You have to set the right values for the paper with the second argument when
you use rotation and mirroring.
\setuppapersize[A5,90][A5,landscape]
%\setuppapersize[A5,180][A5]
%\setuppapersize[A5,270][A5,landscape]
%\setuppapersize[A5,mirrored][A5]
%\setuppapersize[A5,rotated][A5,landscape]
%\setuppapersize[A5,negative]
\starttext
\input zapf
\stoptext
The negative keyword doesn’t work for me, I even tried a minimal example with
the internal function but got no result.
\setuppapersize[A6]
\starttext
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=blue,foregroundcolor=red]{Blue

[NTG-context] options for \setuppapersize
Dear list, I’m trying to explain the options of \setuppapersize in a book, but I’m not sure they work.

Perhaps with something like:
\scale[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{\externalfigure[foo.pdf][orientation=90]}

Re: [NTG-context] \setuppapersize[XY] not working properly with landscape orientation
Hi, Indeed there is a calculation problem. Even if you define your papersize as a landscape paper with \definepapersize[Mylandscape][height=210mm, width=297mm] the calculation is incorrect. Apparently the problem is not related to the option "landscape" or "rotated".

[NTG-context] \setuppapersize[XY] not working properly with landscape orientation
Hello, \setuppapersize[XY] is not working properly when paper orientation is landscape. The following code results in pages of dimensions 29.5 x 29.5 cm: \setuppapersize [XY][A4,landscape] \setuppaper [nx=3,ny=1] \setuparranging [XY] \showframe \starttext second page \page last page \page first page \page content in \page the middle \page three pages \stoptext I also have an additional question: I can use \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=...] for single pages which works perfectly. But how can I place a background figure on the "whole page" (i.e. spanning across the "middle three 'conceptual' pages", which is the "second page" when printed on paper) Thank you, Mojca ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

This works if I change \paperwidth and \paperheight to
\printpaperwidth and \printpaperheight and change the dimensions
slightly.

[NTG-context] simplify \setuppapersize call
Should \setuppapersize automatically assume the same typesetting and printing papersizes, if no optional argument is given? Then you could do \setuppapersize[letter] instead of \setuppapersize[letter][letter] Right now \setuppapersize[letter] \starttext hello \stoptext produces a mixture of letter and A4 dimensions: $ texexec --pdf a > /dev/null && pdfinfo a.pdf | grep 'Page size' Page size: 612 x 841.89 pts Shouldn't it be either 612x792 (letter) or 595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4)? tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2006.03.25 13:21 cont-en : ver: 2006.03.25 13:21 fmt: 2006.4.11 mes: english It might be because I once ran 'texconfig' to set the default papersize to letter? -Sanjoy ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] French, ? : ; !, and spacing, \setuppapersize problem
Hello, (Passing on a question.) Is there a simple methode to automatically add a thinspace before "?", "!", ":" and ";" as it is done commonly in French? This would make typing easier and would allow to change a thinspace into a normal space etc. In addition, I have the following problem. I downloaded the latest (?) ConTeXt - 2004.4.9 -, installed it in my $HOMETEXMF tree, added two symlinks to make it work with an old TDS tree texmf.cnf configuration, run texhash and fmtutil. TeX works rather nicely, except \setuppagersize. Using \setuppapersize[a5][a4] or a5 a5 I get always one A4 page on a A4 sheet of paper. Using [a5][a4,landscape] I get a A4 paper on a sheet of paper which is as wide and high as the height of an A4 paper. Can anyone reproduce this? Or is this due to my configuration (e.g. a file present in the system TEXMF tree which is not in $HOMETEXMF and gets included)?
