Setuparranging[XY] and arrangement of labels

Setuparranging[XY] and arrangement of labels

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello all,

I have a reason to print labels to page in "vertical mode". This means, 
that labels are place to page underneath first and then abreast (ie top 
to bottom first and then subsequently left to rigth).

According to the example of the way they are now labels numbered :

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
10 11 12
13 14 15

but I want to be numbered:

1 6 11
2 7 12
3 8 13
4 9 14
5 10 15

Exist any simple way in \setuparranging [XY] mode (not in columns mode) 
for this?
If it will not somehow just does not matter. Otherwise I'll do sort of 
data that I print to the labels (but otherwise I find it quite helpful 
as I could keep my original gear mechanism).

Thanx Jaroslav

Here is my minimal example:


\newdimen\labelwidth\labelwidth=30mm
\newdimen\labelheight\labelheight=20mm
\newdimen\disthor\disthor=1mm
\newdimen\distvert\distvert=1mm
\newcount\counthor\counthor=5
\newcount\countvert\countvert=10

\definepapersize[label][width=\labelwidth,height=\labelheight]
\setuppapersize [label][A4]


\definemeasure[topspace] [\dimexpr(\printpaperheight-(\labelheight + 
\distvert)*\countvert+\distvert)/2\relax]
\definemeasure[backspace] [\dimexpr(\printpaperwidth-(\labelwidth + 
\disthor)*\counthor+\disthor)/2\relax]


\setuppaper     
[topspace=\measure{topspace},backspace=\measure{backspace},dx=\disthor,dy=\distvert,nx=\counthor,ny=\countvert]
\setuplayout    [page] 
[topspace=\measure{topspace},backspace=\measure{backspace}]
\setuplayout    [page]
\setuplayout    [location=middle]
\setuparranging [XY]

\showframe[edge]

\starttext
\dorecurse{50}{{\recurselevel\page}}
\stoptext

This isn't possible with the XY arrangement but when you use two documents,
one with the labels and another one where you arrange them.


Document 1:

\definepapersize[label][width=30mm,height=20mm]
\setuppapersize [label][label]

\starttext
...
\stoptext


Document 2:

\definemeasure[topspace] [\dimexpr(210mm-31mm*5)/2\relax]
\definemeasure[backspace][\dimexpr(297mm-20mm*10)/2\relax]

\setuplayout[page][topspace=\measure{topspace},backspace=\measure{backspace}] 

\setuplayout[page]
\starttext
\combinepages[Document 1][nx=5,ny=10,distance=1mm,alternative=vertical]
\stoptext

Thanx Wolfgang for your advice, it is very interesting for me, and even 
though I do not use it now, I'm sure I will someday come in handy..
