Re: [***SPAM***] Re: Understanding the imposing-mechanism

Hi Huseyin,

This is not a direct answer to your question, but have you tried
reading the reference manual's chapter 3, on page design [1]? It is a
rather complete overview of (a) page layout, and (b) positioning
multiple pages on a sheet. In particular the \setuppaper command [2]
may interest you.

Cheers,
Sietse

P.s: Once you've found the answer, it would be nice if you could edit
the wiki page on Imposition, adding a section describing how to offset
the imposed pages on the sheet. Just (make an account and) log in, and
click "Edit" in the top right corner. If you are not familiar with
wiki code, just write the info in plain text and I'll add the wiki
markup for you.
