\setuppapersize[XY] not working properly with landscape orientation

\setuppapersize[XY] not working properly with landscape orientation

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

\setuppapersize[XY] is not working properly when paper orientation is
landscape. The following code results in pages of dimensions 29.5 x
29.5 cm:

\setuppapersize
	[XY][A4,landscape]
\setuppaper
	[nx=3,ny=1]
\setuparranging
	[XY]

\showframe

\starttext

second page
\page
last page
\page
first page
\page
content in
\page
the middle
\page
three pages

\stoptext

I also have an additional question: I can use
    \setupbackgrounds
        [page]
        [background=...]
for single pages which works perfectly. But how can I place a
background figure on the "whole page" (i.e. spanning across the
"middle three 'conceptual' pages", which is the "second page" when
printed on paper)

Thank you,
    Mojca

Have you tried \setupbackgrounds[paper][background=...]?

I didn't know about that before. Now I tried it, but it had no effect.

Thanks anyway,

mhh, works here (but maybe not in your example?)

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\defineoverlay[test][{\bgroup\color[red]\blackrule[height=\paperheight,width=\paperwidth]\egroup}]
\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=test]

\starttext
\null

Your example works, but the following doesn't:

\setupcolors[state=start]

\defineoverlay[test][{\bgroup\color[red]\blackrule[height=\paperheight,width=\paperwidth]\egroup}]
\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=test]
% or: \setupbackgrounds[paper][background=color,backgroundcolor=red]

\setuppapersize
	[XY][A4,landscape]
\setuppaper
	[nx=3,ny=1]
\setuparranging
	[XY]

\starttext
\null
\stoptext

Hi,

Indeed there is a calculation problem. Even if you define your papersize 
as a landscape paper with \definepapersize[Mylandscape][height=210mm, 
width=297mm]
the calculation is incorrect. Apparently the problem is not related to 
the option "landscape" or "rotated".

Are there any news about fixing page dimensions in XY papersizes?

Thanks,

hm, that sounds desperate ... watch the lunatic definition below:

             \fi\relax,
