I tried to make an atlas with A3 sized pages, portrait mode so set size 42 29.7 cm in my layout. This resulted in a lot of errors: In the finished atlas every other page is blank, and I get no navigator. Is this a bug, or did I do something wrong?
Atlas setup is not very user friendly, you have to set 3 variables: size, overlap, page-setup. There is an illustration in thbook (p.45) explaining what they mean.
When you changed size only, the result was larger map which didn't fit the same paper. This was the reason of TeX errors.
Ah. OK. I did wonder. The thbook docs imply that you only need to set two of those variables, the other one will be calculated. I'l try again. # size <width> <height> <units> . set map size in the atlas mode. If not specified, it #will be calculated from page-setup and overlap. In map mode applies iff page-grid #is on (M, A; default: 18 22.2 cm) #overlap <value> <units> # overlap <value> <units> . set overlap size in paper units in the atlas mode or map margin in the map mode (M, A; default: 1 cm) # page-setup <dimensions> <units> # page-setup <dimensions> <units> . set page dimensions in this order: paper-width, #paper-height, page-width, page-height, left-margin and top-margin. If not specified, it #will be computed from size and overlap (A; default: 21 29.7 20 28.7 0.5 0.5 cm (A4)) Wookey -- Aleph One Ltd, Bottisham, CAMBRIDGE, CB5 9BA, UK Tel +44 (0) 1223 811679 work: http://www.aleph1.co.uk/ play: http://wookware.org/
