[NTG-context] Re: Mixed page formats (figures)

2 Apr 2003

      Hi all,

I asked a question about mixed page formats and got a working solution, s.
below. Unforunately, it does not work with figures (PDF), s. my snippet:

\useexternalfigure[EnrichmentRulesBeispiel1][EnrichmentRulesBeispiel1]
\rotate [width=\textheight,
         height=\textwidth,
         rotation=90]
    {
\placefigure[fig:EnrichmentRulesBeispiel1]{Beispiel: Regeln für eine
komplexe Transformation}
{\externalfigure[EnrichmentRulesBeispiel1][factor=broad]}
}

Interestingly, ConTexT takes care of the width and heigth configuratios,
i.e. the figure is much too wide. But it is not rotated. If I leave out the
\rotate command, the figure appears in the correct scale, unrotated though.

Btw: Is there a way to let the rotated result float, so that it uses a page
alone? \page forces a break, so I would have to place the commands at the
correct position.

Thanks a lot, Chris.

Hello Patrick,
your snippet produced the expected results with one difference / remaining
problem:
On the A3 page, only the left half of the space is used, i.e. the right
(additional)
half of the sheet is empty. The frames indicate, that the width is to
small.
Do I have to explicitly extend it by setuplayout or is there a simpler or
more correct to achieve it?
I have actually looked for a rotate command but I didn't find it. Is it
undocumented?
Thanks a lot for your assistance, Chris.

Hello,
please try the file below and ask again if you need more help.
==================================================
\showframe
\starttext
\input tufte
\page
\rotate [width=\textheight,
         height=\textwidth,
         rotation=90]
    {\placetable{My Caption}{
    \starttabulate[|p|p|]
    \NC \input tufte \NC \input tufte \NC\NR
    \stoptabulate
}}
\input tufte
\page
\setuppapersize[A3,landscape][A3,landscape]
\input tufte
% and back again
\page
\setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait]
\input tufte
\stoptext
==================================================
