Hello,
Using \combinepages[some-pdf][nx=3,ny=5], I get:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
However, I'd like to get: 1 5 9 2 6 10 3 7 11 4 8 12
How can one achieve this? (I want to create again a poster out of talk.pdf .)
Tobias
Hi Tobias, I can provide a first draft of a solution to your problem. The frame around the combination should you show a small problem with my correction, it is up to you change this and maybe to wikify this. \unprotect \startvariables dutch english german czech italian romanian french horizontal: horizontal horizontal horizontal horizontal horizontal horizontal horizontal \stopvariables \def\docombinepages[#1][#2]% a=perpag b=free {\bgroup \dontcomplain \getfiguredimensions[#1]% \getparameters [\??ip] [\c!alternative=\v!a, \c!n=\noffigurepages,\c!nx=2,\c!ny=2,\c!start=1,\c!stop=\!!maxcard, \c!distance=\bodyfontsize, \c!bottom=\vfill,\c!top=\vss, \c!left=\hss,\c!right=\hss, \c!before=\page,\c!after=\page,\c!inbetween=\blank, \c!frame=,\c!background=,\c!backgroundcolor=, \c!direction=\v!horizontal, % added #2]% \@@ipbefore %\doglobal\newcounter\combinedpagescounter \globallet\combinedpagescounter\@@ipstart \doifelse\@@ipalternative\v!b\!!doneafalse\!!doneatrue \if!!donea \doifelse\@@ipdirection\v!horizontal % added % loop for left to right and top to bottom combination {\doloop {\vbox to \textheight {\hsize\textwidth % ? ? \scratchdimen\@@ipdistance \!!widtha \dimexpr(\hsize-\@@ipnx\scratchdimen+\scratchdimen)/\@@ipnx\relax \!!heighta\dimexpr(\vsize-\@@ipny\scratchdimen+\scratchdimen)/\@@ipny\relax \dorecurse\@@ipny {\hbox to \hsize {\dorecurse\@@ipnx {\vbox to \!!heighta {\hsize\!!widtha \vsize\!!heighta \@@iptop \hbox to \hsize {\@@ipleft \ifnum\combinedpagescounter>\@@ipstop\relax \globallet\@@ipn\!!zerocount \else\ifnum\combinedpagescounter>\@@ipn \else \externalfigure[#1] [\c!object=\v!no, \c!page=\combinedpagescounter, \c!factor=\v!max, \c!background=\@@ipbackground, \c!backgroundcolor=\@@ipbackgroundcolor, \c!frame=\@@ipframe]% \fi\fi \@@ipright} \@@ipbottom}% \doglobal\increment\combinedpagescounter \hfil}% \hfilneg} \vfil}% \vfilneg}% \page \ifnum\combinedpagescounter>\@@ipn \exitloop\fi}} % loop for top to bottom and left to right combination {\doloop {\vbox %to \textheight {\hsize\textwidth \scratchdimen\@@ipdistance \!!widtha \dimexpr(\hsize-\@@ipnx\scratchdimen+\scratchdimen)/\@@ipnx\relax \!!heighta\dimexpr(\vsize-\@@ipny\scratchdimen+\scratchdimen)/\@@ipny\relax \hbox to \hsize {\dorecurse\@@ipnx {\@@ipleft \vbox to \textheight {\hsize\!!widtha {\dorecurse\@@ipny {\@@iptop \hbox to \hsize {\vbox to \!!heighta {\hsize\!!widtha \vsize\!!heighta \ifnum\combinedpagescounter>\@@ipstop\relax \globallet\@@ipn\!!zerocount \else\ifnum\combinedpagescounter>\@@ipn \else \externalfigure[#1] [\c!object=\v!no, \c!page=\combinedpagescounter, \c!factor=\v!max, \c!background=\@@ipbackground, \c!backgroundcolor=\@@ipbackgroundcolor, \c!frame=\@@ipframe]% \fi\fi}} \doglobal\increment\combinedpagescounter \@@ipbottom}% %\doglobal\increment\combinedpagescounter \vfil}% \vfilneg} \hfil}% \hfilneg}} \page \ifnum\combinedpagescounter>\@@ipn \exitloop\fi}} \else \doloop {\startbaselinecorrection \scratchdimen\@@ipdistance \!!widtha\dimexpr(\hsize-\@@ipnx\scratchdimen+\scratchdimen)/\@@ipnx\relax \hbox to \hsize {\dorecurse\@@ipnx {\doglobal\increment\combinedpagescounter \ifnum\combinedpagescounter>\@@ipn \else \expanded{\externalfigure[#1] [\c!page=\combinedpagescounter, \c!width=\the\!!widtha,% todo \freezedimenmacro \c!background=\@@ipbackground, \c!backgroundcolor=\@@ipbackgroundcolor, \c!frame=\@@ipframe]}% \hfill \fi}\hfillneg}% \stopbaselinecorrection \ifnum\combinedpagescounter<\@@ipn\relax \@@ipinbetween \else \exitloop \fi} \fi \@@ipafter \egroup} \protect \starttext \framed{\combinepages[your-pdf][nx=4,ny=6,direction=vertical]} \framed{\combinepages[your-pdf][nx=4,ny=6]} \stoptext Wolfgang
