\setuppapersize[XY] not working properly with landscape orientation
Hello, \setuppapersize[XY] is not working properly when paper orientation is landscape. The following code results in pages of dimensions 29.5 x 29.5 cm: \setuppapersize [XY][A4,landscape] \setuppaper [nx=3,ny=1] \setuparranging [XY] \showframe \starttext second page \page last page \page first page \page content in \page the middle \page three pages \stoptext I also have an additional question: I can use \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=...] for single pages which works perfectly. But how can I place a background figure on the "whole page" (i.e. spanning across the "middle three 'conceptual' pages", which is the "second page" when printed on paper) Thank you, Mojca

Have you tried \setupbackgrounds[paper][background=...]? Peter

I didn't know about that before. Now I tried it, but it had no effect. Thanks anyway, Mojca

mhh, works here (but maybe not in your example?) \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupcolors[state=start] \defineoverlay[test][{\bgroup\color[red]\blackrule[height=\paperheight,width=\paperwidth]\egroup}] \setupbackgrounds[paper][background=test] \starttext \null \stoptext

Your example works, but the following doesn't: \setupcolors[state=start] \defineoverlay[test][{\bgroup\color[red]\blackrule[height=\paperheight,width=\paperwidth]\egroup}] \setupbackgrounds[paper][background=test] % or: \setupbackgrounds[paper][background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \setuppapersize [XY][A4,landscape] \setuppaper [nx=3,ny=1] \setuparranging [XY] \starttext \null \stoptext Mojca
Hi, Indeed there is a calculation problem. Even if you define your papersize as a landscape paper with \definepapersize[Mylandscape][height=210mm, width=297mm] the calculation is incorrect. Apparently the problem is not related to the option "landscape" or "rotated". Willi Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Are there any news about fixing page dimensions in XY papersizes? Thanks, Mojca
