arranging and cut marks

arranging and cut marks

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

In recent versions (didn't test any other than the latest two betas,  
and only MkIV) the "3SIDE" imposition schema, written by Willi Egger  
in 2003, doesn’t work any more; the error says something about "the  
letter 6 is not a valid prefix".

So I deleted "3SIDE" from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition - I  
can replace it with "XY" like this:

My setup is:
\definepapersize[filius][width=92mm, height=172mm]
\setuppapersize	[filius][A4,landscape]
\setuppaper     [nx=3, ny=1, dx=0mm, dy=0mm, topspace=19mm,  
backspace=10.5mm]
\setuplayout    [page] [topspace=19mm, backspace=10.5mm,  
location=middle, marking=on]
\setuparranging [XY]

For the records: You need to call \setuppaper[nx=3,ny=1] *before*  
\setuparranging[XY] !

Remaining problem (and difference to "3SIDE"): I don’t get cut marks  
*between* those imposed pages, only the outer ones appear.
Can I change that, and how?

Here's usable test setup:

\setuppapersize [A7][A4,landscape]
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=footer]
\setuplayout [margin=0pt,width=fit]
\setupbackgrounds [text][text][background=screen,backgroundscreen=0.7]
%\setupcolors [state=start]
\setuplayout [location=middle,marking=on]
\setuppaper[nx=4, ny=2]
\setuparranging [XY]

\def\Style{[XY 4*2]}

\startbuffer[Fakepage]
	\strut
	\blank[force]
	\midaligned{\Style}
	\vfill
	\midaligned{This is page \recurselevel}
	\vfill
\stopbuffer

\setupheadertexts[\CONTEXT]

\starttext
% \showframe
\dorecurse{16}{\getbuffer[Fakepage]\page}

\stoptext

[Willi Egger]

There have been  a lot of arranging schemes included in the core in the meantime. The 3SIDE is included as well. - I will have to check what is going on.
