XY arrangement

XY arrangement

Hi Hans,

I should print on a sheet of etiquettes made by Avery. The topspace as 
the bottomspace is 15 mm the left and right non printable area is 7 mm.
On the rest of the printing area there are 21 etiquettes with a 
horizontal distance of 3mm. There is no vertical gap in the columns of 
etiquettes.

I setup the XY arrangement. The etiquettes look o.k. The problem is, 
that Context ignores the topspace and backspace as setup in \setuppaper.

For your reference I add a minimal example.

Could you please have a look why the mentioned parameters are ignored?

Thanks, kind regards
Willi

ha, you looked into the source, well, see end of page-imp for a special 
paper size XY where these are used.

% \setuppapersize [XY][A4]
% \setuppaper     [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm,dx=1mm,dy=1mm,nx=2,ny=6]
% \setuplayout    [page] [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm]
% \setuplayout    [page]
% \setuplayout    [location=middle]
% \setuparranging [XY]
% \showframe
%
% \starttext \dorecurse{30}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext

in your case: just don't set the width and height because they are 
calculated automatically; f you want topskip etc i need to implement that

of course you can add the offsets to the layout:

%     width=196mm,
]%     height=267mm]
\setuplayout
    [topspace=19mm,
   backspace=11mm,
