Hello,
I'm enjoying the power of the new publication framework and started to manage my images with it.
This works quite nice. But now I reached the point where my (limited) context knowledge comes to an end.
I would like to print a contact sheet of my large image database. To save paper I want combine floats next to each other.
I use the XML framework to filter my images according the 'keywords' field:
\usebtxdataset[image][../../4_source/2_image/1_image.bib]
\convertbtxdatasettoxml[image]
\startxmlsetups btx:render
\xmlfilter {#1} {
/bibtex
/entry[@category='image']
/field[@name='keywords' and (find(text(), 'one'))]
/..
/command(btx:figure)
}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups btx:figure
\externalfigure [\xmlfirst{#1}{/field[@name='file']}]
\stopxmlsetups
\setupexternalfigures [location=global, directory={../../4_source/2_image}, width=3cm]
\xmlsetup {btx:image} {btx:initialize}
\starttext
\xmlsetup {btx:image} {btx:render}
\stoptext
the file 1_image.bib has the following structure:
@image{test_1,
keywords = {one, two, three},
file = {test_1.png}
}
my problem is that I cant figure out how to process the filtered entries to form groups of let's say (3x4) twelve and use it with \ setupcombinations [3*4]
Thanks for any help.
Michael
