Basics
- Using graphics
- insert image, apply transformations, and advanced stuff.
- Floating objects
- to place and number floating objects like figures, tables, paragraphs, etc.
- Combinations
- adjusted images placement in rows and columns
Build your graphics
- MetaPost, the graphical programming language
- MetaFun, ConTeXt graphical programming language, extension of MetaPost.
- Sharing graphics
- Export MetaPost drawings as PDF, import MetaPost drawings into MS Office, LibreOffice, etc.
- The grap module
- Data plotting module, and some 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 and advanced techniques like background / foreground, switch on / 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)
