]}). + +The user can control the state of sorting of the \cindex{cite}\TEXcode {cite} +variants through the parameter \TEXcode {sorttype=normal}; other choices are +\TEXcode {reverse} and \TEXcode {none}: + +\startTEX +\setupbtx[aps:cite:num][sorttype=none] +\stopTEX + +\startsubsubject [title=Single list item containing multiple publication entries] + +Some bibliography styles admit the combination of several bibliographical sources +into a single list item having a unique reference number.

(Note, however, that entries combined as such do not make any +sense in an authoryear scheme such as \index {style+APA}APA.) + +One can combine \Index {tag}s using the addition operator symbol (\TEXcode {+}), +best illustrated though an example: + +\startbuffer +\METAFUN\ began as an expression of love and appreciation for \METAPOST. +\citation [num] [tugboat::Berdnikov:TB21-2-129+Hobby:TB21-2-131] + +\definebtxrendering[tugboat][aps][dataset=tugboat,group=examples] +\placebtxrendering [tugboat][criterium=section] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{citation} +\cindex{definebtxrendering} +\cindex{placebtxrendering} +\tindex{::} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +\getbuffer + +Combined entries are joined using a separator that can be specified, as in: + +\startbuffer +\setupbtxrendering[tugboat][separator={\break}] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{setupbtxrendering} +\tindex{separator} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +or suppressed (using \tindex {separator}\TEXcode {separator=,}); By default, +\cindex {removepunctuation}\TEXcode {separator={\removepunctuation;\space}}. + +Dataset entries that are combined cannot also appear apart (nor does this really +make any logical sense). All of the following: + +\startbuffer +\cite[num][tugboat::Berdnikov:TB21-2-129] +\cite[num][tugboat::Berdnikov:TB21-2-129,Hobby:TB21-2-131] +\cite[num][tugboat::Hobby:TB21-2-131] +\stopbuffer +\cindex{cite} +\tindex{::} + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +will point to the combined reference (as they should). However, beware that +attempting to include any of these references in a \emphasis {different} combined +list item is undefined, meaning unsupported. + +Combining list entries is another instance showing that citations and the +rendered bibliography list interact and cannot be separated. + +\stopsubsubject + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Additional text] + +\startsubsubject [title=Additional text in a citation reference] + +Sometimes one would like to include additional text in a citation, for example +a specific commentary or page number reference. + +\startbuffer +\cite[righttext={ p.\nbsp xx}][article] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{cite} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +yielding: + +\getbuffer + +The additional text can be either before (\TEXcode {lefttext=}) or after +(\TEXcode {righttext=}) \startfootnote The \MKII\ bib module used the keyword +\TEXcode {extra=} in the place of \TEXcode {righttext=}.

The difference becomes +important when referencing multiple citations. + +The following examples further illustrate the syntax: + +\startbuffer +\cite[lefttext={See },righttext={ p.\nbsp yy}][book] +\stopbuffer + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +\startbuffer +\cite[alternative=authoryears,righttext={ p.\nbsp xx}][article] + +\cite[alternative=authornum,righttext={ p.\nbsp xx}][article] +\stopbuffer + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +\startbuffer +\cite[alternative=num,righttext={{ p.\nbsp xx},{ p.\nbsp yy}}] + [article,book,booklet] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{cite} + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +\startbuffer +\cite[lefttext={In the article: },righttext={.}][article] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{cite} + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +\startbuffer +\cite[lefttext={{In the article: },{in the book: }},alternative=title] + [article,book] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{cite} + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +\startbuffer +\cite[righttext={{ p.\nbsp xx},}][article,book] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{cite} \typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +Because \CONTEXT\ does not allow mixing key|-|value pair lists with single value +keys, the keyword \TEXcode {alternative=} must be used, if needed, as shown in +the examples above. + +Note that a double curly|-|bracket (\TEXcode {{{}}}) also needs to be used when +the text is to contain a comma. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject [title=Additional text in a list entry] + +Additional text such as notes and page numbers can also get placed with the entry +in the bibliography list. Of course, the bibliography data entry can contain a +\TEXcode {note=} field that may or may not get rendered, but often is, according +to the style specification. + +It is also possible to specify notes or page references to be rendered \TEXcode +{before} or \TEXcode {after} a bibliography entry through the citation call. + +\startbuffer +\cite + [alternative=num, + before={{Introducing MetaPost: },}, + after={,{ See, also, the references therein, p.\nbsp 58.}}] + [tugboat::Hobby:TB10-4-505,Hobby:TB22-1-46] +\blank +\placebtxrendering [tugboat][criterium=section] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{cite} +\cindex{placebtxrendering} +\tindex{::} + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +Clearly, such additional text can be added to each entry only once, so the first +such \Cindex {cite} call wins. + +\stopsubsubject + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Placing a single citation] + +Sometimes, one would like to place a single citation somewhere in the text +without necessarily adding it to a bibliography list.

This is \emphasis {not} necessarily +the same as that of the rendering (if a different rendering specification is +declared). Note that the named rendering used above (\TEXcode {[tugboat]}) was +not declared a child of the rendering named \TEXcode {[aps]}, though the \TEXcode +{specification=apa} is active. Thus, the style of the citations can be made to +differ from the style of their bibliography list, as here, but this is not really +a very good practice. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Placing citations as footnotes] + +A \Cindex {placecitation} command can occur inside a footnote or other \Index +{floating object} such as a figure or table caption.

In particular, +datasets having their origin in multiple source files may contain conflicting +\Index {tag}s, though duplicate \Index {tag}s get suffixed automatically so this +should not be a real problem. + +On the other hand, asking for a \Index {wildcard} also makes no sense. +\startfootnote Note that \cindex {nocite}\TEXcode {\nocite{*}} is a valid +\LATEX/\BIBTEX\ practice that is used to include all entries of a \Tindex {.bib} +file in the final bibliography. This result can be obtained in \CONTEXT\ through +the \TEXcode {method=dataset} list rendering parameter. Alternately, one can use +the syntax \cindex {cite}\TEXcode {\cite[match(*:*)]} which is a shorthand to +match all values of all fields. \stopfootnote Nevertheless, we provide a powerful +mechanism for matching a query. Keep in mind that a \Index {tag} is used as a +quick look|-|up in a hashed table whereas a search will look through the entire +dataset. If processing speed is critical, one should use the cite \Index {tag} +lookup; in practice, even on a big book project employing a very large dataset, +the search is not a penalty. + +Let's look in more detail at the \Cindex {cite} command. In order to distinguish +efficiently between a normal reference and a more clever one, we use the \TEXcode +{match()} function: + +\tindex{::} +\startTEX +match(query) +dataset::match(query) +dataset :: match ( query ) +\stopTEX + +The handler is rather tolerant for spaces (as well as capitalization) which is +handy if you have long queries that wrap around in the source code. Of course the +\tindex {::}\TEXcode {dataset::} prefix is optional in which case the current +dataset is taken. Such match queries can be mixed in a multiple reference +citation indifferently with hashed cite \Index {tag}s so the system is really +flexible. + +\blank + +To demonstrate the use a search query, we load a small bibliographic database: + +\startbuffer +\usebtxdataset[boekplan][boekplan.bib] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{usebtxdataset} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +\getbuffer + +We could switch to this base using: + +\cindex{setupbtx} +\startTEX +\setupbtx[dataset=boekplan] +\stopTEX + +but instead we shall use a prefix as seen previously. Consider the following: + +\startbuffer +everything that you might want to know about layouts +\cite[boekplan::match(author:Egger)] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{cite} +\tindex{::} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +We will get: \quotation {\inlinebuffer}. Of course this assumes that we also +typeset a list of references somewhere in our document, so let's do that here: + +\startbuffer +\definebtxrendering[boekplan][apa][dataset=boekplan,group=examples] +\placebtxrendering [boekplan][criterium=chapter] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{definebtxrendering} +\cindex{placebtxrendering} + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +\startbuffer +\cite[authoryears][ match(title:Lua)]\\ +\cite[authoryears][default:: match(title:Lua)]\\ +\cite[authoryears][boekplan::match(title:Lua)] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{cite} +\tindex{::} + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +Notice that no match is found in the \quote {current} dataset (\TEXcode {example}). + +A query eventually becomes a \LUA\ expression so you can use helpers to achieve +your goal. As a convenience there are some shortcuts to access fields. The +following examples demonstrate this: + +\startbuffer +\cite + [authoryears] + [boekplan::match(author:hagen and year:2010-2011)]\\ +\cite + [authoryears] + [boekplan::match(author:{Willi Egger})]\\ +\cite + [authoryears] + [boekplan::match(author:Hans and (tonumber(field:year) or 0) > 2011)] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{cite} +\tindex{::} + +\typeTEXbuffer \getbuffer + +You can use grouping braces when spaces are involved.

Oh well... +% the mechanism is predictable and the above example explicitly explains this +% point. Would it be easy to add match(lastname:h*), for example? I suppose that +% this would have to yield hits in ALL author-type fields (author, editor, ...). + +Note also that the order of the match criteria is not significant. + +\startaside +The search mechanism is very powerful. However, a \bold {major \Index{pitfall}} +or risk comes from the possibility to easily under|-|specify the match criteria. +For example, \TEXcode {match(author:Hagen and author:Hoekwater)} will find \cite +[title] [boekplan::match(title:Fonts)], but it will also find \cite [title] +[boekplan::match(title:Layouts)]; Nor would adding the criterium \TEXcode {and +year:2011} be of any help.

Of course, this feature can also be a good shorthand as well to +select several different matching works when that is the desired result. +\stopaside + +% This only begins to touch on the search mechanism. +% This section needs to be expanded. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title={Page index, interaction, and registers},reference=sec:index] + +Each citation in the text not only marks the dataset entry for inclusion in the +bibliography list but also records the page number on which the citation occurs. +Each named list rendering can be instructed to include these pages just like an +index. + +\startbuffer +\setupbtxrendering + [default] + [pagestate=start] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{setupbtxrendering} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +The result can be observed in the \about [ch:biblio] on \at {page} [ch:biblio]. +If interaction is active (\cindex {setupinteraction}\TEXcode +{\setupinteraction[state=start]}), then these page numbers will be \Index +{hyperlink}s back to the citations. If \TEXcode {numbering=yes}, then the +numbered bibliography entries will also contain \Index {hyperlink}s back to the +first occurrence in the text where the entry is cited (which is the same as the +first page indexed). + +Some styles, such as \index {style+APA}\TEXcode {apa}, will have other \Index +{hyperlink}s. The author list including the year will be active just like the +numbers above (an \TEXcode {authoryear} list is usually not numbered). +Furthermore, any doi or url that is included in the entry will be a \Index +{hyperlink} to the external resource. Finally, all titles will contain \Index +{hyperlink}s to the local downloaded file of the cited work if this exists and +was specified (using the data field \TEXcode {file={},}). + +In addition to the index of pages of citations in the text associated with each +entry in the bibliography list, one has the possibility of adding bibliography +items to any standard index list. This can be illustrated through the creation of +a list of authors or names: + +\startbuffer +\defineregister + [indexofauthors] + +\definebtxregister + [authors] + [field=author, + register=indexofauthors, + method=always, + dataset=default, + alternative=invertedshort] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex{defineregister} +\cindex{definebtxregister} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +placed in the preamble of the document and to be followed later, typically +towards the end of the document, by + +\cindex{placeregister} + +\startTEX +\startchapter[title=Index of Names] + \placeregister[indexofauthors][compress=yes] +\stopchapter +\stopTEX + +as can be see in the present manual on \at {page} [ch:indexofauthors]. + +\cindex {definebtxregister} +\showsetup[definebtxregister] + +\cindex {setupbtxregister} +\showsetup[setupbtxregister] + +Any field can be indexed, as desired, for example \TEXcode {field=title}. One +particularly useful field is \TEXcode {keywords={}}: a semi|-|colon separated +list of keywords will be split into individual index entries for each cited work. + +The handling of fields to be interpreted as names (as in \TEXcode {author}) or as +keywords (split into fields separated by semi|-|colons), etc. depends on the +specification and is declared in a lua file associated with the specification +definition file.

For the sake of the +present manual, the field \BTXcode{abstract} has been defined as optional for the +\BTXcode{book} entry in the specification's lua file. + +But don't expect too much support for such low|-|level rendering control. + +\stopsubsubject + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Custom list renderings,reference=sec:list] + +The rendering of lists is much more flexible and configurable than the rendering +of citation markers. This is because the nature of data to be rendered requires +many tools and helpers to deal with all of the eventual contingencies inherent in +describing bibliographical references. + +The same \quote {low|-|level} formatting parameters used for citations also apply +for \TEXcode {list} \Index {namespace}s, although their settings may differ from +those of the citations.

This model of inheritance holds true for the citation and list +details as described earlier. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title=Setups] + +The layout of the information presented in the list is entirely controlled +through setups, with the help of some underlying \LUA\ code organizing the data +stored in the dataset.

This +file defines a hierarchical \LUA\ table containing an element \TEXcode +{categories} that itself contains the entries \TEXcode {book}, \TEXcode +{article}, etc. The entries for each \Index {category} themselves contain the +entries \index {field+required}\TEXcode {required} and \index +{field+optional}\TEXcode {optional} listing the dataset fields that are to be +used. Any field that is not declared either \index {field+required}required or +\index {field+optional}optional will be \index {field+ignored}\emphasis +{ignored}. \startfootnote The difference between \index {field+required}\quote +{required} and \index {field+optional}\quote {optional} is only a question of +diagnostics as described in the Appendices. Their functional meaning is rather +\quote {handled} in contrast to \index {field+ignored}\quote {ignored}. +\stopfootnote Note that if a category is \emphasis {not} declared in this \LUA\ +table, than \emphasis {all} of its fields will be considered \index +{field+optional}\quote {optional}. Thus, ignoring this level of control and +simply defining additional setups might be sufficient for most use. + +The advantage of the \LUA\ table is a great simplification of the logic of the +helper setups. Fields that might be irrelevant for one category yet used in +another can be tested; if the field is to be \index {field+ignored}\quote +{ignored}, than a fetch will return nothing. Indeed, the above two setups could +be replaced by a single setup as \TEXcode {journal} is irrelevant and thus +ignored for the \Index {category} \TEXcode {book} but not for the \Index +{category} \TEXcode {journal}. However, an oversimplification such as just +described would be rather confusing and would not extend well to a more complete +specification (such as \index {style+APA}\TEXcode {apa}) handling many different +categories. + +Note, as well, that fields \index {field+ignored}\quote {ignored} for certain +\index {category}categories in the bibliography list will also be ignored in +citations. For example, choosing to ignore \TEXcode {title} in some \Index +{category}, say \TEXcode {article}, will cause \TEXcode {\cite[title]} to fail +(return nothing) when referring to an entry of that category. In the example +shown in \in {section} [sec:customcite], the abstract field would not return +anything if it did not appear in the \LUA\ table. + +This \LUA\ table also defines (as \index {type}\quote {types}, outside of \index +{category}\quote {categories}) what fields are to be interpreted as names, what +fields are to eventually be interpreted as a number or range of numbers, and what +fields are to be interpreted specially as a (semi|-|colon) separated list (for +example, \TEXcode {keywords}). + +A more subtle feature of the \LUA\ level is the notion of \index {set}\quote +{sets}. Related fields can be grouped into sets, for example. + +\startLUA +book = { + sets = { + author = { "author", "editor", }, + editionset = { "edition", "volume", "number" }, + }, +}, +\stopLUA + +A fetch of the set \text {author} (i.e. \cindex {btxflush}\TEXcode +{\btxflush{author}}, to be described below) will return the \text {author} field +if this is present, otherwise it will return the \TEXcode {editor} field, for an +edited book, for example. Testing for the presence of a set in a data entry is +equivalent to a logical \emphasis{or} in testing for the presence of each element +of the set. This mechanism can appear confusing yet it has served to greatly +simplify the logic of the various setups. \startfootnote Sometimes a \Index {set} +will be defined using the same name as its first element, sometimes it can be +given a unique name (typically ending in \quote {set}). \stopfootnote + +The \TEXcode {author} set is a bit special given its use in the \TEXcode +{authoryear(s)}, \TEXcode {authornum}, and \TEXcode {short} citation variants. +This \Index {set} determines what fields are to enter into the citation \Index +{tag}s, a generalization of the notion of author. For example, in the \index +{style+APA}APA style, this set would include the author, editor, or title fields +or an article and the author, editor, publisher, or title fields for a book and +still other sequences of fields for other categories of publications. + +\stopsubsubject + +\startsubsubject[title=Defined helpers] + +Fetching data from the dataset is performed using the command encountered above: +\TEXcode {\btxflush}. If the field (or no elements of the set) is not found, then +this command will return nothing. + +\cindex {btxflush} +\showsetup[btxflush] + +Alternately, one might need to explicitly test for the presence or absence of the +field, in order to conditionally include punctuation or not to trigger +separators, for example. Three test macros have been defined: + +\startplacetable [title=Conditional macros] +\cindex{btxdoifelse} +\cindex{btxdoif} +\cindex{btxdoifnot} +\startTEX +\btxdoifelse{fieldname}{action when found}{action when not found} +\btxdoif {fieldname}{action when found} +\btxdoifnot {fieldname} {action when not found} +\stopTEX +\stopplacetable + +In many cases, the readability can be improved by using further setups, for +instance: + +\cindex{btxdoifelse} +\cindex{fastsetup} + +\startTEX +\btxdoifelse {author} { + \fastsetup{btx:apa:author:yes} +} { + \fastsetup{btx:apa:author:nop} +} +\stopTEX + +Note that the choice between using setups (defined through \Cindex {startsetups} +\unknown\ \Cindex {stopsetups} and recalled through \Cindex {fastsetup}) versus +textdefinitions without arguments (defined through \Cindex {starttexdefinition} +\unknown\ \Cindex {stoptexdefinition} and recalled through \Cindex +{texdefinition}) is a question of taste and opportunity. One should keep in mind +not get carried away abusing setups and texdefinitions for simple code fragments +that are to be used uniquely. + +An extra conditional is available for testing interactivity: + +\cindex{btxdoifelseinteraction} + +\startTEX +\btxdoifelseinteraction{action when true}{action when false} +\stopTEX + +There is also a conditional \Cindex {btxinteractive} which is more efficient, +although in practice efficiency is not so important here. + +\blank + +In addition to \Index {set}s, there are derived or special fields such as +\TEXcode {num} (for the reference number), \TEXcode {suffix} (to be appended in +some cases to \TEXcode {year}), \TEXcode {short} (for names), etc. These all can +be retrieved using \Cindex {btxflush}. Sometimes one might want to force access +to a particular data field (such as \TEXcode {author}) rather than eventually an +element of a \Index {set} having the same name.

However, it will be shown later +that the database system can be used (and abused) to many ends having little or +nothing at all to do with citations and bibliographies. Nevertheless, at first we +shall remain focused on the use of bibliography databases. + +The data to be used must have a source and a structure. In the next sections we +describe the possible input. + +\startsection[title=\BibTeX] + +The \BIBTEX\ format is rather popular in the \TEX\ community and even with its +shortcomings it will stay around for a while. Many publication websites can +export and many tools are available to work with this database format. It is +rather simple and looks a bit like \index [LUA table] {\LUA\ table}\LUA\ tables. +Indeed, it is said that the \BIBTEX\ format was one of the inspirations for the +constructor syntax in \LUA\ \cite [alternative=num, +righttext={\btxcomma Chapter\nbsp 12.}] [default::Ierusalimschy2006]. + +Unfortunately the content can be (and usually is) polluted with +non|-|standardized \TEX\ commands which complicates pre- or post|-|processing +outside \TEX. In that sense a \BIBTEX\ database is often not coded neutrally. +Some limitations, like the use of commands to encode accented characters root in +the \ASCII\ world and can be bypassed by using \index [UTF] {\UTF}\UTF\ instead +(as handled somewhat in \LATEX\ through extensions such as \Tindex {bibtex8}). + +The normal way to deal with a bibliography is to refer to entries using a unique +\Index {tag} or key. When a text containing a list of entries is typeset, this +reference can be used for linking purposes. The list can be processed and sorted +using the \Tindex {bibtex} program that converts the database into something more +\TEX\ friendly (a \Tindex {.bbl} file). + +In \CONTEXT\ we no longer use the (external) \goto {\Tindex {bibtex} program} +[url(https://www.ctan.org/pkg/bibtex)] at all: we simply parse the database files +in \LUA\ and deal with the necessary manipulations directly in \CONTEXT. One or +more such databases can be used and combined with additional entries defined +within the document. We can have several such datasets active at the same time. + +\startaside +\emphasis {On the name \Tindex {btx}:} many of the \CONTEXT\ commands that will be +used in the following contain the label \TEXcode {btx} in their name. This +identifier was retained despite the fact that \CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ is now completely +independent of \BIBTEX; it reflects the role still played by \BIBTEX\ data as a +preferred source format and serves as a handy, unique identifier, both internally +in the programming as well as for the user. This three|-|letter label is +systematically used in commands that otherwise attempt to avoid cryptic|-|styled +names. +\stopaside + +A \BIBTEX\ file entry looks like this: + +\startBTX +@Article {sometag, + author = "An Author and Another One", + title = "A hopefully meaningful title", + journal = maps, + volume = "25", + number = "2", + pages = "5--9", + month = mar, + year = "2013", + ISSN = "1234-5678", +} +\stopBTX + +Entries are of the form: \index {category}\BTXcode {@category{...}} + +Anything outside of a valid \BTXcode {@category{...}} construction is ignored and +is taken to be a comment. Within an entry, there are to be no comments but one +can prefix field names, for example, to have them ignored. + +There is a special entry type named \index {@comment}\BTXcode {@comment{...}}. +The main use of such an entry type is to comment a large part of the bibliography +easily, since anything outside an entry is already a comment, and commenting out +one entry may be achieved by just removing its initial~\BTXcode {@}. — The \index +{@comment}\BTXcode {@comment{...}} entry is perhaps of some use, although this is +not very elegant! As one can input multiple bibliography data files, as will be +seen below, it is much better practice to split datafiles for optional loading. + +Many \BIBTEX\ data management tools such as \Tindex {jabref} (see below) will +ignore and then throw|-|away all such handily|-|crafted comments and data entries +turned into comments. So one must beware! + +The field names are all cast to lowercase so capitalization is irrelevant; +Spacing is not important and should be used advantageously for readability. The +leading \Index {tag} (\BTXcode {sometag} in the example above) cannot contain +spaces and \emphasis {must} be followed by a comma. + +The entry \Index {tag} (\BTXcode {@category{sometag,...}}) is not to be confused +with the optional field \BTXcode {key=sortkey,} that may also be present. + +Normally a value is given between quotes (or curly brackets) but single words are +also valid (as there is no real benefit in not using quotes or curly brackets, we +advise to always use them, contrary to our example above). The order of the +fields in an entry is inconsequential and there can be many more fields than +those shown above. Instead of string values one can also use predefined +shortcuts. The title for example might quite often contain \TEX\ macros, and some +fields, like \BTXcode {pages} have funny characters such as the endash (typically +entered as \BTXcode {--}) so we have a mixture of data and typesetting +directives. Furthermore, if you are covering non||English references, you often +need characters that are not in the \ASCII\ subset. Note that \CONTEXT\ is quite +happy with \UTF, but if your database file uses old|-|fashioned \TEX\ accent +combinations then these will be internally converted automatically to \UTF. + +Commands (macros) found in a database file are converted to an indirect call, +which is quite robust. The use of commands in the database file will be described +in \in {section} [sec:Commands]. + +The \Tindex {author} (and \Tindex {editor}) fields are parsed separating multiple +authors identified by the conjunction \quote {and}. Each name is assumed to be in +the form: + +\definetyping + [NameSyntax] + [margin=1em] + +\startNameSyntax +Firstname(s) Lastname +\stopNameSyntax + +\seeindex {vons} {particule} + +where \type {Lastname} is a single word but may include an optional (nobility) +\Index {particule}: lower|-|case word(s) such as \quotation {von}, \quotation +{de}, \quotation {de la}, etc.) \emphasis {unless} specifically in the two- or +three|-|token form: + +\index {suffix} + +\startNameSyntax +Lastname(s), Firstname(s) +Lastnames(s), Suffix(es), Firstname(s) +\stopNameSyntax + +separated explicitly using comma(s) thus allowing multi|-|word \type {Lastnames}. + +\startaside +An \BTXcode {author} field is sometimes abused in traditional \BIBTEX\ usage to +hold not a name but rather an entity. Other fields, such as \BTXcode +{organization} or \BTXcode {collaboration}, for example, should be used in such +cases. +\stopaside + +\BIBTEX\ also (obscurely) supports the syntax: + +\seeindex {juniors}{suffix} +\index {suffix} + +\startNameSyntax +Firstname(s) \{Lastname(s), Suffix(es)\} +\stopNameSyntax + +we may (or may not) support this in the future, so don't use this! + +We extend \BIBTEX\ by optionally parsing each name in terms of four or five +tokens: + +\index {particule} \index {suffix} \index {initial} + +\startNameSyntax +Particule(s), Lastname(s), Suffix(es), Firstname(s) +Particule(s), Lastname(s), Suffix(es), Firstname(s), Initial(s) +\stopNameSyntax + +in order to allow a free form for the particules, irrespective of capitalization, +thus avoiding the need to resort to any sort of \TEX\ trickery \cite [num] +[default::Patashnik1988,Markey2009]. In fact, an optional sixth token is parsed +whose meaning is presently reserved for future directives describing how the name +is to be interpreted: + +\index {particule} \index {suffix} \index {initial} + +\startNameSyntax +Particule(s), Lastname(s), Suffix(es), Firstname(s), Initial(s), directives +\stopNameSyntax + +\BIBTEX\ additionally accepts the special token \Tindex {others} to be used +(sparingly) to indicate an incomplete author list. Note that most style +specifications will handle the truncation of long author lists in a systematic +fashion. The \index [others] {\tt and others}\BTXcode {and others} construction +finds its use when the complete author list is not well known or ill|-|defined. + +Sometimes, or even often, the database might contain variants of an author's +name that we would like to identify as a single, unique author. Indeed, certain +bibliographic styles (as will be seen later) as well as an index of authors, for +example, will depend on this identification. A command \Cindex {btxremapauthor} +allows establishing this identity: + +\startbuffer +\btxremapauthor [Donald Knuth] [Donald E. Knuth] +\btxremapauthor [Don Knuth] [Donald E. Knuth] +\stopbuffer +\getbuffer + +\cindex {btxremapauthor} +\typebuffer [option=TEX] + +Fields other than \Tindex {author} and \Tindex {editor}, for example \Tindex +{artist} or \Tindex {director} if one desires, can be declared to be of type +\quote {author} and thus interpreted as names, but this is a subject for +specialists. + +The \BTXcode {keywords} field can also be split into tokens separated by +semicolons (keyword; keyword; \unknown). This can be useful, as will be seen +later, in the creation of keyword indexes, for example. + +Other string values such as \BTXcode {title} are kept literally (except for an +internal automatic conversion to \UTF\ of certain \TEX\ strings such as accent +combinations, endash, quotations, etc.). Note that the bibliography rendering +style (see below) might specify a capitalization of the title (using the +\CONTEXT\ commands \TEXcode {\Word} or \TEXcode {\Words}, for example). +Capitalized Names and acronyms are respected removing a need for the \BIBTEX\ +practice of \quote {protecting} such words or letters with surrounding curly +brackets (which here are simply stripped off). (Furthermore, since \CONTEXT\ uses +\UTF, it does not suffer from all of the complicated \Index {sorting} issues that +plague \BIBTEX|/|\LATEX.) As some styles might not specify the capitalization of +words in the title whereas other styles might, it is recommended that strings be +written in lower case except where upper case is explicitly required so as to be +compatible with all such capitalization styles. + +\startaside +Some bibliographic database sources can be quite sloppy and return strings +(titles and even authors) in all capitals, for example. We have made the design +choice \emphasis {not} to follow the \BIBTEX\ practice/feature of explicitly +formatting all string values, as we did not want to require the protection +through enclosing curly brackets that would have been a necessary consequence. +Thus, some cleaning of these database files might be needed. Furthermore, we +attempt to use all the power of \CONTEXT\ and \LUA, thus making unnecessary much +(most?) of the \TEX-like encoding of the data. We encourage users to clean|-|up +their \Tindex {.bib} database files as much as possible so that they contain only +the necessary data, with a minimum of explicit formatting directives. +\stopaside + +String values, as described above, can be enclosed indifferently between matching +curly brackets: \BTXcode {{}} or pairs of quotation marks: \BTXcode {""}. +Multiple string values can be \index {string concatenation}concatenated using the +operator \BTXcode {\#}, as will be illustrated in \in {table} +[tab:mkiv-publications.bib]. + +Everything outside of a valid entry is ignored and treated as a \Index {comment}. +Syntactic errors (such as a missing comma or some unbalanced quotes or +parenthesis) are also skipped over, i.e. ignored. This is to attempt to continue +on to valid data but may lead to unexpected results. It is therefore the user's +responsibility to insure the correctness of the data files. Whereas some checks +and warnings are issued, the system is purposefully not too verbose. + +Data is handled on a \quote {first come, first served} basis: duplicate \index +{duplicate+fields}\emphasis {fields} in an entry are ignored \startfootnote Note +that some \BIBTEX\ practice allows for the concatenation of duplicate name \index +{duplicate+fields}fields (i.e. \BTXcode {author} and \BTXcode {editor}) through +\BTXcode {and}, but (silently) ignores duplicate other fields. We choose to have +a consistant behavior and disallow duplicate field occurrences. \stopfootnote +though duplicate \index {duplicate+entries}\emphasis {entries} (having the same +\index {duplicate+tags}tag) are retained, but the subsequent identical \Index +{tag}s will be modified by adding a suffix $-n$ for the $n$\high {th} duplicate. +The presence of duplicate \index {duplicate+fields}fields or \index +{duplicate+tags}tags will be flagged as such with warnings in the log file. +Duplicate \index {duplicate+entries}entries using different \Index {tag}s will +not be treated as duplicates. + +A special provision has been made to declare author \Index {synonyms}, that is +names that might occur with a variation of spellings or aliases. This shall be +discussed later. + +We have attempted to remain compatible with the \BIBTEX\ format, and any new +bibliography extensions that we introduce here were designed in a way to remain +compatible with \BIBTEX, being simply ignored rather than potentially generating +a \BIBTEX\ error. + +The \BIBTEX\ files are loaded in memory as \LUA\ table but can be converted to +\XML\ so that we can access them in a more flexible way, but that is another +subject for specialists. + +\stopsection + +\startsection [reference=sec:Commands,title=Commands in entries] + +One unfortunate aspect commonly found in \BIBTEX\ files is that they may contain +\TEX\ commands. Even worse is that there is no standard on what these commands +can be and what they mean, at least not formally, as \BIBTEX\ is a program +intended to be used with many variants of \TEX\ style: plain, \LATEX, and others. +This means that we need to define our use of these typesetting commands. (In +particular, one might need to redefine those that are too \LATEX|-|centric.) +However, in most cases, they are just abbreviations or font switches and these +are often well known. Therefore, \CONTEXT\ will try to resolve them before +reporting an issue. The log file will announce the commands that have been seen +in the loaded databases. For instance, loading \Tindex {tugboat.bib} (distributed +with \TEXLIVE) gives a long list of commands of which we show a small set of the +five most frequently encountered ones here: + +\startbuffer +\definebtxdataset[tugboat] +\usebtxdataset[tugboat][tugboat.bib] +\stopbuffer + +\getbuffer + +\starttyping +publications > tugboat tt 134 known +publications > tugboat Dash 136 unknown +publications > tugboat acro 137 known +publications > tugboat LaTeX 209 known +publications > tugboat TeX 856 known +\stoptyping + +Some are flagged as known and others as unknown. You can define unknown commands, +or overload existing definitions in the standard way (\emphasis {e.g.} \TEXcode +{\def\Dash{—}}), the \CONTEXT\ way (\TEXcode {\define\Dash{—}}) or, +alternatively, in the following way: + +\cindex {definebtxcommand} + +\startTEX +\definebtxcommand\TUB {TUGboat} +\definebtxcommand\MP {METAPOST} +\definebtxcommand\sltt{\tt} +\definebtxcommand\<#1>{\type{#1}} +\stopTEX + +\definebtxcommand\MP {METAPOST} % to be used silently below + +Custom commands created using \Cindex {definebtxcommand} have the advantage of +using a separate name space thus allowing \Index {isolation} from other \CONTEXT\ +commands. (The \Index {isolation} of \Cindex {btxcommand} allows the \Tindex +{.bib} files to safely contain \TEX\ and \LATEX\ idiosyncrasies that might +conflict with proper \CONTEXT\ syntax.) Unknown commands do not stall processing, +but their names are then typeset in a mono|-|spaced font so they probably stand +out for proofreading. You can access the commands using \index +{btxcommand}\TEXcode {\btxcommand{...}} (or \Cindex {btxcmd}), as in: + +\startbuffer +commands like \btxcommand{MySpecialCommand} are handled in an indirect way +\stopbuffer + +\cindex {btxcommand} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +As this is an undefined command we get: \quotation {\inlinebuffer}. + +Often, these embedded \TEX\ commands are present in \Tindex {.bib} files in order +to trick \BIBTEX\ into certain behavior. Since this will generally not be +necessary here, we strongly encourage users to clean|-|up such unnecessary +extras. Indeed, the idea is to keep the data clean, using styles and parameter +settings instead to handle rendering issues. Indeed, we don't see it as challenge +nor as a duty to support all kinds of messy definitions.

We purposely limited this \TEXcode {default} specification as +a minimal example for a bibliography. + +The notion of categories and the fields that they might contain and their +interpretation depend on a particular specification, although the dataset +\emphasis {content} is independent of all eventual rendering specifications that +may be applied. + +An alternative set of specifications can be selected using, for example + +\startbuffer +\usebtxdefinitions[apa] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex {usebtxdefinitions} +\index {style+APA} +\seeindex {specification}{style} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +\getbuffer + +Alternately, the set of specifications can be loaded and (later) activated using + +\cindex {loadbtxdefinitionfile} +\cindex {setupbtx} +\index {style+APA} + +\startTEX +\loadbtxdefinitionfile[apa] +... +\setupbtx[specification=apa] +\stopTEX + +but it is safer to use the \TEXcode {\use} rather than \TEXcode {\load} form, in +particular with specifications that may themselves have several variants. Also, +it is way too easy to later forget to set the \TEXcode {specification} parameter +and then wonder why the loaded specification was not applied. + +\startaside +We wish to clarify that each specification defines the categories of entries and +the interpretation or use of the fields that they contain, but does not alter the +data itself, only how this data is used. It also defines \emphasis {setups} that +control the rendering of lists as well as citations (to be described below). +Additionally, it creates a namespace with settings for particular \emphasis +{parameters} controlling the formatting of names, for example, punctuation as +well as other stylistic features. The user can tune or overload these settings as +needed. +\stopaside + +A specification need not be activated before loading a dataset; indeed the +contents of a dataset are stored independent of the specification, and multiple +specifications can be applied to the same dataset (although this will not usually +be the case). Furthermore, multiple specification files can be loaded +simultaneously as they reside in separate namespaces, but only one specification +can be selected at a time. We introduce these commands here in the context of +datasets as the labeling of categories and of field use can change depending on +the specification. Indeed, some specifications might ignore certain fields +present in the dataset that may be used with other specifications. The details of +how this is programmed will be explained in \in {Chapter} [ch:custom]. + +So a specification is both a definition of how a dataset is to be interpreted as +well as stylistic tuning of how it is to be rendered. + +\cindex {loadbtxdefinitionfile} +\showsetup[loadbtxdefinitionfile] + +\cindex {usebtxdefinitions} +\showsetup[usebtxdefinitions] + +\stopsection + +\startsection [title=Dataset diagnostics] + +You can ask for an overview of entries present in a dataset with: + +\startbuffer +\showbtxdatasetfields[example] +\stopbuffer + +\cindex {showbtxdatasetfields} + +\typeTEXbuffer + +The listing that this produces is shown in \in {Appendix} [ch:datasetfields]. + +\cindex {showbtxdatasetfields} +\showsetup[showbtxdatasetfields] +\showsetup[showbtxdatasetfields:argument] + +Sometimes you might want to check a database, listing all of its entries in +detail.

It must be stressed, so we repeat ourselves here, that these \quote +{categories} can be of any sort whatsoever, the meaning of which resides in the +rendering style that is chosen. The entries contain fields, and these too can be +of any sort; their use also depends on the rendering style and the \Index +{category} in which they belong. \BibTeX\ has conventionally defined a number of +standard categories, each making use of a number of fields considered either +\index {field+required}required, \index {field+optional}optional or \index +{field+ignored}ignored. However, different traditional \BIBTEX\ rendering styles +can make inconsistant use of these standard categories and fields.

Furthermore, one can associate renderings +into particular number groups, effectively isolating them from any other +renderings.

A user requiring a more complete rendering will want to explicitly +load and activate another style file.

Yet many find +that the longer author|-|year citations can be of great use to the reader (as +well as the writer) so we take no stand in this debate and provide both +possibilities. + +We have made (and continue to make) a great effort to scrupulously respect the +\index {style+APA}APA style in the so|-|named rendering. Yet be warned that very +few editors and publishers in fact follow this style exactly so some +customization will always be required. +\stopaside + +In addition to the APA specification, there are many prescribed styles to render +bibliographic descriptions that can be programmed as standards.

Indeed, the +rendering of bibliography lists and references to it are intimately coupled. This +question will be explained a bit later. The \index {style+APA}APA style, for +example, specifies that the bibliography list be sorted by author and then by +year, then by title. The list is not numbered (references are cited by author and +year). Note, however, as can be seen from the two examples shown above that the +references were indeed assigned numbers even though they are not displayed in the +\index {style+APA}\TEXcode {apa} rendering (the user can easily choose to display +these numbers, if desired). + +\stopsection + +\startsection + [list={Bibliography list scope}, + title={Bibliography list \Index{scope}}] + +A single dataset can by used with multiple renderings. Although these renderings +may illustrate different styles (as here for the purpose of demonstration in a +manual on bibliographies), this would not be a coherent choice for a document +that would normally employ a single bibliography style. + +The most obvious use of multiple renderings (employing a single specification) is +the placement of bibliography lists localized by structure elements: parts, +chapters in a book, sections, etc. through the option \TEXcode +{criterium=chapter}, for example. This can be setup using: + +\cindex{setupbtxrendering} + +\startTEX +\setupbtxrendering + [default] + [repeat=yes, + continue=yes, + method=global] +\stopTEX + +followed at the end of each chapter by + +\cindex{placelistofpublications} + +\startTEX +\placelistofpublications + [criterium=chapter] +\stopTEX + +The numbering might alternately be made local through the option \TEXcode +{method=local}. If desired, the reference numbers can also get prefixed: + +\cindex{setupbtxlist} + +\startTEX +\setupbtxlist + [default] + [prefix=yes, + width=1cm] +\stopTEX + +A bibliography list rendering placed at a single location, at the end of a book, +for example, can also be easily split into structural parts. The following code +(given without any explanation) illustrates this idea nicely: + +\cindex{placelistofpublications} + +\startTEX +\startbackmatter + \startchapter [title=Bibliography,number=no,incrementnumber=no] + \startsubject [title=Introduction] + \placelistofpublications + [criterium=reference,reference=introduction] + \stopsubject + \dorecurse{12} { + \startsubject [title={Chapter #1}] + \placelistofpublications + [criterium=bodypart:chapter,reference=#1] + \stopsubject + } + \stopchapter +\stopbackmatter +\stopTEX + +Note, as the above demonstrates, that the list of bibliography citations for +\emphasis {any} referenced structural element can be placed \emphasis {anywhere} +in the document, not simply within the structural element itself. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Language] + +Bibliography lists (and citations in the text, see below) are rendered in the +language of the document (\Cindex {mainlanguage}). However, a bibliography entry +can contain a \TEXcode {language=} field and this can be used (if present), +depending on the specification, in the rendering and hyphenation of the \TEXcode +{title}, for example. + +One might choose to override this behavior and impose a single language for all +bibliography entries (as well as for all other \CONTEXT\ constructs) using +\Cindex {setupdelimitedtext} \TEXcode {[language=global]}. + +Since this directive is general for all delimited text in \CONTEXT\ and is not +specific to bibliographies, one can apply it to force a particular language +within a unique section, as in: + +\cindex{setupdelimitedtext} +\cindex{placelistofpublications} + +\startTEX +\startsection[title=Bibliografía] + \setupdelimitedtext[language=es] + \placelistofpublications +\stopsection +\stopTEX + +% to Hans: This currently does not work! +% to Alan: I need an example! + +The language setting also influences the sorting of \UTF\ strings, in particular +authors and titles. + +\cindex {setupdelimitedtext} +\showsetup[setupdelimitedtext] + +\startplacetable [title={\cindex{setupdelimitedtext}\TEXcode{\setupdelimitedtext[language=…]}}] + \starttabulate [|Tl|p(.7\textwidth)|] + \NC language= \NC \NC \NR + \HL + \NC {\it<blank>} \NC (the default) use the current active language; \NC \NR + \NC local \NC respect local language directives (such as the + entry's \TEXcode {language={…},} field, if present + and managed by the rendering specification) \NC \NR + \NC global \NC impose the main document language; \NC \NR + \NC en, de, nl, + \unknown \NC impose the specified language. \NC \NR + \HL + \stoptabulate +\stopplacetable + +\startsubsubject[title=Translated titles] + +Going beyond this handling of punctuation, labels and sorting, we have also +introduced an entirely new feature, allowing for dataset entries to contain +fields describing translated titles, for example.

If you have one document source, and don't shuffle around (reuse) +text too much it probably works out okay but that is not our practice. Here I +will describe how you can enable a more \CONTEXT\ specific \SYNCTEX\ support so +that aware \PDF\ viewers can bring you back to the source. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=What we want] + +The \SYNCTEX\ method roughly works as follows. Internally \TEX\ constricts linked +lists of glyphs, kerns, glue, boxes, rules etc. These elements are called nodes. +Some nodes carry information about the file and line where they were created. In +the backend this information gets somehow translated in a (sort of) verbose tree +that describes the makeup in terms of boxes, glue and kerns. From that +information the \SYNCTEX\ parser library, hooked into a \PDF\ viewer, can go back +from a position on the screen to a line in a file. One would expect this to be a +relative simple rectangle based model, but as far as I can see it's way more +complex than that. There are some comments that \CONTEXT\ is not supported well +because it has a layered page model, which indicates that there are some +assumptions about how macro packages are supposed to work. Also the used +heuristics not only involve some specific spot (location) but also involve the +corners and edges. It is therefore not so much a (simple) generic system but a +mechanism geared for a macro package like \LATEX. + +Because we have a couple of users who need to edit complex sets of documents, +coded in \TEX\ or \XML, I decided to come up with a variant that doesn't use the +\SYNCTEX\ machinery but manipulates the few \SYNCTEX\ fields directly \footnote {This +is something that in my opinion should have been possible right from the start +but it's too late now to change the system and it would not be used beyond +\CONTEXT\ anyway.} and eventually outputs a straightforward file for the editor. +Of course we need to follow some rules so that the editor can deal with it. It +took a bit of trial and error to get the right information in the support file +needed by the viewer but we got there. + +The prerequisites of a decent \CONTEXT\ \quotation {click on preview and goto +editor} are the following: + +\startitemize + +\startitem + It only makes sense to click on text in the text flow. Headers and footers + are often generated from structure, and special typographic elements can + originate in macros hooked into commands instead of in the source. +\stopitem + +\startitem + Users should not be able to reach environments (styles) and other files + loaded from the (normally read|-|only) \TEX\ tree, like modules. We don't + want accidental changes in such files. +\stopitem + +\startitem + We not only have \TEX\ files but also \XML\ files and these can normally + flush in rather arbitrary ways. Although the concept of lines is sort of + lost in such a file, there is still a relation between lines and the snippets + that make out the content of an \XML\ node. +\stopitem + +\startitem + In the case of \XML\ files the overhead related to preserving line + numbers should be minimal and have no impact on loading and memory when + these features are not used. +\stopitem + +\startitem + The overhead in terms of an auxiliary file size and complexity as well + as producing that file should be minimal. It should be easy to turn on and + off these features. (I'd never turn them on by default.) +\stopitem + +\stopitemize + +It is unavoidable that we get more run time but I assume that for the average user +that is no big deal. It pays off when you have a workflow when a book (or even a +chapter in a book) is generated from hundreds of small \XML\ files. There is no +overhead when \SYNCTEX\ is not used. + +In \CONTEXT\ we don't use the built|-|in \SYNCTEX\ features, that is: we let +filename and line numbers be set but often these are overloaded explicitly. The +output file is not compressed and constructed by \CONTEXT. There is no benefit in +compression and the files are probably smaller than default \SYNCTEX\ anyway. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Commands] + +Although you can enable this mechanism with directives it makes sense to do it +using the following command. + +\starttyping +\setupsynctex[state=start] +\stoptyping + +The advantage of using an explicit command instead of some command line option is +that in an editor it's easier to disable this trickery. Commenting that line will +speed up processing when needed. This command can also be given in an environment +(style). On the command line you can say + +\starttyping +context --synctex somefile.tex +\stoptyping + +A third method is to put this at the top of your file: + +\starttyping +% synctex=yes +\stoptyping + +Often an \XML\ files is very structured and although probably the main body of +text is flushed as a stream, specific elements can be flushed out of order. In +educational documents flushing for instance answers to exercises can happen out of +order. In that case we still need to make sure that we go to the right spot in +the file. It will never be 100\% perfect but it's better than nothing. The +above command will also enable \XML\ support. + +If you don't want a file to be accessed, you can block it: + +\starttyping +\blocksynctexfile[foo.tex] +\stoptyping + +Of course you need to configure the viewer to respond to the request for +editing. In Sumatra combined with SciTE the magic command is: + +\starttyping +c:\data\system\scite\wscite\scite.exe "%f" "-goto:%l" +\stoptyping + +Such a command is independent of the macro package so you can just consult the +manual or help info that comes with a viewer, given that it supports this linking +back to the source at all. + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Methods] + +Contrary to the native \SYNCTEX\ we only deal with text which gives reasonable +efficient output. If you enable tracing (see next section) you can what has +become clickable.
