Subject: Double-sided documents with MetaFun's Field[Text][Text]
Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2022 07:49:27 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4386378.LvFx2qVVIh@sreeramtplt> (raw)
Dear list,
I have a double-sided document in which I want to draw certain page
backgrounds on the right (odd) and left (even) pages. Here is an example
%%% SOF
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout
[backspace=4cm,
leftmargin=4cm,
cutspace=2cm,
rightmargin=2cm,
leftmargindistance=0cm,
rightmargindistance=0cm,
header=2cm,
footer=2cm,
topspace=1cm,
bottomspace=1cm,
top=1cm,
bottom=1cm,
width=middle,
height=fit]
\startuseMPgraphic{page}
StartPage;
draw Area[Text][Text]
shifted (InnerMarginWidth,BottomHeight+FooterHeight);
draw Field[Text][Text] withcolor blue;
StopPage;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[page][\useMPgraphic{page}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=page]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \page}
\stoptext
%%% EOF
In the resulting PDF the Field[Text][Text] path is not positioned (/computed?)
correctly, while the manually positioned Area[Text][Text] path is as expected.
So, it seems that the margin widths and other distance are updated for each
odd, even page but Field[Text][Text] is still wrong? The Field[Text][Text]
path appears on every page as though it is on an odd (right) page.
Have I missed something?
Thanks,
śrīrāma (Sreeram)
