%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 in points and scales as a number, where 100 equal 100\%. (We
%D used to pass scaled points).

%D {dostartgotolocation, dostopgotolocation,

%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.

%D Please let me know if we need more. From now on we default
%D to:
\setupoutput [dvips]
%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
\loadmarkfile{spec-def}
