Subject: Size of the last shipped page by Lua?
Date: Wed, 07 Sep 2016 17:12:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.ynfduea162epfj@lpr> (raw)

Hello,

is there a way to detect by Lua what is the size (width and height) of the last shipped page?

Especially I'm interested in the situation when page via \start/\stopTEXpage has been shipped, like:

----
\startluacode
   LastPageSize = function()
     -- What to come here?
     return w, h
   end
\stopluacode

\starttext
   \startluacode
      local w, h = LastPageSize()

      context("w="..w .. ", h=" ..h) -- Should give "w=210mm, h=297mm" (or other units)
   \stopluacode

   \startTEXpage[with=10cm,height=15cm]
   \stopTEXpage

   \startluacode
      local w, h = LastPageSize()

      context("w="..w .. ", h=" ..h) -- Should give "w=100mm, h=150mm" (or other units)
   \stopluacode
\stoptext
----

This would be very useful when I need to insert a page of size of the last page to move to odd page when A4 and A3 pages are mixed, to allow simple duplex printing on the printer.

So - how about 'LastPageSize()' function?

Best regards,

Lukas
