Another \setuparranging

Another \setuparranging

[Michal Kvasnicka]

Good evening.

Is there any SIMPLE way to add one more arranging scheme to
\setuparranging command? I regularly typeset some document on a piece of
paper that is 1/3 of A4, and want to print it in such a way that three
of them are positioned side to side on one A4 paper. I've been doing it
with pstops utility. Isn't there a simple way how make \setuparranging
command to do it?

And one more related question: Usually the document has just one page,
so in the print version there are three same pages side to side to each
other. Any hint how to do it?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Michal

There is no implemented 3SIDE arranging. However there is XY 
arranganging. Mostly this is used to fill sticker-sheets. - Still this 
can also be used to
put three pages on one sheet. Consider the following setup:

\definepapersize[MyPaper][height=210mm, width=95mm]

 \setuppapersize [MyPaper][A4,landscape]
 \setuplayout    [location=middle,marking=on]
\setuppaper
   [topspace=10mm,
   backspace=0mm,
   dx=5mm,
   dy=0mm,
   nx=3,
   ny=1,
   margin=0,
   width=297mm,
   height=210mm]
\setuplayout
    [topspace=10mm,
    backspace=6mm,
    margin=0mm,
    width=75mm,
    height=190mm,
    header=0mm,
    footer=0mm]

 \setuparranging [XY]

You will have to play with the different options.

There is. You wrote it yourself for me:

\unprotect
% New pageimposition scheme 3SIDE by Willi Egger 21-07-2003
% put this in your environment or into page-imp.tex

\installpagearrangement 3SIDE
    {\dosetuparrangement{3}{1}{6}{4}{2}%
         \pusharrangedpageTHREESIDE\poparrangedpagesAB\relax}

\def\pusharrangedpageTHREESIDE#1% Willi's approach
   {\doglobal\increment\arrangedpageN
    \reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN
    \ifcase\arrangedpageN
    \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageA %  1
    \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageA %  2
    \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}020\arrangedpageA %  3
    \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageB %  4
    \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageB %  5
    \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}020\arrangedpageB %  6
         \poparrangedpages
    \fi}

Yes I know!
I remember though the discussion on this topic. Therefore I did not 
mention it. - Yes I imported my patch from an old page-imp.tex and it 
worked without problems in the latest version of Context.
