+%D
+%D Switching to and from color can be done in two ways:
+%D
+%D \startitemize[packed,n]
+%D \item insert driver specific commands
+%D \item pass instructions to the output device
+%D \stopitemize
+%D
+%D The first approach is more general and lays the
+%D responsibility at the driver side. Probably due to the fact
+%D that \TEX\ does not directly support color, we have been
+%D confronted for the last few years with changing special
+%D definitions. The need for support depends on how a macro
+%D package handles colored text that crosses the page boundary.
+%D Again, there are two approaches.
+%D
+%D \startitemize[packed,n]
+%D \item let \TEX\ do the job
+%D \item let the driver handle things
+%D \stopitemize
+%D
+%D The first approach is as driver independant as possible and
+%D can easily be accomplished by using \TEX's mark mechanism.
+%D In \CONTEXT\ we follow this approach. More and more, drivers
+%D are starting to support color, including stacking them.
+%D
+%D Colors as well as grayscales can be represented in scales
+%D from~0 to~1. When drivers use values in the range 0..255,
+%D this value has to be adapted in the translation process.
+%D Technically it's possible to get a grayscale from combining
+%D colors. In the \cap{RGB} color system, a color with Red,
+%D Green and Blue components of 0.80 show the same gray as a
+%D Gray Scale specified 0.80. The \cap{CMYK} color system
+%D supports a Black component apart from Cyan, Magenta and
+%D Yellow.
+%D
+%D Depending on the target format, color support differs from
+%D gray support. PostScript for example offers different
+%D operators for setting gray and color. This is because
+%D printing something using three colors is someting else than
+%D printing with just black.
+%D
+%D In \CONTEXT\ we have implemented a color subsystem that
+%D supports the use of well defined colors that, when printed
+%D in black and white, still can be distinguished. This
+%D approach enables us to serve both printed and electronic
+%D versions, using colored text and illustrations. More on the
+%D fundamentals of this topic can be found in the \cap{MAPS} of
+%D the Dutch User Group, 14 (95.1).
+%D
+%D To satisfy all those needs, we define four specials which
+%D supply enough information for drivers to act upon. We
+%D could have used more general commands with the keywords
+%D 'rgb' and 'gray', but because these specials are used often,
+%D we prefer the more direct and shorter alternative.
+%D
+%D We start with the installation of color and grayscale
+%D specials. The values are in the range 0..1 (e.g. 0.25).
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostartgraymode {gray} ... \dostopgraymode
+%D \dostartrgbcolormode {red} {green} {blue} ... \dostopcolormode
+%D \dostartcmykcolormode {cyan} {magenta} {yellow} {black} ... \dostopcolormode
+%D \dostartgraycolormode {gray} ... \dostopcolormode
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Because we can expect conflicts between drivers, we
+%D implement them as category \type{or}. In previous versions
+%D of \DVIPSONE\ the use of their color||specials did not
+%D interfere with the PostScript ones, but recent versions do.

+%D For some drivers, the stop special is of no use and can
+%D simply call the start one with zero arguments.
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dogetfiguresize,doinsertfile,doinsertMPfile}
+%D
+%D Probably the most problematic special is the following
+%D one. Because we want to be able to support different
+%D schemes, we pass a lot of data to it.
+%D
+%D The support of inserting files (like illustrations) comes in
+%D many flavors. Some drivers use scales, some take dimensions.
+%D Some need offsets and others act on stored characteristics.
+%D They need one thing in common: a filename. Although separate
+%D specials for different formats sometimes are more clear, we
+%D decided to combine them all in one:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \doinsertfile {type,method} {file,label}
+%D {xscale} {yscale} {x} {y} {w} {h}
+%D {options}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D The scale is given percents, the other values are base
+%D points.
+%D
+%D Per 2006 we have simplified this model. The amount of drivers
+%D is not growing and all support scaling. We pass variables via
+%D Driver specific macros.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \doinsertfile
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D The special is implemented as \type{or}. Because \DVIPSONE\
+%D understands them all, a chain of alternatives would generate
+%D multiple occurrences of the same illustration.
+%D
+%D When option 1 is passed, the viewers is asked to present a
+%D preview, like the first frame of a movie.
+
+\installspecial [\dogetfiguresize][or] [0] % now a special
+\installspecial [\doinsertfile] [or] [0] % [9]
+\installspecial [\doinsertMPfile] [or] [1] % speed up
+
+%D No start||stop construction is needed here, because there in
+%D no further interference of \TEX. All dimensions are output
+%D in points and scales as a number, where 100 equal 100\%. (We
+%D used to pass scaled points).
+
+%D \macros
+%D {doinsertsoundtrack}
+%D
+%D Sounds are (for the moment) just files with
+%D associated options.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \doinsertsoundtrack {file} {label} {options}
+%D \stoptyping
+
+\installspecial [\doinsertsoundtrack] [or] [3]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dogetnofinsertpages}
+%D
+%D Some file formats support more than one page, like \PDF,
+%D and for special applications, one may want to have access
+%D to the total number of pages.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dogetnofinsertpages{filename}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D The number is also available after the insert is placed,
+%D since inclusion may take place immediate when an insert is
+%D called upon.
+
+\def\nofinsertpages{1} % one of the few 'talk backs'
+
+\installspecial [\dogetnofinsertpages] [or] [1]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartrotation,
+%D dostoprotation}
+%D
+%D We support rotation with the special:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostartrotation {angle} ... \dostoprotation
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D For the moment these specials are installed as
+%D category \type{or}.
+
+\installspecial [\dostartrotation] [or] [1]
+\installspecial [\dostoprotation] [or] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartscaling,
+%D dostopscaling}
+%D
+%D Scaling is also supported:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostartscaling {x} {y} ... \dostopscaling
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Like the previous one, these specials are of category
+%D \type{or}.
+
+\installspecial [\dostartscaling] [or] [2]
+\installspecial [\dostopscaling] [or] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartmirroring,
+%D dostopmirroring}
+%D
+%D And indeed, mirroring is there too:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostartmirroring {x} {y} ... \dostopmirroring
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Again these specials are installed as category \type{or}.
+
+\installspecial [\dostartmirroring] [or] [0]
+\installspecial [\dostopmirroring] [or] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartnegative,
+%D dostopnegative}
+%D
+%D When producing output for an image setter, negating the
+%D page comes into view. Here are the tools:
+
+\installspecial [\dostartnegative] [or] [0]
+\installspecial [\dostopnegative] [or] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartoverprint,
+%D dostopoverprint}
+%D
+%D Rudimentary overprint (knockout) control is implemented
+%D using:
+
+\installspecial [\dostartoverprint] [or] [0]
+\installspecial [\dostopoverprint] [or] [0]
+
+%D The following two specials are used in for instance \type
+%D {\vadjust}'d margin material inside colored paragraphs.
+
+\installspecial [\dostartgraphicgroup] [or] [0]
+\installspecial [\dostopgraphicgroup ] [or] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {doselectfirstpaperbin,
+%D doselectsecondpaperbin}
+%D
+%D Here are some very printer||specific ones. No further
+%D comment.
+
+\installspecial [\doselectfirstpaperbin] [or] [0]
+\installspecial [\doselectsecondpaperbin] [or] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {doovalbox}
+%D
+%D When we look at the implementation, this is a complicated
+%D one. There are seven arguments.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \doovalbox {w} {h} {d} {linewidth} {radius} {stroke} {fill} {variant}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D This command has to return a \type{\vbox} which can be used
+%D to lay over another one (with text). The radius is in
+%D degrees, the stroke and fill are~\type{1} (true) of~\type{0}
+%D (false).
+
+\installspecial [\doovalbox] [or] [8]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartclipping,dostopclipping}
+%D
+%D Clipping is implemented in such a way that an arbitrary
+%D can be fed.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostartclipping {pathname}{width} {height}
+%D \dostopclipping
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D
+
+\installspecial [\dostartclipping] [or] [3]
+\installspecial [\dostopclipping] [or] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dosetupidentity}
+%D
+%D We can declare some characteristics of the document with
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetupidentity {title} {subject} {author} {creator} {date} {keys}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D All data is in string format.
+
+\installspecial [\dosetupidentity] [and] [6]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dosetuppaper}
+%D
+%D This special can be used to tell the driver what page size
+%D to use. The special takes three arguments.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetuppaper {type} {width} {height}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D The type is one of the common identifiers, like A4, A5 or
+%D B2.
+
+\installspecial [\dosetuppaper] [and] [3]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dosetupprinter}
+%D
+%D Some drivers enable the user to specify the paper type
+%D used and/or page dimensions to be taken into account.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetupprinter {type} {hoffset} {voffset} {width} {height}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D The first argument is one of \type{letter}, \type{legal},
+%D \type{A4}, \type{A5} etc. The dimensions are in
+%D basepoints.
+
+\installspecial [\dosetupprinter] [and] [5]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dosetupopenaction, dosetupclosaction,
+%D dosetupopenpageaction, dosetupclospageaction,
+%D dosetupinteraction,
+%D dosetupscreen,
+%D dosetupviewmode}
+%D
+%D Here come some obscure interactive commands. Probably the
+%D specs will change with the development of the macros that
+%D use them.
+%D
+%D The first ones can be used to set up the interaction.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetupinteraction
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Normally this command does nothing but giving a message
+%D that some scheme is supported.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetupstartaction
+%D \dosetupstopaction
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D These two setup the actions to be executed when the document
+%D is opened and closed.
+%D
+%D The next commands sets up the page and screen. They are
+%D kind of related.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetuppage {hoffset} {voffset} {width} {height} {options}
+%D \dosetupscreen {hoffset} {voffset} {width} {height} {options}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D The first four arguments are in points. Option~1 results in a
+%D full screen launch.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetuppageview {keyword}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D For the moment we only support \type{fit}.

+%D \macros
+%D {dostarthide,
+%D dostophide}
+%D
+%D Not every part of the screen is suitable for paper. Menus
+%D for instance have no meaning on an non||interactive medium.
+%D These elements are hidden by means of:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostarthide
+%D \dostophide
+%D \stoptyping
+
+\installspecial [\dostarthide] [or] [0]
+\installspecial [\dostophide] [or] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartgotolocation, dostopgotolocation,
+%D dostartgotorealpage, dostopgotorealpage}
+%D
+%D When we want to support hypertext buttons, again we have
+%D to deal with two concepts.
+%D
+%D \startitemize[packed,n]
+%D \item let \TEX\ highlight the text
+%D \item let the driver show us where to click
+%D \stopitemize
+%D
+%D The first approach is the most secure one. It gives us
+%D complete control over the visual appearance of hyper
+%D buttons. The second alternative lets the driver guess what
+%D part of the text needs highlighting. As long as we deal with
+%D not too complicated textual buttons, this is no problem.
+%D It's even a bit more efficient when we take long mid
+%D paragraph active regions into account. When we let \TEX\
+%D handle active sentences {\em for instance marked like this
+%D one}, we have to take care of line- and pagebreaks ourselve.
+%D However, it's no trivial matter to let a driver find out
+%D where things begin and end. Because most hyperlinks can be
+%D found in tables of contents and registers, the saving in
+%D terms of bytes can be neglected and the first approach is a
+%D clear winner.
+%D
+%D The most convenient way of cross||referencing is using named
+%D destinations. A more simple scheme is using page numbers as
+%D destinations. Because the latter alternative can often be
+%D implemented more efficient, and because we cannot be sure
+%D what scheme a driver supports, we always have to supply a
+%D pagenumber, even when we use named destinations.
+%D
+%D To enable a driver to find out what to make active, we have
+%D to provide begin and endpoints, so like with color, we use
+%D pairs of specials. The first scheme can be satisfied with
+%D proper dimensions of the areas to be made active.
+%D
+%D The interactive real work is done by the following four
+%D specials. The reason for providing the first one with both
+%D a label and a number, is a result of the quite poor
+%D implementation of \type{pdfmarks} in version 1.0 of
+%D Acrobat. Because only pagenumbers were supported as
+%D destination, we had to provide both labels (\DVIWINDO) and
+%D pagenumbers (\PDF). Some drivers use start stop pairs.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostartgotolocation {w} {h} {url} {file} {label} {page}
+%D \dostartgotorealpage {w} {h} {url} {file} {page}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Their counterparts are:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostopgotolocation
+%D \dostopgotorealpage
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D The internal alternative is used for system||generated
+%D links, the external one for user||generated links. The
+%D Uniform Resource Locator can be used to let the reader
+%D surf the net.

+\installspecial [\dostopgotolocation] [and] [0]
+\installspecial [\dostartgotorealpage] [and] [5]
+\installspecial [\dostopgotorealpage] [and] [0]
+
+%D One may wonder why jumps to page and location are not
+%D combined. By splitting them, we enable macro||packages to
+%D force the prefered alternative, while on the other hand
+%D drivers can pick up the alternative desired most.
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartgotoJS, doflushJSpreamble}
+%D
+%D Rather special is the option to include and execute
+%D JavaScript code. This is a typical \PDF\ option.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostartgotoJS {w} {h} {script}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D This not so standard \TEX\ feature should be used with
+%D care. Preamble scripts are flushed by
+%D
+%D \doflushJSpreamble {script}
+
+\installspecial [\dostartgotoJS] [and] [3]
+\installspecial [\dostopgotoJS] [and] [0]
+\installspecial [\doflushJSpreamble][and] [1]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartthisislocation, dostopthisislocation,
+%D dostartthisisrealpage, dostopthisisrealpage}
+%D
+%D Before we can goto some location or page, we have to tell
+%D the system where it can be found. Because some drivers
+%D follow the \SGML\ approach of begin||end tags, we have to
+%D support pairs. A possible extension to this scheme is
+%D supplying coordinates for viewing the text.
+%D
+%D The opposite commands of \type{\dogotosomething} have only
+%D one argument:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostartthisislocation {label}
+%D \dostartthisisrealpage {page}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D These commands are accompanied by:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostopthisislocation
+%D \dostopthisisrealpage
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D As with all interactive commands's they are installed as
+%D \type{and} category specials.
+
+\installspecial [\dostartthisislocation] [and] [1]
+\installspecial [\dostopthisislocation] [and] [0]
+\installspecial [\dostartthisisrealpage] [and] [1]
+\installspecial [\dostopthisisrealpage] [and] [0]
+
+%D In \CONTEXT\ we don't use the \type{\stopsomething}
+%D macros because we let \TEX\ take care of typographic
+%D issues.
+
+%D \macros
+%D {doresetgotowhereever}
+%D
+%D These and others need:
+
+\installspecial [\doresetgotowhereever] [and] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dostartexecutecommand, dostopexecutecommand}
+%D
+%D The actual behavior of the next pair of commands depends
+%D much on the viewing engine. Therefore one cannot depend
+%D too much on their support.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostartexecutecommand {w} {h} {command} {options}

+%D
+%D At least the next commands are supported (more examples

+%D \macros
+%D {doinsertbookmark}
+%D
+%D Bookmarks, that is viewer generated tables of contents, are
+%D a strange phenomena, mainly because \TEX\ can provide
+%D whatever kind of table in much better quality.
+
+\installspecial [\doinsertbookmark] [and] [5]
+
+%D This special is called as:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \doinstallbookmark {level} {nofsubentries} {text} {page} {open}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D This definition is very \PDF\ oriented, so for more
+%D information we kindly refer to the \PDF\ manuals.
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dosetpagetransition}
+%D
+%D In presentations, fancy page transitions can, at least for a
+%D short moment, let the audience focus at the screen. Like the
+%D previous one, this special is very \PDF.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetpagetransition{dissolve}{0}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Transitions have symbolic names, like dissolve, box, split,
+%D blinds, wipe and glitter. The second argument determines
+%D the wait time (unless zero).

+%D {dopresettextfield,dopresetlinefield,
+%D dopresetchoicefield,dopresetpopupfield,dopresetcombofield,
+%D dopresetbuttonfield,dopresetcheckfield,
+%D dopresetradiofield,dopresetradiorecord}
+%D
+%D The special drivers are programmed independant from their
+%D calling macros are thereby use the standard \TEX\ way of
+%D passing parameters. Unfortunately fields often have more
+%D than nine characteristics, so we pack some arguments in one.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dopresettextfield / \dopresetlinefield
+%D {name} {width} {height} {default} {length}
+%D {style,color} {options} {alignment} {actions}

+%D \macros
+%D {dodefinefieldset,dogetfieldset,doiffieldset}
+%D
+%D Field sets, used in resetting and submitting, are handled
+%D by:
+
+\installspecial [\dodefinefieldset] [or] [2]
+\installspecial [\dogetfieldset] [or] [1]
+\installspecial [\doiffieldset] [or] [2]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dosetfieldstatus}
+%D
+%D For practical reasons we set some field characteristics
+%D using:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetfieldstatus {mode} {parent} {kids} {root}
+%D \stoptyping
+
+\installspecial [\dosetfieldstatus] [or] [4]
+
+%D with:

+\def\fieldlonermode {0} % no \chardef here
+\def\fieldparentmode{1} % no \chardef here
+\def\fieldchildmode {2} % no \chardef here
+\def\fieldcopymode {3} % no \chardef here
+
+%D \macros
+%D {doregistercalculationset}
+%D
+%D We can define a calculation order list with:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \doregistercalculationset {set identifier}
+%D \stoptyping
+
+\installspecial [\doregistercalculationset] [or] [1]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {doinsertcomment, doflushcomments}
+%D
+%D Not so much out of need, but to be complete, we also
+%D implement text annotations, so called comment:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \doinsertcomment
+%D {title} {width} {height} {color} {open} {symbol} {collect} {data}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D When enables, comments can be collected and flushed:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \doflushcomments
+%D \stoptyping
+
+\installspecial[\doinsertcomment] [and] [8]
+\installspecial[\doflushcomments] [and] [0]
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dosetposition, dosetpositionwhd, dosetpositionplus,
+%D dosetpositionpapersize}
+%D
+%D Not natural to \TEX, but available in \PDFTEX, and by
+%D means of postprocessed \DVI, we can save and call upon
+%D positions.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dosetposition {identifier}
+%D \dosetpositionwhd {identifier} {width} {height} {depth}
+%D \dosetpositionplus {identifier} {width} {height} {depth} {list}
+%D \dosetpositionpapersize {width} {height}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D This is one of the few specials where when using \PDFTEX\
+%D the driver directly deals with the utility file.
+
+%D Support is moved to spec-mis.tex. The whole idea originates
+%D and was implemented first in \PDFTEX. Later \DVIPDFMX\
+%D supported the \CONTEXT\ specific specials and nowadays
+%D \PDFTEX\ supports this feature in \DVI\ mode and \XETEX\
+%D implements it as well. This means that only \ALEPH\ is
+%D still dependent on specials, but that variant of \TEX\ has
+%D become obsolete anyway.

+%D \macros
+%D {dostarttransparency,dostoptransparency}
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \dostarttransparency{fraction}{type}
+%D \dostoptransparency
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Although in \CONTEXT\ transparency is closely integrated
+%D in the color drivers, in the end it is an independent
+%D feature.

+%D From now on, mapfile loading is also a special; we assume the
+%D more or less standard dvips syntax.
+
+\installspecial[\doresetmapfilelist] [and] [0]
+\installspecial[\doloadmapfile] [and] [2] % + - = | filename
+\installspecial[\doloadmapline] [and] [2] % + - = | fileline

+%D We define a couple of backends:
+
+\defineoutput [dvipsone] [dvi,ps,yy]
+\defineoutput [dviwindo] [dvi,ps,yy,win]
+\defineoutput [dvips] [dvi,ps,tr]
+\defineoutput [dviview] [dvi,ps,tr,dv]
+\defineoutput [pdftex] [tpd]
+\defineoutput [pdf] [tpd]
+\defineoutput [dvipdfm] [dpm]
+\defineoutput [dpm] [dpm]
+\defineoutput [dvipdfmx] [dpx]
+\defineoutput [dpx] [dpx]
+\defineoutput [acrobat] [pdf,ps,tr]

+\defineoutput [xetex] [dpx,xet]
+\defineoutput [xtx] [dpx,xet]
+\defineoutput [xdv] [dvi,xtx,xet]
+\defineoutput [xdv2pdf] [dvi,xtx,xet]
+
+%D We don't enable \ACROBAT, because pure \POSTSCRIPT\ is not
+%D that strong on objects and \PDFTEX\ does a better job.
+%D Some reasonable alternatives are:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \setupoutput [dvipsone,acrobat]
+%D \setupoutput [dviwindo,acrobat]
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Although, better is:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \setupoutput [pdftex]
+%D \stoptyping
+
+%D Please let me know if we need more. From now on we default
+%D to:
+
+\appendtoks
+ \setupoutput[dvips]%
+\to \everydump
