Re: [NTG-context] different page sizes on one sheet
hi rudolf ( list),
thank you for your 'quick hack', it's ok for my current solution. page
number, margins and background and stuff like grid alignment are still a
problem ...
but, i suppose, there must be :-) a tiny piece of code in ConTeXt, where
the rotation of the whole page can be achieved (but still treating the
page as a landscape page for the above setup arranging layer)
maybe someone knows how to do it and can share his knowledge ... ?
cheers

i ALMOST get the wished layout. the only problem is, that the A5
page is in landscape mode.
is there a kind of quick hack to change the orientation of the A5
page to protrait, by leaving
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
as it stands (othewise the layout doesn't function)?

Hello Artur,
meanwhile I played a bit and got:
%
\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\starttext
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 1. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
Page 2. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
\rotate[rotation=90]
{
\vbox to 100mm
{
\hsize=80mm
Page 3. A5
\input knuth
}
}
\stoptext
%
Ofcourse, the pagenumber remains, where it has been before.
Greetings,
Rudolf

Do you need interaction (hyperref in latex-speak) to work? If not, one
possibility is the following.
You anyways have to do manual page-breaking because your sheets are of
different size. Create a PDF with two A6 pages followed by an A5 page (and
repeat).
Use a separate CLD (Context lua document) for arranging. Once you know the
number of pages of the pdf (you can get this in lua as well as in tex),
you can simple use something like (pseudo code)
for i = 1, no_of_page, 3 do
context.setlayer( {page}, {x = 0, y = 0 }, {
\\externalfigure[file][page=i] })
context.setlayer( {page}, {x = 0, y = 0.5\\textheight }, {
\\externalfigure[file][page=i+1] })
context.setlayer( {page}, {x = 0.5\\textwidth, y = 0 }, {
\\externalfigure[file][page=i+2] })
end
