We assume that the user is -familiar with \CONTEXT\ and only discuss the commands that are related to column -sets. - -This mechanism performs okay but it needs to be used with care: an occasional -manual intervention is needed to get optimal results. After all, we're operating -in the area where normally click and point desktop publishing is used. - -{\bf For the moment you need to load the new code with: \type{\usemodule[newcolumnsets]}} - -\startlines -Hans Hagen -PRAGMA ADE -Hasselt, 2003\endash2016 -\stoplines - -\stopchapter - -\startchapter[title=Basics] - -As soon as enough content is collected to build a page, \TEX\ will invoke the -output routine. This is not a fixed piece of code, but a collection of macro -calls. The default output routine is a meant for typesetting a single column, as -in this document. A multi||column output routine is available as well. This -routine mixes well with the single column one, and is activated by: - -\starttyping -\startcolumns -some text ... -\stopcolumns -\stoptyping - -In \MKIV\ a new mixed column mechanism has been introduced that will be -developped further and eventually replace the old multi column handler. In \MKII\ -there is also a columnset mechanism that can be used to construct complex multi -column pages. In \MKIV\ this gets replaced by grid columns. All these multi -column mechanisms have in common that the output routine is more complex because -now a page is in fact a collection of pages wrapped onto one. Each column is -(from \TEX's perspective) similar to a one narrow column page. Here we focus on -columnsets (page grids). - -There are some limitations to what you can do with this kind of multi columns, -which is why we have a third routine at out disposal: {\em column sets}. This -routine can be used for rather complex layouts with graphics all over the place, -and text spanning columns or even spreads. There are of course some shortcomings, -which we will discuss later. - -In the examples that follow we use the following style to set up the layout. The -number in the margin serves a reference to the file where this snippet of \TEX\ -is stored. - -\ShowEnvironmentFile{columnsets-000} - -\page[mine] - -Before we will demonstrate more complex layouts, we will introduce a few -features. In the next series of examples we use fake text. You can enlarge the -pages in your viewer if you want to see more detail. - -\FourSpread{columnsets-001} - -These pages were typeset with the following code: - -\ShowFile{columnsets-001} - -We will showmost examples on a spread, so we don't show a first page. On a -spread like above we number columns from~1 to~4, which in practice means that in -this case columns starting on right page start with column~3! - -\SixPages{columnsets-001} - -\page[mine] - -The number of columns is not fixed to two. You can even have a different number -of columns on left and right pages. - -\FourSpread{columnsets-002} - -This time the input is: - -\ShowFile{columnsets-002} - -Again, we started on a right page but showed the spreads. You can see it from the -positioning of the header texts. - -\SixPages{columnsets-002} - -\page[mine] - -In order to get the balancing you want, you can manually influence the height of -a column. - -\FourSpread{columnsets-003} - -When you set the number of column lines to a positive value, that will be the -number of lines. A negative value will be subtracted from the maximum number of -lines. - -\ShowFile{columnsets-003} - -\page[mine] - -In articles you may want to let the introduction span multiple columns. A column -span is defined independent of a column set and shows up as follows: - -\FourSpread{columnsets-004} - -Here we've given the span a background so that it stands out. - -\ShowFile{columnsets-004} - -\page[mine] - -A column span can be positioned like any graphic. Later we will discuss the -placement options in more detail, for the moment all you need to know is that -\type {btlr} tells \CONTEXT\ to place the graphic in the left bottom of the the -text area. - -\FourSpread{columnsets-005} - -Here we pass the \type {default} placement as parameter to the span, but you can -also set it at definition time. We use a brute force simple column splitter to -fake columns inside the span. - -\ShowFile{columnsets-005} - -\page[mine] - -You are not limited to one column span. In this sense a span is like a graphic: -as long as there is room, it will be placed where you want it to be placed. The -main difference between a span and a graphic is that a span expects text and -tries to align the baselines with the rest of the text. In many ways a column -span behaves like a framed text. - -\FourSpread{columnsets-006} - -This time we flushed one of the spans from bottom to top, starting at the right -edge: \type {btrl}. - -\ShowFile{columnsets-006} - -\page[mine] - -Column spans are treated like graphics, which means that they will float if -needed. In the process, the width is limited to the available space, which in -some cases may lead to a smaller span than you may expect. Think of a column -span, calculated (and prepared) in the last column and ending up on the next page -in the first column, where a broader span would have been possible. - -\FourSpread{columnsets-007} - -\ShowFile{columnsets-007} - -\stopchapter - -\startchapter[title=Graphics] - -Most documents have graphics, and therefore column sets can contain them. The -main thing that you have to keep in mind when placing graphics, is that column -sets are based on grids. Therefore spacing around graphics is also grid based. - -\FourSpread{columnsets-101} - -\ShowFile{columnsets-101} - -\page[mine] - -You can tell \CONTEXT\ where it should place the graphic, but this will only be -honored when there is still place. - -\EightSpread{columnsets-102} - -The prefered location is passed as a four character directive: - -\ShowFile{columnsets-102} - -\page[mine] - -The following directives are available: - -\starttabulate[|lT|p|] -\NC btlr \NC flush from bottom to top and left to right \NC \NR -\NC btrl \NC flush from bottom to top and right to left \NC \NR -\NC tblr \NC flush from top to bottom and left to right \NC \NR -\NC tbrl \NC flush from top to bottom and right to left \NC \NR -\NC lrbt \NC flush from left to right and bottom to top \NC \NR -\NC lrtb \NC flush from left to right and top to bottom \NC \NR -\NC rlbt \NC flush from right to left and bottom to top \NC \NR -\NC rltb \NC flush from right to left and top to bottom \NC \NR -\NC here \NC try to place the graphic here \NC \NR -\NC fixd \NC force the graphic here and don't float \NC \NR -\NC fxtb:c*r \NC place the graphic at (c,r) or lower if needed \NC \NR -\NC fxbt:c*r \NC place the graphic at (c,r) or higher if needed \NC \NR -\NC tops \NC place the graphic at the top of the page \NC \NR -\NC bots \NC place the graphic at the bottom of the page \NC \NR -\NC page \NC place the graphic at a separate page \NC \NR -\stoptabulate - -In the next example we show the directional locations: - -\OneSpread{columnsets-103} - -\ShowFile{columnsets-103} - -\stopchapter - -\startchapter[title=Areas] - -So far we have seen texts and graphics that span multiple columns using span -commands and floats placement commands. We have also seen that you can define a -different number of columns for left and right pages. Now that we have arrives at -column areas you will see how we can span information over not only a page but -also over pages in a spread. - -\FourSpread{columnsets-201} - -Being a framed text, by default an area is aligned at the baseline. You can lower -an area by setting the \type {location} to \type {depth}. - -\ShowFile{columnsets-201} - -\page[mine] - -You can position areas on the left, right or next page or on both pages.

In that case you need to -be aware of the fact that \TEX\ works its way through the document per paragraph. -Changing the width halfway a paragraph is possible but will affect the whole -paragraph.
