+\startsection[title=The language] + +\index[lua]{\LUA} + +Small is beautiful and this is definitely true for the programming language \LUA\ +(moon in Portuguese). We had good reasons for using this language in \LUATEX: +simplicity, speed, syntax and size to mention a few. Of course personal taste +also played a role and after using a couple of scripting languages extensively +the switch to \LUA\ was rather pleasant. + +As the \LUA\ reference manual is an excellent book there is no reason to discuss +the language in great detail: just buy \quote {Programming in \LUA} by the \LUA\ +team. 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.

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 + +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.

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}.

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. Now take the +following code: + +\startbuffer +context("before") +context("word 1") +context("word 2") +context("word 3") +context("after") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \ctxluabuffer + +Here we get no spaces between the words at all, which is what we expect. So, how +do we get lines (or paragraphs)? + +\startbuffer +context("before") +context.startlines() +context("line 1") +context("line 2") +context("line 3") +context.stoplines() +context("after") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \ctxluabuffer + +This does not work out well, as again there are no lines seen at the \TEX\ end. +Newline tokens are injected by passing \type {true} to the \type {context} +command: + +\startbuffer +context("before") +context.startlines() +context("line 1") context(true) +context("line 2") context(true) +context("line 3") context(true) +context.stoplines() +context("after") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \ctxluabuffer + +Don't confuse this with: + +\startbuffer +context("before") context.par() +context("line 1") context.par() +context("line 2") context.par() +context("line 3") context.par() +context("after") context.par() +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer \ctxluabuffer + +There we use the regular \type {\par} command to finish the current paragraph and +normally you will use that method. 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. Only arguments are passed. An equivalent but bit more ugly looking is: + +\starttyping +context.startcombination() + context(false,"one","two") + context(false,"one","two") +context.stopcombination() +\stoptyping + +\stopsection + +\startsection[title=Catcodes] + +\index{catcodes} + +If you are familiar with the inner working of \TEX, you will know that characters +can have special meanings. This meaning is determined by their catcodes. + +\startbuffer +context("$x=1$") +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +This gives: \ctxluabuffer\ because the dollar tokens trigger inline math mode. If +you think that this is annoying, you can do the following: + +\startbuffer +context.pushcatcodes("text") +context("$x=1$") +context.popcatcodes() +\stopbuffer + +\typebuffer + +Now we get: \ctxluabuffer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
