is it possible to get the complete representation of the layout that is processed in the luatex PDF generator?

I mean coordinations of individual text boxes, their dimensions etc.

Actually, I'd like to retrieve the page number and vertical position of my object with a specific id (reference) to be able to perform PDF post-processing.

\starttext

we are here: \setposition{crap}(\MPx{crap},\MPy{crap})

\stoptext

Thanks! Looks promising, Actually I'd like to print it into a log or somewhere else, not into the document itself. But I need also the page number. Every record should be ideally in the form: ID;page-number;Y-coord.

Is DVI way to go? How can I get it in MkIV?

I've found that luatex can optionally output DVI [1], but I cannot find any ConTeXt commandline switch to change the output format from PDF to something else...

indeed, no dvi ... it doesn't pay off to spend time on making all backend functionality multi-mode Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
