Re: [NTG-context] Creating a folded meander book - imposition problem
Hi Mari, Wolfgang,
I used to make such imposition schemes, but this time Wolfgang was faster…
So even if i did not try to fold the 9 x 9 version this is the scheme:
\installpagearrangement MEANDERB
{\dosetuparrangement{3}{3}{9}{4}{4}%
\pusharrangedpageMEANDERB\poparrangedpagesXY\relax}
\def\pusharrangedpageMEANDERB#1%
{\advancearrangedpageN
\reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN
\ifcase\arrangedpageN
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageA
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageA
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}020\arrangedpageA
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}121\arrangedpageA
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}111\arrangedpageA
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}101\arrangedpageA
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}002\arrangedpageA
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}012\arrangedpageA
\or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}022\arrangedpageA
\poparrangedpages
\fi}
Thank you Wolfgang!
Willi

It works (of course it does!). Now I can create a funny booklet with
my MetaPost twiddlings. :-)
A 9-page version (3x3) would also be nice to have, to make slightly
bigger pages when printed on A4.
How do you plan to fold this?
I had to try it out on paper, but it turns out I had understood the
text correctly: the same idea, but only two cuts.
Top row, left to right: 1,2,3
Middle row, left to right: 6, 5, 4, all upside down
Bottom row, left to right: 7, 8, 9
Cuts 1-2/6-5 and 5-4/8-9. The cut paper is like letter S (or a snake
or meander, whatever you wish to call it). When folded, the back page
remains blank because it is from the underside of the paper due to the
odd number of pages - not necessarily a bad thing. I can always slap a
copyright sticker or signature on that back cover...
For trial I took an A4 and cut off the bottom to make it square that
makes quite nice 7x7 cm pages. Not handy for continuous text, but for
short poems/thoughts or graphics/art it work out. I need to play
around a bit, but then I can post the results in my blog. :-)
Thank you,
Mari

[NTG-context] Creating a folded meander book - imposition problem
I would love to create a folded meander book, but as far as I can see, that means creating a new imposition scheme and that's beyond my skill. What I want is a cross between 2*16 and x=4, y=4 (I think). Here's an explanation and a nice graphic of a 16-page (4x4) meander book: http://stamphenge.wordpress.com/minibooks/meander-accordion-folded-book/ A 9-page version (3x3) would also be nice to have, to make slightly bigger pages when printed on A4. Thank you, Mari (Slowly brewing: an article on using ConTeXt and MetaPost in papercrafts.) ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
