positioning

positioning

[Hans Hagen]

Hi, 

Those who are familiar with positioning, will know that one can say: 

  \setuppositioning[unit=pt] \position(10,10){test}

The next release will also support direct settings, like

  test\position[unit=mm](3,3){mm}test

and overloading

  test\position(3cm,3cm){cm}test

and default pt units:

  test\position[unit=](30,30){pt}test

Hans

Whoo!!!  

My supervisor was just asking about mailing labels, and I was thinking
that the easiest way for me to do it might be with the positioning
combined with text blocks (or even vboxes).  (My perl would figure out
the dimensions.)
