Re: [NTG-context] Is it possible to define a custom imposition schema? (sure it is, but how?)

2012-05-30 Thread Marco Pessotto
As a follow-up, just in case someone will search the archive for a similar problem, this is my “solution”, regardless of the question if the imposition scheme is really suitable for binding or not. It's quite an hack, but it seems to work and is way simpler for a profane like me to create a

Thanks - I sorted it out by using a standard BibTeX .bib file. I was trying to do it all in one file, and finding the bib module documentation quite confusing. And for what it's worth, I'm using mkii. -Alasdair On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 4:09 PM, Andy Thomas andytho...@web.de wrote: Hello, I

Hello, I apologize to bumb my own post, but does anyone know, where to put sample.bib? Or did the default search path for bibtex change? The basic example on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography_mkiv does not work as well, because of the same reason. I would then try to update the wiki.

Well then in case anyone needs such a transformation, I've constructed the (non-unique) transformation T t:=angle(f,e); q:=e++f; p:=(c*f-d*e)/q; s:=(c*e+d*f)/(q**2); transform T; T:=identity rotated t xscaled p yscaled q slanted s shifted (a,b); This yields T=(a,b,c,d,e,f). Troy
