Hi again,
in my current book project there are sets of full-page graphics, where
there’s first a drawing, to be printed on transparent paper, followed
by a water colour picture as background, i.e. a series of
right page: foreground graphic
right page: background graphic
The transparent pages are left out in pagination.
Between chapters (i.e. stories), the following macro does what I want:
\def\DoublePic#1{
\page[right] % foreground picture on transparent paper
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]\setuppagenumber[state=stop]\par
\resetlayer[bg]
\setlayer[bg]{\externalfigure[#1-fore][height=\dimexpr(\paperheight
+6mm)]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg]
\strut\par % page needs some content
\page[right] % background picture on normal paper
\setuppagenumber[state=start]\par
\resetlayer[bg]
\setlayer[bg]{\externalfigure[#1-back][height=\dimexpr(\paperheight
+6mm)]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg]
\strut\par
\page
\setuppagenumbering[state=start]
}
Now, the publisher would like to move the picture pages in the middle
of the stories, i.e. I need them to float "here" without manual page
breaking.
How can I achieve that?
I’d also appreciate enhancements to my macro above.
(MkIV latest beta on OSX Intel.)
Thank you very much in advance!
Greetlings, Hraban
