\setuparranging question

\setuparranging question

[Gerben Wierda]

How can I get the following arrangement:

2 A5 pages printed on one landscape A4 page
Order:
	-1 0
	1 2
	3 4
	5 6
	7 8
or in other words, no order which makes it ready for cutting/folding 
but just two A5 pages per A4 landscape in normal order, the way you 
would get it when you copy a book on A4 landscape.

(Even better would be to have alternate A4 printed pages upside down so 
you can print doublesided and then bind it so you can flip the document 
without having to turn the printout.)

Thanks,

G

Hi,

Try the psnup program and friends.

This will do exactly what you want (including the rotation for the  
double-sided printer at work) although it assumes a4 input. I assume  
you could remove the @0.7 parts (scaling), but please check the manpage  
(BTW these commands are part of your TeX distribution ;-):
	pstops -pa4 -q  
'4:0L@0.7(21cm,0)+1L@0.7(21cm,14.85cm),2R@0.7(0cm,29.7cm)+3r@0.7(0cm,14. 
85cm)'

It uses stdin and stdout as source and destination (but you can specify  
two files for in and out).

I figured the command out on linux, gv is you friend for these commands  
:-)

Regards,

Maarten

I think arranging mode "2UP" will fit your needs, apart from the 
rotation.

"2UP" will produce a  booklet i.e. if your document would coutn 8 pages then
you get page 1 and 8 on the first sheet, 2 and 7 on the backside of the
first sheet....

There is also 2*2 arranging, which should give you the requested result.

No it doesn't. It produces a booklet format also. I get
	[3][0]
	[1][2]
on a 4-page document. While I want:
	[-1][0]
	[1][2]
	[3]

Sorry, I mixed it up.
I meant "2SIDE".

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT THE WAY ONE SHOULD ADD NEW FEATURES! - Humble but I do
not remember how to do it correclty.

Copy page-imp.tex to page-imp.org
Please insert the following code into page-imp.tex I would suggest just
before "% % handy for stickers"

% New pageimposition scheme 3SIDE by Willi Egger 21-07-2003

\installpagearrangement 3SIDE
   {\dosetuparrangement{3}{1}{6}{4}{2}%
        \pusharrangedpageTHREESIDE\poparrangedpagesAB\relax}

\def\pusharrangedpageTHREESIDE#1% Willi's approach
  {\doglobal\increment\arrangedpageN
   \reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN
   \ifcase\arrangedpageN
   \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageA %  1
   \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageA %  2
   \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}020\arrangedpageA %  3
   \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageB %  4
   \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageB %  5
   \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}020\arrangedpageB %  6
        \poparrangedpages
   \fi}

Zou need te regenerate the format file to have this code working.

Hans please give advice how to do this properly whithout intruding into the
established ConTeXt-files!

It does exactly what I looked for! Thank you VERY much!
Now I can finally print my planner pages (address book etc.)
every 3 on one A4 sheet.

I thought you took part because there's something about
"Taco's challenge" in the code.
But Willi got it, now I hope it will work even for more
than a few pages...

How about the XY option:

[copied from page-imp]

% % handy for stickers etc, this way we can treat them as page
%
% \setuppapersize [XY][A4]
% \setuppaper     [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm,dx=1mm,dy=1mm,nx=2,ny=6]
% \setuplayout    [page] [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm]
% \setuplayout    [page]
% \setuplayout    [location=middle]
% \setuparranging [XY]
% \showframe
%
% \starttext \dorecurse{30}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext

so, you can have any arrangement

Hi all,

o.k. may be that the XY solution is the way to go. However I do not get the
results I would expect.
I tried to make the header smaller, no result., I tried to get Knuth's text
typeset. but pagebreaking is unsatisfactory.

Well if you leave the A4 portrait as in the commented example code from
page-imp and you have only single lines /words to be typeset, then the
result is ok.

May be I do not understand the matter quite well....


I would like to ask you Hans, whether that is something which could be
corrected some time. - If you look at the different frames drawn by
showframe, the left margin sticks out of the border of the defined page.
This is true for any page drawn on the sheet. - According to my experience
this is always happens also outside this XY thing.

Re: \setuparranging 3SIDE

[Nigel King]

Willi,
I had a go at this and found two things that I do not understand;

\setuplayout    [page] [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm]
Did not adjust anything until the [page] was removed and then the
incorporated page seems to adjust appropriately. I do not understand the
significance of [page] in this sommand.

Also,
\setuppapersize [XY][A4]
You have changed this to
\setuppapersize [XY][A4,landscape]
This does not appear to work properly? Possibly a bug?

Re: \setuparranging 3SIDE

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello Nigel,


> \setuplayout    [page] [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm]

well, the command \setuplayout is       

\setuplayout[...,...=...,...]


width		   <dimension> fit middle
height		   <dimension> fit middle
backspace	   <dimension>
topspace	   <dimension>
margin		   <dimension>


[....] so there is no place for a first argument.

This would set XY on a4 landscape. What do you want to achieve?
