-
- Basics
-
- Using graphics, insert image, apply transformations, and advanced stuff.
- Floating objects: to place and number floating objects like figures, tables, paragraphs, etc.
- Combinations (regular adjusted image placement)
- Build your graphics
-
- MetaPost, the graphical programming language, and MetaFun, its ConTeXt extension.
- Sharing graphics: Export MetaPost drawings as PDF, import MetaPost drawings into MS Office, LibreOffice, etc.
- Data plotting with the module graph (2016)
- Data plotting alternatives: TikZ (2016), Gnuplot (2012), Pgfplot (2009).
- Flow Charts
- Scale, mirror, rotate, clip (Old Content 2010)
- Gantt charts
-
- Layers and stacks
-
- Layers: ConTeXt's mechanism for absolute positioning of elements and other advanced techniques like switching elements on and off.
- Overlays: ConTeXt's mechanism to stack local snippets. An alternative is Collectors (Old Content).
- Logos: ConTeXt 's mechanism to mage appear logos (picture or text elements) on every page
- Infinite Paper
- Specific topics and examples
-
- Including pages from PDF documents
- Image database with XML
- Image size for thei placement: if you’re using ConTeXt for complex layout tasks, you may need to calculate with image sizes. Often it makes sense to use Lua functions.
- Code to play with for Drop shadows
- Example photo page layout (Old Content)
