You can let each card produce a single page (select a small aper size, e.g. A7)
and use the imposition mechanism
to print many cards on paper. I wrote a while ago a imposition shame for
flashcards which can be used for this.

Re: [NTG-context] Tesselating the sheet with a image
I someone could tell me how to place images horizontally side by side, not only vertically, then I possibly could make it with some use of \dorecurse?

[NTG-context] Tesselating the sheet with a image
Hi there,
for a card game I have this macro:
\defineoverlay[eslami][{\externalfigure[somepicture.pdf]}]
\def\esl[#1][#2][#3]{%
\startframed[frame=on,width=4.75cm,offset=overlay,align=middle,background=eslami]%
\offinterlineskip
\framed[width=4.75cm,frame=off,height=2cm]{\blank[-3mm]#1}\\
\framed[width=4.75cm,frame=off,height=3cm]{#2}\\
\framed[width=4.75cm,frame=off,height=2.4cm]{#3}
\stopframed}
\starttext
\esl[blub][blub][blub]
\stoptext
which produces cards with some text (see attachment).
Now, I only want to write in the editor the commands
\esl[blub1][blub1][blub1]
\esl[blub2][blub2[blub2]
\esl[blub3][blub3][blub3]
etc.
and these images / overlays should be placed automatically vertically
and horizontically over the sheets, like a tesselation (and after that
they will be printed and cutted).
The order of setting the cards is not important. If one page is full,
then they should be placed automatically on the next page - but
perfectly the same way, on the same locations, like on all other pages.
That is important for cutting, each card should have two sides, so they
have to match in location.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you.
Huseyin
PS.: Before this mail I accidentally sent a mail with a slightly
different code and a too big attachment, which awaited moderation, so it
can be ignored.
