[cl-typesetting-devel] making a huge poster with cl-typesetting

[Chisheng Huang]

Greetings,

I'd like to make a poster of many (3 ~ 6) columns of text and graphics.
Is this possible with CL-TYPESETTING?  I just started poking around
in the source code of CL-TYPESETTING.  There are 3 issues that pop up
in my mind:
  1. I think I'll have to add an entry to the definition of +PAGER-SIZES+ 
     to generate a poster bigger than the A0 size.  
  2. I'm not sure how to get the multicolumn format I need.  There are TABLE, 
     ROW, and CELL in CL-TYPESETTING but I need the text to flow from the 
     bottom of a column to the top of the next column to the right.
  3. All my graphics stuff is generated by CL-PDF separately.  Any way to
     import these PDF files into a PDF file (the poster being generated by
     CL-TYPESETTING)?

If you can shed any light on any one of the above issues, I'll be very
grateful.

Best,

-cph, back to poke around in the CL-PDF/CL-TYPESETTING src code.
