[NTG-context] vertical offset with "i" in position-command

Re: [NTG-context] Equivalent in ConTeXt mkiv for LaTeX's picture environment?

ements and coordinates on the go, like the stuff provided by the picture package on LaTeX. (It's labels for cider bottles this time.) A third method apart from layers and metapost is the positioning environment. \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \starttext \startpositioning \position(0,0){\external

Hello, thanks to all for the answers, Peter's solution is closest to that I need. My code now is: --- \setuppapersize[A1,landscape] \setuplayout[page] \setuppositioning [state=overlay, yoffset=-12pt % Why? ] \starttext \startpositioning \position(0,0){\rotate[rotation=90

Re: [NTG-context] Placing boxes anywhere on the page

the code a bit and it's now in pack-pos.mkiv. The \startpositioning macro also accepts an optional settings argument now. Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH

Re: [NTG-context] How to use layers or other methods for precise positioning of items

cells on the right with automatically determined widths and heights. 2. grid typesetting http://pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/details.pdf you can position the stuff on the grid (still precise, but in other units than centimeters) 3. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chromatograms uses \startpositioning

Re: [NTG-context] How to use layers or other methods for precise positioning of items

\startpositioning ... \stoppositioning, which is probably something similar to layers. I never used it, but perhaps you can take a look if you find it useful. 4. many other ways for sure (depending on your needs), in worst case even plain TeX ;) I discovered that the layers were inserted
