Hi Peter,

I must confess it isn’t totally clear to me whether I’m getting your point.

The following might achieve what you intend:

  \definelayout[odd][reset]
  \definelayout[even][reset]
  \definelayout[2][short]
  \definelayout[3][short]

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

[NTG-context] \definelayout[pagenumber][layout] behaving strangely

2022-12-08 Thread peter.hopcroft--- via ntg-context
The pdf from the tex below looks wrong to me, screenshot attached. It’s always 
like this when the page number in the second \definelayout is 1 more than the 
page number in the first. For other pairs of numbers, it behaves like I expect: 
the short layout is only on those 2 pages.

I’m using the LMTX I updated a few days ago. ConTeXt online’s pdf is the same.

%==
\showframe
\setuppapersize[A4][A3,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE]
\setuplayout[backspace=80mm, width=100mm, topspace=50mm, header=0mm, 
footer=0mm, height=200mm, margindistance=10mm, leftmargin=40mm]

\definelayout[short][backspace=80mm, width=100mm, topspace=50mm, header=0mm, 
footer=0mm, height=80mm, margindistance=10mm, leftmargin=40mm]

\starttext 
\definelayout[2][short]
\definelayout[3][short]
\dorecurse{10}{\input{knuth} }  
\stoptext 
%==

Also, https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definelayout says:
% different layout for first two pages
\definelayout[1][wide]
\definelayout[3][reset]
This does not work for me.

Cheers, Peter

 Is MkIV a option for you? The problem had been there for a while as well but 
 now it’s fixed
 you can decide what ConTeXt should do after the first page.

 With the “state” you can control whether the layout at the second page 
 should be switched
 back to the global layout with \definelayout[…][state=start] (this is the 
 default setting) or
 it should remain with \definelayout[…][state=repeat].

 \definelayout

  height=254mm,
  header=0mm,      % no header

  footer=25mm,      % big footer
  footerdistance=5mm,

 You have to set only what’s different from the global layout.

 Wolfgang and Wagner, thank you for taking the time to respond to this.

 I am using MkIV. I just updated to the latest beta (I had been running
 one beta behind). I was intentionally not using layout inheritance in
 my \definelayout commands to eliminate the possibility of a problem in
 the inheritance mechanism.

 Interaction with columnsets also seems to be part of the problem, as I
 will try to explain.

 1.  In a layout with no columnset: \definelayout[first] creates a
 unique layout for the first page and returns to the default layout on
 page 2. BUT from page 3 onwards, the text does not go all the way to
 the bottom of the text area (although \showframe indicates that the
 text area is correct). A workaround is to add
 \definelayout[current][...parameters that undo the first-page
 parameters...].

 2.  In a layout with a columnset
 (\definecolumnset[body][n=2,balancing=yes]): use of
 \definelayout[first] causes failure with the error message below.
 Ignoring warnings and forcing Context to continue results in a pdf
 with \showframe lines drawn correctly, but text not filling the whole
 column height, as described previously.

do this by using the commands \setuplayout[yourcustomlayout] and

Re: [NTG-context] \definelayout[first] does not yield to default layout on page 2

2012-01-26 Thread Peter Park Nelson
Wagner,

Thanks for pointing this out, it works:

\definelayout
  [1]
  [first page layout...]

\definelayout
  [2]
  [reset] % call for a reset when the second page is reached

\setuplayout
  [default layout...]

But the question of why \definelayout[first] does not work correctly
remains. Perhaps the developers will look into it.

Re: [NTG-context] \definelayout[first] does not yield to default layout on page 2

2012-01-26 Thread Peter Park Nelson
Oh crap, I thought Wagner's solution worked but it doesn't -- quite.

\showframe indicates that the page areas are defined correctly, and
the footer frame on page 2 and later is the correct size. But Context
is not filling the text columns all the way to the bottom; The body
text is still stopping short as though the larger footer was still in
effect.

Frustrating.

Wolfgang and Wagner, thank you for taking the time to respond to this.

I am using MkIV. I just updated to the latest beta (I had been running
one beta behind). I was intentionally not using layout inheritance in
my \definelayout commands to eliminate the possibility of a problem in
the inheritance mechanism.

Interaction with columnsets also seems to be part of the problem, as I
will try to explain.

1.  In a layout with no columnset: \definelayout[first] creates a
unique layout for the first page and returns to the default layout on
page 2. BUT from page 3 onwards, the text does not go all the way to
the bottom of the text area (although \showframe indicates that the
text area is correct). A workaround is to add
\definelayout[current][...parameters that undo the first-page
parameters...].

2.  In a layout with a columnset
(\definecolumnset[body][n=2,balancing=yes]): use of
\definelayout[first] causes failure with the error message below.
Ignoring warnings and forcing Context to continue results in a pdf
with \showframe lines drawn correctly, but text not filling the whole
column height, as described previously.

 I want to define a layout for the first page of my document with
 different header and footer formatting -- specifically, no header and
 a large footer to hold publication information. Based on examples on
 Contextgarden and this list, I think my code below is correct.
 However, the first page formatting is continued on all pages of the
 document. The effect is the same when using \definelayout[first] and
 \definelayout[1].

 Is MkIV a option for you? The problem had been there for a while as well but 
 now it’s fixed
 you can decide what ConTeXt should do after the first page.

 With the “state” you can control whether the layout at the second page 
 should be switched
 back to the global layout with \definelayout[…][state=start] (this is the 
 default setting) or
 it should remain with \definelayout[…][state=repeat].

 \definelayout
  [first]
  [width=middle,
  backspace=15mm,
  topspace=10mm,
  height=254mm,
  header=0mm,      % no header
  headerdistance=0mm,
  footer=25mm,      % big footer
  footerdistance=5mm,
  grid=yes]

 You have to set only what’s different from the global layout.

 \definelayout
  [first]
  [header=0mm,
  headerdistance=0mm,
  footer=25mm,
  footerdistance=5mm]

More testing with the old columns mechanism instead of columnset:

\startcolumns[n=2] produces roughly the same result as no columns, the
text stops short of the bottom of the page. However, the
\definelayout[current] workaround I mentioned does not solve the
problem in this case.

I'm quite willing to abandon the columnset mechanism if I can get a
working solution with columns.

Re: [NTG-context] \definelayout

2011-12-28 Thread Peter Park Nelson
Update with a minimal working example.

If a layout is specified for the first page
(\definelayout[first][...=...], that specification is carried on
through all subsequent pages; the layout does not return to the
default specified with \setuplayout[...=...] on the second page.

If a layout is specified for a single later page
(\definelayout[3][...=...]), that specification is carried on too. In
the case of header/footer size, the body text overruns the footer area
on subsequent pages. In the case of backspace (text width), the first
paragraph on the page with the new layout is the default layout width
but the rest are OK. (I have seen this width issue mentioned before
and it may not be possible to change this behavior, but the
header/footer size is a problem for me.)

Thanks.

 When context checks the layout (happens with \starttext and when it starts 
 a new page) it test for the following defined layouts:

 • “pagenumber”
 • “-pagenumber”
 • “last” (is only used for the last page of the document)

 own layout but in this case
 you have to enable it with \setuplayout[name].

 One of the new features in MkIV is that layout parameters can be inherited, 
 e.g. when
 you define a layout with the name “one” {\definelayout[one][..,..=..,..]) 
 and another one with
 the name two (\definelayout[two][one][..,..=..,..]) this will take the 
 values from one of there

 Hi Wolfgang,

 I modified the example (hopefully in a meaningful manner). I get the desired

[NTG-context] definelayout and setuplayout not possible in current beta?

2009-11-11 Thread Andreas Schneider
Hi,

as it seems, setuplayout fails with a predefined layout in both MkIV and 
MkII. The attached example produces the following error:

! Missing number, treated as zero.

Is the ConTeXt code right below?
Also, is there any way to change the layout for the first page?
\definelayout[first] [
\definelayout[1][...]
\definetext[partStart1][header][\vbox{Chapter 1 \vskip5pt Author}]
\setuphead[part][header=partStart1]
for consistency i'd go for
\definetext
  [partStart1]
  [header]
  [\vbox{\strut Chapter 1 \vskip.25\bodyfontsize Author}]
scales nicer with changes in font and other specs

Re: [NTG-context] \definelayout question

2005-03-03 Thread Adam Lindsay
Paul,

I can't really address the bulk of your question (I consider myself a
beginner in the art of the \layout, and am still working through some of
its invocation options), but I do notice a couple things:

Paul Tremblay said this at Thu, 3 Mar 2005 02:45:01 -0500:

\definelayout[odd][
 header=2in, % the space for headers
 footer=2in, % the space for footers
 height=7in % the height of the body text
]

This (nominally, without use of page=high or some such) leaves three
inches for the body text. Unlike the right/left margin, header/footer
space is considered part of the textblock's height. I don't know the
historical reasons for this, but it makes a kind of sense.

\definelayout[even][
 header=2in, % the space for headers
 footer=2in, % the space for footers
 height=4in % the height of the body text
]

This, then, leaves zero height for the main body text, which is why I see
only a single line typeset on even pages.

\showframe is your esteemed friend in debugging these matters.
