6-sided letter fold (TRYPTICHON) with unequal page size
Hi, I try getting a 6-sided letterfold with unequal page size to work. This is how it's supposed to look like: https://www.saxoprint.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/roll-fold-leafle... This is easy with the arranging option TRYPTICHON. *But* the page sizes are not equal and manually adjusting them shifts them not the way they're supposed to. Page 4 and 5 need to be a bit less wide to be able to fold neatly. Page width 1,2,3,6: 10cm Page width 4,5: 9.7cm How to adapt for the changed page size without an overlapping page 4 and a page with clearance to the adjacent 6th page? Suggestions welcome! Here the example you've all been waiting for: %% 6-sided letter fold %% https://www.saxoprint.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/roll-fold-leafle... \definepapersize [flyer] [width=10cm, height=21cm] \definepapersize [flyer-small] [width=9.7cm, height=21cm] \setuppapersize [flyer] [A4, landscape] \setuplayout [page] \setuparranging [TRYPTICHON] \starttext \showframe 10cm:\blank \rightaligned{\blackrule[width=10cm]}\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page 10cm:\blank[5mm] \blackrule[width=10cm]\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page 10cm:\blank[8mm] \blackrule[width=10cm]\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page %% shifts page to the left, why? \setuppapersize [flyer-small] [A4, landscape] 9.7cm:\blank[11mm] \rightaligned{\blackrule[width=9.7cm]}\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page \setuppapersize [flyer-small] [A4, landscape] 9.7cm:\blank[14mm] \blackrule[width=9.7cm]\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page \setuppapersize [flyer] [A4, landscape] 10cm:\blank[10mm] \blackrule[width=10cm]\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \stoptext Marco

Any clues, someone? Marco

Hi Marco, I'd not try that with pages and imposition, but just use two A4 pages and place my content on them - using layers or maybe column sets. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Column_Sets Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Sure, thought about that, too. But since there is a solution that seems to be built for this very purpose, I thought before rolling my own and duplicating the work, I'd just use it. And it almost works. As I haven't been using the arranging mechanism, and therefore don't know it (and its quirks), I thought there might be a simple fix. If it's not, then I'll use layers. Thanks for your input. Marco
This isn’t possible because the imposition mechanism puts the finished pages in boxes with the same size. Wolfgang

Wolfgang, isn’t it a case for \definepageshift and \setuppageshift?

Marco, how about having different backspace and cutspace values for the required pages? I think a mix of both might be required. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

For most documents this should work. \definepapersize[flyer][width=100mm,height=210mm] \setuppapersize[flyer][A4,landscape] \setuparranging [TRYPTICHON] \definepageshift[flyer][horizontal][-3pt,0pt,0pt,0pt,-3pt,-3pt] %\definepageshift[flyer][horizontal][-3pt,0pt,0pt,-1.5pt,-1.5pt,-3pt] \setuppageshift[paper][flyer] \showframe[page] \starttext \dorecurse{6}{\page[dummy]} \stoptext Wolfgang

That works, indeed. Thank you (and Wolfgang) for the suggestion. Marco
