2 Slides per Page

2 Slides per Page

[David Arnold]

All,

I've got a slide show set up with:

\setuppapersize[S6][S6]

\setuplayout
  [width=middle,
    top=1cm,
    bottom=1cm,
    backspace=1cm,
    leftmargin=0pt,
    rightmargin=0pt,
    footer=0pt,
    header=0pt]

Then, I have material on a slide (page), followed by a \page command,
material on a slide (second page), followed by a \page command, material on
a slide (third page), followed by a \page command, ....

Now, I would like to print my slides on US Letter, two slides  the page.
Page 1 should contain my first slide at the top, second at the bottom. Page
2 should contain my third slide at the top, fourth slide at the bottom.
Etc, Etc, Etc, ...

Can someonw show me how to do this?

Thanks.

You could either use imposition (see "arranging pages" in the manual or 
"Imposition" in the wiki) or use modes like this:
\startnotmode[letter]
\page
\stopnotmode

Just a hint:

use
   \setuparranging[2TOPSIDE]
   \setuppapersize[S3][letter]
and play with
   \setuplayout[...]
(I propose to use S3 (or S4? to fit the a half of letter height) or 
scale S6 down.)

beneficial is splitting processing by modes
\doifmodeelse{print}
   {...print stuff...}
   {...screen stuff...}

for fun you can play with the imposition interface at

   www.pragma-pod.com -> exa -> impose

Hans et al,

Thanks for the hints. I'll take a look when I have more time. I have to
give this talk today, so I was glad I found this in the mail archive (keep
up the good work Patrick):

texexec --pdfcombine --comb=1*2 slides

Worked like a charm!
