Subject: Overview screen containing multiple pages
Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2011 13:37:07 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1111201322530.21486@ybpnyubfg.ybpnyqbznva> (raw)
There is a python script called impressive
(http://impressive.sourceforge.net/) that adds some eyecandy to
presentations. One of the features that it has is an overview screen at
the end, like this: http://impressive.sourceforge.net/oview.png
This is similar to the overview screen used in the ConTeXt showcase by
Hans: http://pragma-ade.com/show-man.pdf
I want to include such an overview in my slides, but am not sure if it can
be done without using a separate tex file. My slides look like this (sorry
Thomas, I am not using simpleslides at the moment)
\starttext
\startsection[title={...}]
....
\stopsection
\startsection[...]
...
\stopsection
\stoptext
Each section spans over multiple pages. What I want is to have a last page
which is equivalent to the following:
\startcombination[n*n]
{\externalfigure[\jobname][page=<page-number-of-first-section>]}{}
{\externalfigure[\jobname][page=<page-number-of-second-section>]}{}
....
\stopcombination
I tried a simple test case
\starttext
\input knuth
\page
\externalfigure[\jobname][page=1,width=0.3\textwidth]
\stoptext
but that does not include the first page. So, I think that what I want is
not possible, but I wonder if others have different ideas on how this
might be implemented (after all \setuparranging does manage to do
something similar without the need for a separate tex file).
