I' still unable what do you mean with the margintotext option,
\slicepages cuts a page in many small pieces and you want borders
and rules and around the small pictures but where is there text?

It's very simple ;-):
\slicepages[document.pdf][width,height,margin] %width and height the slice will 
be. margin of the slice
\slicepages[document.pdf][width,height,topmargin,bottommargin,...,margintotext] 
%topmargin... are the margin of the page, and margintotext is the margin 
between the boundary of slice and text
\slicepages[document.pdf][A4,margin]
\slicepages[document.pdf][A4,margin,style] % style=thinlines, discontinued 
lines, dots, by default none



Thanks a lot for the offering.

Cheers,
Xan.

 Thanks. But is it possible to scale it and put margins at each slicepage?

not in a straight line. but you can use \slicepages to clip the image
into the wanted sizes (papersize-offset) and then centre up the
resulting pdf pages in a new document (which adds the offsets). adding
some crop marks in this second step can be helpful too.

\starttext
\useexternalfigure[test][cow.pdf][width=29cm]% [height=20cm]
\slicepages[test][n=4,height=20cm,width=29cm]
\stoptext

i leave the rest to you.

Best wishes, Peter

You can try \setuplayout[scale=0.9,location=middle]

Hi,

Xan.

I found a page [http://nxg.me.uk/docs/posters/] dedicated for 
printing posters in LaTeX. In section 3.1 Printing onto multiple 
sheets, it provides two resources:

- epssplit [http://home.clara.net/nox/software/epssplit/]
- poster [ftp://ftp.es.ele.tue.nl/pub/users/jos/poster/]

It seems that the first it's only EPS dependant. Is there any way to 
pass the ConTeXt pdf output to eps?


And it seems that the second it's only PS dependant. Is there any way 
to pass pdf to ps?


Can you CCme?
Thanks a lot,
Xan.

PS: I found nothing in contextgarden and in the official manual 
related to poster.


Ah!, perhaps some guy who want to help wants to know that in CTAN 
there is a section dedicated to posters in LaTeX:


http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/bytopic.html#posterpackages

Cheers,
Xan.


The following methods work:

1) pdf2ps prova.pdf prova.ps
./poster -iA0 -mA4 -pA0 prova.eps  prova2.pdf

2) convert prova.pdf prova.ps
./poster -iA0 -mA4 -pA0 prova.ps  prova2.pdf

The pain is that we have to move to ps or eps. pdfposter 
[http://pdfposter.origo.ethz.ch/] seems that leave this prerequisite, 
but it does not work for me as better as poster works, because the first 
does not put marks to margins in the split pages (A4 in my case).
