poster, howto for beginner

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 616 bytes --]

I would like to start using ConText to create a scientific presentation
poster to be printed in A0 or smaller size
A single sheet of pubblication in which text and figures with captions,
can be framed and putted on the page in row and colum, equally
distibuted or not.
A loose layout example can be the attaced one.

Any hint on where to find an howto guide, a template or a beginner
document to start from?

How ConText is suited for the purpose and popular for this goal?

Regards.

I would like to start using ConText to create a scientific presentation
poster to be printed in A0 or smaller size
A single sheet of pubblication in which text and figures with captions,
can be framed (i.e. boxed) and putted on the page in row and colum, 
equally distibuted or not.
A loose layout wish can be the attaced one.

Any hint on where to find an howto guide, a template or a beginner
document to start from?

\setuppapersize[A0][oversized]

\setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on]

\setuplayout[page]

\definelayer[page][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]

\starttext

\startbuffer[a]
   \input ward
\stopbuffer

\startbuffer[b]
   \input ward
\stopbuffer

\setlayerframed[page][preset=lefttop,    x=2cm,y=2cm][width=5cm,align=normal]{\getbuffer[a]}
\setlayerframed[page][preset=rightbottom,x=2cm,y=2cm][width=6cm,align=normal]{\getbuffer[b]}

\startstandardmakeup\flushlayer[page]\stopstandardmakeup

\stoptext

an other alternative is columnsets (see columns.pdf)
