hi,
i'm new to the list and also pretty new to ConTeXt (but I used LaTeX for
a lot of years), but need a quite complicated
page setup right in the beginning:
i have a combination of two A5 pages and four A6 pages and i'd like to
put them on one double
sided A4 paper sheet (please use monotyped font to see the scheme correctly)
+----------+----------+
| | |
| A6 | |
| | |
+----------+ A5 +
| | |
| A6 | |
| | |
+----------+----------+
the same for the back page.
in the end cutting the A4 sheet should let the A5 pages and A6 pages
undestroyed :-)
i have tried combining
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2, dx=0mm, dy=0mm]
\setuparranging[XY]
but didn't get a satisfying result because of different page sizes
involved ...
any ideas?
cheers
artur
ps. here my starting point:
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2, dx=0mm, dy=0mm]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\starttext
Page 1. A5 Portrait \page
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 2. A5 Portrait \page
Page 3. A6 Portrait \page
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
Page 1. backside A5 Portrait \page
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 2. backside A5 Portrait \page
Page 3. backside A6 Portrait \page
\stoptext

hi again,
a simplified setup with two A6 and one A5 page on one sheet of A4 paper
(no back page in this case) would also be a great starting point ...
+----------+----------+
| | |
| A6 | |
| | |
+----------+ A5 +
| | |
| A6 | |
| | |
+----------+----------+
please also answer if it's not possible with ConTeXt at all, so i can
start looking for other options as soon as possible.
any help is appreciated

I won’t say it’s impossible but you have to write your own imposition alternative because
the predefined alternatives expect pages of the same size.

hi wolfgang & list,
what/where would be a good starting point of implementing such a feature
... ?
do i have to hack ConTeXt source code for this or can it be done with a
user defined macro?
my plan for now will be: to produce the pages with ConTeXt and produce
then directly
a PDF file, which will include the generated pages at the right position.
but a pure ConTeXt solution would be nice in the end ...
cheers

Context has a interface which can be used to save finished pages before the page
is put in the pdf file but what you want can only be done with low level tex code.
The difficulty depends on your requirements and your own tex skills to write it.

hi all,
using
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\starttext
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 1. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
Page 2. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
Page 3. A5
\input knuth
\stoptext
i ALMOST get the wished layout. the only problem is, that the A5 page is
in landscape mode.
is there a kind of quick hack to change the orientation of the A5 page
to protrait, by leaving
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
as it stands (othewise the layout doesn't function)?

Hello Artur,
Wonderful!
Would rotating the A5-text by 90° solve your problem? Not tested and I fear, the pagenumber
will remain on the side.

Hello Artur,
meanwhile I played a bit and got:
% ------------------------------------------------
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\starttext
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 1. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
Page 2. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
\rotate[rotation=90]
{
\vbox to 100mm
{
\hsize=80mm
Page 3. A5
\input knuth
}
}
\stoptext
% ------------------------------------------------
Ofcourse, the pagenumber remains, where it has been before.
Greetings,
Rudolf

hi rudolf (& list),
thank you for your 'quick hack', it's ok for my current solution. page
number, margins and background and stuff like grid alignment are still a
problem ...
but, i suppose, there must be :-) a tiny piece of code in ConTeXt, where
the rotation of the whole page can be achieved (but still treating the
page as a landscape page for the above setup arranging layer)
maybe someone knows how to do it and can share his knowledge ... ?
cheers

Do you need interaction (hyperref in latex-speak) to work? If not, one
possibility is the following.
You anyways have to do manual page-breaking because your sheets are of
different size. Create a PDF with two A6 pages followed by an A5 page (and
repeat).
Use a separate CLD (Context lua document) for arranging. Once you know the
number of pages of the pdf (you can get this in lua as well as in tex),
you can simple use something like (pseudo code)
for i = 1, no_of_page, 3 do
context.setlayer( {"page"}, {x = "0", y = "0" }, {
"\\externalfigure[file][page=i]" })
context.setlayer( {"page"}, {x = "0", y = "0.5\\textheight" }, {
"\\externalfigure[file][page=i+1]" })
context.setlayer( {"page"}, {x = "0.5\\textwidth", y = "0" }, {
"\\externalfigure[file][page=i+2]" })
end

hi,
i ended up using a very flexible (open source, LUA scriptable by option)
imposition tool:
podofoimpose (http://podofo.sourceforge.net/tools.html)
it's just an additional step to get my output done (as my ConTeXt files
are generated by a ruby script) ...
cheers

hi,
i'm new to the list and also pretty new to ConTeXt (but I used LaTeX for
a lot of years), but need a quite complicated
page setup right in the beginning:
i have a combination of two A5 pages and four A6 pages and i'd like to
put them on one double
sided A4 paper sheet (please use monotyped font to see the scheme correctly)
+----------+----------+
| | |
| A6 | |
| | |
+----------+ A5 +
| | |
| A6 | |
| | |
+----------+----------+
the same for the back page.
in the end cutting the A4 sheet should let the A5 pages and A6 pages
undestroyed :-)
i have tried combining
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2, dx=0mm, dy=0mm]
\setuparranging[XY]
but didn't get a satisfying result because of different page sizes
involved ...
any ideas?
cheers
artur
ps. here my starting point:
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2, dx=0mm, dy=0mm]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\starttext
Page 1. A5 Portrait \page
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 2. A5 Portrait \page
Page 3. A6 Portrait \page
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
Page 1. backside A5 Portrait \page
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 2. backside A5 Portrait \page
Page 3. backside A6 Portrait \page
\stoptext
