Still struggling to get a poster with Context. Somehow I am puzzling why almost all my collegue who are accustumed to write with latex+revtex for chem-math-phys journals then turn to powerpoint to produce poster and/or presentation, although "ConTeXt is the layout oriented alternative to the well known LaTeX." and switching tex macro should be easy. I feel there is a lacking in information and/or guide that preclude its use within this comunity. Anyhow my question: Can I have text within a (settable) margin in \setlayerframe? Probably not since margin are defined in \setuplayout and having a page layout atop of another one may not make sense.... Hereis a latex example of what should be easier (and more durable and flexible) to accomplish with contex http://andreas.welcomes-you.com/projects/a0poster/ http://andreas.welcomes-you.com/projects/a0poster/demo/poster.pdf

\setlayerframed[preset=lefttop][offset=1cm,align=normal]{the content}

the best appoach is to typeset the doc and poster indepently, see attached file - poster-0.tex : basic style - poster-1.tex : usage in doc - poster-2.tex : poster building - poster-x.tex : small patch (the few lines patch to page-imp.tex is neeed to make my live easier) one can overload colors in the document itself it's far from perfect but it shows the idea; now, if you (and maybe others) can cook up specs of what you want, i can make a series of s-pos-*.tex files that you can then built upon; a kind of on-line tutorial in style writing; when done, you can write a myway document an article for the maps -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

my first asking was: "offset"? where did it get it? then in texshow-web (altough rather empthy) I found \setupframed but still I have hard time to grasp the picture globally, and I do wish to be more independent. So sorry However,anyhow.. I put it, but it has no effect.... I use contex from tetex from SuSe 9.1, should I move to TeXlive+pragma? Or is just something relate to my .tex file?

not sure if I am ready to understand all.... but I'll be working on.. on what I consider a rather more advanced approch respect to my experience than your previous poster template with which I have been almost able to reproduce (with better typo and easy composition) a previous openoffice work..

it pas back to play a while with \framed since it is used all over the place \framed[offset=overlay,align=normal]{\input tufte\relax} \framed[offset=none,align=normal]{\input tufte\relax} \framed[offset=3cm,align=normal]{\input tufte\relax}
However,anyhow.. I put it, but it has no effect....

hm, i'm not sure if that version has layers, often linxu distributions are behind Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
