[NTG-context] Asking help for better way to make tickets.

Dear all,

I’d like to make a ticket on A4 as follows:

1. Use all of A4(no margin, no header, no footer,…)
2. Arange 12 tickets in the form of 3 x 4 on one page,
3. Two rows are same,
4. Numbers in the center of the ticket which is increasing.

I use the following code to make it.

but I think that there is a better and simpler way to do it which I don’t know.

I hope that someone give me a nicer way to do it.

Thank you for reading.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

\setuppapersize[A4]%[A4]
\setuplayout[
  width=210mm,
  height=297mm,
  topspace=0pt,
  backspace=0pt,
  header=0mm,
  footer=0mm,
  margin=0mm,
  bottomspace=0mm   
]
\startuseMPgraphic{ticket}{i,j}
path p,q;
pair A,B;
p := unitsquare xyscaled (67mm,73mm);
A := point 0.5 of p;
B := point 2.5 of p;

draw p;
label(textext("Text"), .25A+.75B );
label(textext("\tfd " & decimal (3*\MPvar{i}-\MPvar{j})), center p);
label(textext("Text"), .75A + .25B);
\stopuseMPgraphic

Here's a suggestion:

\definepapersize
  [jeong]
  [width=67mm,
   height=73mm]

\setuppapersize
  [jeong]
  [A4]

\setuppaper
  [nx=3, ny=4,
   dx=4.4mm, dy=1.5mm]

\setuparranging
  [XY]

\setuplayout
  [page]

\setuppagenumbering
  [state=stop]

\setupmakeup
  [standard]
  [align=middle]

\setupblank
  [2*line]

\showframe
\starttext
  \dorecurse{12}{%%
    \startstandardmakeup
        Text \blank
        {\tfd\recurselevel} \blank
        Text
    \stopstandardmakeup
    \page}
\stoptext

That's how I'd approach it. Not sure if it meets all your
requirements, though.

Marco

Not sure if it is 'nicer' but I use a table to print addresses onto sticky labels. The code should be fairly easy to adapt or just borrow some ideas.

Dear Bruce and Marco,

Thank you for your suggestions. 
I think that it would be good enough to replace my code.
I learned new method which doesn’t use metaFun.

I’ll modify what you suggested for my purpose.

Thank you again.

Best regards,

Dalyoung
