[NTG-context] Page with minimum margins, maximum text width/textheight
How do I create a page with maximum text width, text height? I tried using \setuplayout with stuff like [textwidth=\pagewidth-1cm], but nothing happens. I need empty pages with minimum margins, just to be able to put other PDF's in that space.

Re: [NTG-context] Page with minimum margins, maximum text width/textheight
I was already trying a lot of stuff with \setuplayout. I've found mentioning somewhere that you can adapt the backspace, topspace, height and width.So it must be something like \setuplayout[backspace=1cm,topspace=1cm,height=\paperheight,width=\paperwidth] but I forgot how to do something like width=\paperwidth-2cm (not like that obviously, but I have forgotten how to do simple addition and subtraction with dimensions in TeX) So, how do I set a margin of 1cm all around the makeup area?

See TeXbook p. 118f.

Does the following fit your needs?
·
\newdimen\myborderoffset \myborderoffset=1cm
\definelayout[mypage][page]
\setuplayout [mypage][
backspace=\myborderoffset,
topspace=\myborderoffset,
]
\setuplayout[mypage]
\showframe
\def\docowpage{%
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[cow][width=\vsize,height=\hsize]}\page%
}
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{\docowpage}
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Page with minimum margins, maximum text width/textheight
Thanks.
My external figures are PDFs with all weird sizes, the smaller ones, I want to
print on portrait A4 (if they are more landscape than portrait, they will be
rotated) and the larger ones on landscape A3 (again, rotated when they are more
portrait than landscape). Distorting is not allowed. So far I am doing stuff
like
\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=max]
\page\setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait]
\setuplayout[backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm,width=277mm,height=190mm,header=5mm,footer=1mm]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf][orientation=90]
\page\setuppapersize[A3,landscape][A3,landscape]
\setuplayout[backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm,width=400mm,height=277mm,header=5mm,footer=1mm]
\externalfigure[foobar.pdf][factor=max]
\externalfigure[foo2.pdf][orientation=90]
\externalfigure[foo3.pdf][orientation=90]
But thanks to your suggestion, I am now doing
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[foo.pdf][width=\vsize]}
The 'orientation' stuff of external figure doesn't work at all. It messes up
size to fit and it rotates around points such that images are rotated partly
out of the page. Your method works.
