columnsets

columnsets

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello,

I have a question regarding columnsets:

==================================================
\definecolumnset[two][n=2]

%\setupcolumnset[two][1][width=4cm]
%\setupcolumnset[two][2][width=8cm]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[two]

\dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par}

\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
==================================================

a) I keep getting a blank page after the columnset. How do I get rid
  of it?

b) the setupcolumnset has some effect (making columns smaller) but
   they are both the same width. Why?

i ran into that too, it's a bug (for the moment remove the \pagebreak in 
the stopcolumnset macro)

this is work in progress, has to do with synchronization; you cannot change 
the width mid-paragraph btw but it's supposed to (going to) work reasonable

[i messed up a few things when trying to handle balancing]

Can't something like this be implemented via appropriate
parshapes?

The same. I need to adapt my ConTeXt sources anyway every time I try to use them...

I have used and liked columnsets, so I vote for their improvement. I
find them particularly useful when composing A0 (scientific) posters. I
will gladly adapt to their evolution.

Hi,

I'm currently reimplementing columnsets and I'm wondering how many users 
there are of this mechanism. How bad is it if the more obscure features 
go away and others show up.

Hans

Here is some crude test file with layers and columnsets.
Perhaps you find out what you're looking for.
I don't really understand it any more... ;-)

\definelayer[test]
\setupcolors[state=start]
%\setupbackgrounds[page][backgroundcolor=yellow,background={color,foregr 
ound,test}]
%\setlayer[test][x=10cm,y=0cm]{\externalfigure[koe]}
\setuplayer[test][position=yes]

\tracecolumnsettrue \showgrid

\starttext
\definecolumnset[vier][n=4,distance=6mm]
%\definecolumntextarea		[two] [right][x=5,y=45,nx=2,ny=18,state=start]
%\setupcolumntextareatext	[two]  
[right][{\externalfigure[koe][width=\hsize]}]

\startcolumnset[vier]

\input tufte

\placefigure[tblr]{}{}

\input zapf

\input tufte
\placefigure[btrl:3]{}{\framed{test}}

\input zapf
\input tufte

Columnsets

[Michal Kvasnicka]

Good evening.

Is somewhere any general manual for columnsets? Or some general demo in 
english interface? I really like the concept but I don't know how to use it. 
(Moreover, I've all examples Mr. Hagen sent me when my harddisk crashed.)

Many thanks and greetings,
M.K.
