Maps, Context, module, lua- abstract:
Sometimes, a cheap personal organizer on paper can come in handy. This solution prepared in ConTeXt MKIV provides a range of options to set up such a personal organizer. The point is, that the PocketDiary is printed on a single sided A4 landscape sheet of paper and then folded into a pocket size booklet hereby preventing that unprinted/empty pages are seen. The PocketDiary is easy to make and after 1 week it is simply replaced with a subsequent booklet. A detailed description is given of the system and how to set up a production file. At the end of the article instructions are included how to fold the booklet. - MAPS 42, 2011, 7-14

- abstract:
The relationship between LaTeX's page layout parameters and the conventional desktop publishing (DTP) model of a page are explored and formulae to map between them are presented. A sample implementation of those formulae in Lua is provided, showing how to achieve customised page layouts in LuaTeX. The placement of crop marks is addressed, and a technique for preparing and adding them to typeset pages is discussed. - MAPS 42, 2011, 43-54

Gabo's Torsion is emulated in EPSF, Encapsulated PostScript File format. Gabo's constructive art, Math, Computer Graphics and the use of PostScript are touched upon. Whether PostScript is a suitable language for projection and drawing 3D objects on paper is experienced. An introduction to PostScript aimed at EPSF use, in a nutshell, is included. How to obtain cropped pictures along with the conversion to .pdf is mentioned. An interesting observation is made: Bézier cubics, specified by begin point, the control points and the end point, are invariant under (oblique parallel) projection, which allows to project B-cubics efficiently. The efficient projection of (approximated) circles and ellipses has been addressed. For the evaluation of B-cubics de Casteljau's algorithm is used. Emulations in EPSF of Gabo's Linear Construction in Space No 1 and 2, of one of his Spheric Themes, and his Linear Construction Suspended, are also included. For the MetaFont afficionados my interactive version of old is also included. - MAPS 42, 2011, 69-110
