[NTG-context] Float on opposite page
Hi,
I have a problem with float positioning. I would like to have text on
even pages and text on odd pages. I tried:
- \placetable[opposite] but then the tables are not included.
- \placetable[rightpage] but then each table is on a new page.
I would like to have my figures/tables on a new even page, but if 2
figures/tables fit on one page, they should not be on two different
pages but together on the same even page (I was thinking opposite
should do that).
Thanks for your help
Charles

Thanks but it doesn't work (TeX capacity exceeded) and anyway the
figures would not be centered on the page.

[NTG-context] Opposite Blocks or Spread Based Layouts
Hi ConTeXt ComRaDes, Trying to design a travelogue book with photos on the left page, and text on the right. Tried \startopposite to get an opposite block, and turned it on with \setupoppositeplacing[state=start], to no discernable effect. Am I doing something wrong, or is there another way to do this? Any tips much appreciated. Corin Royal Drummond P.S. My poetry book is coming along nicely. I'll be sure to send along a link when it's finished. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Wolfgang,
Thanks for the solution. That pretty much get's me what I need.
Still wondering what's up with opposite blocks though, if any one
knows. \startopposite \setupoppositeplacing et al.

No one ever used it, so opposite float placements died a lonely death from malnutrition. Seems like a lovely concept for laying out photo books with text, but I can route around.

Mostly for practical reasons: it depends on how complex your pages
really are. In a document with complicated headers and footers and
different margin widths, it could become quite a challenge to make
everything in the final printed pages come out in the right spot.
Other issues are things like: you 'll have to fool the page number
conversion, and such pages will frustrate impositioning software
completely (putting all float pages at the end results in the same
practical problems).
But if such things are not a concern, then it will definately beat
my solution especially for a long document. Manual page breaking
is tedious at best, and really only workable for static texts.

Hi all,
there is a way to move all text to the right page and put the figures
on the left page. The hard thing is to get all figures before the text
and not on the following one. You can do this by manipulating the
pagefloats macro. I created a minimum example that shows the results
and effects.
\setupfloat[figure][default=leftpage]
\setupframed[width=8cm,height=12cm]
\def\flushpagefloats
{\doifoddpageelse
{\ifvoid\collectedleftpagefloats
\ifvoid\collectedrightpagefloats\else
\unvbox\collectedrightpagefloats
\page
%\the\everytopofpage
\fi
\fi}
{\ifvoid\collectedleftpagefloats
\dontleavehmode\page % added
\else
\unvbox\collectedleftpagefloats
\page
%\the\everytopofpage
\fi
\ifvoid\collectedrightpagefloats\else
\unvbox\collectedrightpagefloats
\page
%\the\everytopofpage
\fi}%
\ifvoid\collectedpagefloats\else
% message
\unvbox\collectedpagefloats
\fi}
\def\oddpagenumbers#1{\ifodd\pageno\the\numexpr(\pageno-1)/2+1\relax
\else\fi} \defineconversion [oddpagenumber][\oddpagenumbers]
%\setuppagenumbering[conversion=oddpagenumber]

You can try to start with this and adapt it to your own requirements.
It would be also better to write a macro that did all the dirty things
like place the figure on the left page, make a page break etc.

Thank you Sanjoy, Hans and Taco for the suggestions made.
My interpretation of Taco's remark is that Sanjoy's solution might not
work as expected, is that correct?
My document is rather long, so manual page breaking is not my preferred
way of doing it.
Myself I was thinking that the floats belonging to odd page n could be
put on even page n+1, and then try to renumber the pages (i.e. PDF page
n+1 gets page number n-1 printed) and then reshuffle the PDF pages.
Would that work?

[NTG-context] Force all floats on opposite even pages
Dear all, For the document I am currently working on I would like to have some control on the placing of the floats. What I would like is that all text is put on the odd pages (n), and that all floats are put on the opposite even pages (n-1). This can result in sub-optimal breaking of pages, but that depends on the ratio of the amount of floats versus the amount of text. Does anyone have an idea how to tackle this? Has something similar been done already? Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Re: [NTG-context] Force all floats on opposite even pages
What I would like is that all text is put on the odd pages (n), and that all floats are put on the opposite even pages (n-1). One option is to use a big papersize, e.g. A3, equivalent to two regular pages side by side. Then put the floats in the new left margin, where the new left margin is the old even-numbered page. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R.
