En poques paraules

Un petit catàleg d'exposició amb tres gravats antics del Quixot. Cada fitxa va en una pàgina esquerra i la seva imatge ocupa sencera la pàgina dreta del davant.

Què compondràs

Un petit catàleg en anglès per a una exposició de gabinet: tres gravats en fusta del Quixot de Gustave Doré (París, 1863), en pàgina de 230 × 280 mm. La coberta compon DORÉ en Libre Bodoni de 88 pt sobre un negre càlid, sota un detall emmarcat de la làmina dels molins. Cada fitxa obre una pàgina parella amb un número de catàleg en sèpia al costat d'un títol en cursiva, la fitxa tècnica a la columna exterior, una entradeta amb caplletra de tres línies i el comentari. La primera frase del comentari cita la làmina, que obre la pàgina senar del davant, centrada i amb 221 mm d'alçada; làmina, peu i línia de crèdit omplen així la caixa de text. L'última pàgina és una llista d'obres amb una miniatura a la primera cel·la de cada fila i la pàgina on s'imprimeix cada làmina.

Aquesta recepta respon a

  • Com faig un catàleg d'art: la fitxa a la pàgina esquerra i la làmina al davant, a la dreta?
  • Com decideixo on va una figura: al capdamunt de la pàgina, a l'amplada de les dues columnes, just aquí o al marge?
  • Com poso imatges o icones dins de les cel·les d'una taula?
  • Com afegeixo a una obertura una línia d'autor, una entradeta o un primer paràgraf amb caplletra?

Elaboració

#1 · La làmina espera la pàgina del davant

El codi és la resposta curta de dalt. Cada fitxa salta a pàgina parella, i un flotant top no cau mai a la pàgina que el cita, així que la làmina citada a la primera frase del comentari se salta la parella i obre la senar del davant. Postext 1.4.1 no redueix un flotant perquè càpiga a l'espai que li queda a la seva pàgina, de manera que plate() calcula l'amplada del flotant a partir de la proporció de l'escaneig i de l'alçada que deixa la caixa de text un cop descomptats el peu i la línia de crèdit. layout.fitFiguresToPage reduiria una làmina massa alta per a la pàgina, però llavors la 1.4.1 enganxa la imatge reduïda a l'esquerra d'un flotant que continua ocupant tota l'amplada. Una fracció d'amplada estreny el mateix flotant, i align: 'center' centra la làmina juntament amb el seu peu.

#2 · El capçal de la fitxa surt del seu títol

const [KICKER, NUMERAL] = [8.5, { size: 80, y: 7 }]; // pt: labels; the numeral, y in mm
const TITLE = { size: 30, lineHeight: 1.08 }; // pt (gotcha: design-lineheight-multiple)

const LEAD_Y = HEAD_RULE + 5; // mm: the lead paragraph, with the tombstone beside it
const [LEADIN, TOMB] = [{ size: 13.5, lead: 19 }, { size: 8.5, lead: 12.5 }]; // pt

];
const entryOpener = () => ({ enabled: true, minHeight: mm(LEAD_Y + LEAD_LINES * LEADIN.lead * PT),

  text('chapter', '{attr.chapter}', LABEL, KICKER, 'sepia',

Cada títol # porta com a atributs el seu capítol, la seva fitxa tècnica i la seva entradeta, i l'obertura els col·loca. El número gran és el {number} del mateix títol, que dona numberingTemplate: '{1}'; com que cada fitxa té una sola làmina, coincideix amb el comptador Cat. de les làmines. A la 1.4.1 la caplletra només existeix al text de disseny, que no es pot justificar, així que l'entradeta és un atribut compost en bandera, a 13,5 pt, sobre el comentari justificat. dropSize(3) dona a la inicial el cos just perquè la seva part alta toqui les majúscules de la primera línia i el seu peu recolzi a la tercera línia de base. minHeight reserva lloc per a una entradeta de cinc línies, de manera que a Cat. 3, on l'entradeta n'ocupa quatre, el comentari comença a la mateixa línia que a les altres fitxes. TITLE_Y col·loca el títol 1,2 mm més avall que el número per alinear-ne les majúscules amb les xifres, que en Libre Bodoni mesuren 0,716 em davant dels 0,754 em de les majúscules.

#3 · Declara l'original i dibuixa'n una còpia més petita

// plate() sizes each plate from its master, the Commons scan at 2,400 px tall (MASTER_PX);
// the canvas draws the registered 835-px copy (the block's width on a 1,000-px page) in that box.
async function scan(file) {
  const res = await fetch(asset(file));
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Scan not found (${res.status}): ${file}`);
  return createImageBitmap(await res.blob());
}
async function loadPlates() {
  const [detail, ...scans] = await Promise.all([DETAIL, ...PLATES.map((p) => p.file)].map(scan));
  const resources = [checklist(PLATES), picture('cover-detail', onPaper(detail),
    'Detail of Cat. 3: the knight and his horse caught on the sail.')];
  for (const [i, p] of PLATES.entries()) {
    registerResourceImage(p.file, onPaper(scans[i]));
    resources.push(plate(p, MASTER_PX[p.id]), // and a thumbnail: its own small file and size
      picture(`${p.id}-thumb`, onPaper(await resized(scans[i], THUMB_PX)), p.altText));
  }
  return resources;
}

Postext mesura un mapa de bits pels píxels que declara, a la resolució del document, i no l'imprimeix mai més ample del que aquests píxels permeten. plate() declara l'original de cada làmina, l'escaneig de Commons reduït a 2400 px d'alçada: 1900 × 2400 px a Cat. 1, que a page.dpi: 150 podria arribar a 322 mm. Per això mana la fracció d'amplada: la làmina fa 221 mm d'alçada, i a aquesta alçada 2400 px donen uns 275 ppp. Amb els 300 ppp per defecte, es quedaria en 161 mm d'amplada. El llenç dibuixa en aquesta caixa la imatge que estigui registrada, així que la recepta carrega d'assets/ tres còpies de 835 px, 0,97 MB davant dels 5,8 MB dels originals. Si dibuixés els originals de 2400 px, els cels s'omplirien de bandes de moaré i les imatges de la captura pesarien uns 0,3 MB més, per sobre del límit d'1,4 MB del Receptari.

#4 · Una coberta des d'un estil de títol

const FRAME_X = (TRIM.w - FRAME.w) / 2;
const NAME = { size: 88, track: 8, y: 176 }; // pt, pt, mm
const centred = (id, content, family, size, color, y, more, x = 0) => text(id, content, family,
  size, color, at('page', 'top', x, y, 'fill'), { align: 'center', ...more });

    centred('kicker', '{attr.kicker}', LABEL, 8.5, 'gilt', 18, caps(8.5)),
    // 1.4.1 counts the tracking after the last letter as well, so the word moves right by half.
    centred('name', '{titleText}', DISPLAY, NAME.size, 'paper', NAME.y, { lineHeight: 1,
      textTransform: 'uppercase', letterSpacing: pt(NAME.track) }, (NAME.track / 2) * PT),
    centred('subtitle', '{attr.subtitle}', DISPLAY, 18, 'paper', NAME.y + NAME.size * PT + 4,
      { italic: true }),
    centred('foot', '{attr.foot}', LABEL, 8.5, 'gilt', 250, caps(8.5)),
  ] } },
});

La coberta és el primer títol, # Doré {style="cover" …}, dibuixat per un estil sense folis. El seu element d'imatge dibuixa windmills-detail-540.jpg, un recurs registrat que cap paràgraf no cita i que, per tant, ni es numera ni porta peu. És un quadrat de 1100 px retallat de l'escaneig dels molins i reduït a 540 px, l'amplada que ocupa en una pàgina de 1000 px. La 1.4.1 mesura el text de disseny amb l'espaiat de 8 pt també darrere de l'última lletra, de manera que el nom centrat quedaria 4 pt a l'esquerra de l'eix de la pàgina; per això es desplaça a la dreta la meitat d'aquest espaiat.

  altText: 'Checklist of the three works with thumbnails, titles, chapters and pages.',
  table: { model: { headerRowCount: 1, columnWidths: [26, 9, 70, 11], rows: [
    ['', 'Cat.', 'Work and chapter', 'Page'].map((label, i) =>
      cell(label, { isHeader: true, align: i === 3 ? 'right' : 'left' })),
    ...plates.map((p, i) => [
      { content: '', image: { resourceId: `${p.id}-thumb` } },
      cell(String(i + 1)), cell(`*${p.caption}*. ${p.illustrates}`),
      cell(String(platePage(i + 1)), { align: 'right' }),
    ]),
  ] } },
  createdAt: 0, updatedAt: 0,

const listType = { id: 'list', name: 'List', shortLabel: 'List', captionPrefix: '', // no caption
  numberingTemplate: '{n}', resetOn: 'never', counterFormat: 'decimal' };

La propietat image d'una cel·la ajusta un recurs de mapa de bits a l'amplada interior de la cel·la, aquí 23 mm. Cada miniatura és una còpia pròpia de 300 px, declarada amb aquesta mida, en lloc de la làmina de 835 px reduïda en dibuixar-la. La taula no té text de peu i el seu tipus deixa buit el prefix, així que no es dibuixa cap peu. L'estil de la llista només fixa numbered: false i el seu disseny; l'amplada de pàgina, el salt a pàgina parella i el marge inferior els pren del nivell 1.

#6 · Atura la maquetació si una fitxa no hi cap

script.js · línies 335–340al codi complet
const astray = doc.pages.find((pg) => pg.role !== 'opener' && !pg.floats?.length);

  const error = new Error(`Page ${astray.pageLabel} holds no plate: shorten the entry before it.`);
  kitFail(error); // the viewer's bar says why
  throw error;
}

Una fitxa que es passa de la seva pàgina parella continua enviant la làmina a la pàgina següent. La resta del comentari va darrere de la làmina, i una pàgina en blanc torna la fitxa següent a una parella, de manera que cada làmina posterior s'imprimeix dues pàgines després de la que indica la llista d'obres. La comprovació atura la maquetació a la primera pàgina sense làmina que no sigui una obertura i en mostra el número a la barra del visor.

Hachette et Cie, 1863, vol. I" lead="Doré opens the book with its hero wide awake. Seated upright in a carved chair, the hidalgo holds up a sword in his right hand and a book in his left, while everything he has read comes loose from the page and fills the room around him."} The plate (:ref{id="library"}, opposite) sets out the sentence in which the hidalgo loses his wits. In John Ormsby’s translation his fancy grew full of ‘enchantments, quarrels, battles, challenges, wounds, wooings, loves, agonies, and all sorts of impossible nonsense’, and Doré draws the list almost item by item. Knights ride out from behind the chair, a dragon uncoils above a shield of arms, a knight no taller than a folio stands on a book beside a giant’s severed head, and a lady in chains kneels at the fore-edge of a volume lettered AMADIS. Cervantes says the hidalgo ‘sold many an acre of tillageland to buy books of chivalry to read’, and Doré scatters them about the room: open on the table under the window, fallen open at his feet, and one propped on its edge at the lower left, beside the giant’s head. Daylight comes in at the window on the left and falls on his face and on the open page. The figures crowding the rest of the room have come out of the books, down to the two knights no taller than a hand who joust on the backs of mice among the flagstones. Doré gives these phantoms the same firm outline as the man who imagines them. In wood engraving whatever the tool cuts away prints white, so Pisan had to turn each of Doré’s greys into a pattern of strokes: close parallel cuts for the heavy curtain, finer and more open ones for the light on the wall, broken curls for the smoke of figures behind the chair. Both men signed the block, Doré in script at the lower left and Pisan in capitals at the lower right. # The Vigil \\ of Arms {chapter="Part I · Chapter III" tombstone="Wood engraving\nHéliodore Pisan after Gustave Doré\nParis: L. Hachette et Cie, 1863, vol. I" lead="The innkeeper has no chapel, so Don Quixote keeps his vigil of arms in the yard. Doré makes the scene a nocturne: the armour stands on the well-head, and the bareheaded knight lifts his lance towards a full moon breaking through cloud."} The plate (:ref{id="vigil"}, opposite) follows the text closely. The innkeeper has told his guest that armour may be watched anywhere, so Don Quixote lays his on a trough beside the well and paces up and down in front of it. In Ormsby’s translation the night closes in ‘with a light from the moon so brilliant that it might vie with his that lent it’. Doré stands the armour upright on the well-head, helmet and breastplate and gauntlets, so that it reads as a second knight facing the thin man in his shirt who will wear it. On the right the inn is a dark mass with an outside stair, and a figure watches from its landing: in the novel the guests ‘flocked to see it from a distance’. Water lies in the ruts of the yard and catches the light, and the knight’s shadow runs across it towards the viewer. Cervantes plays the vigil as farce. Two carriers come in turn to water their mules, each goes to move the armour off the trough, and each is laid out with the lance; the landlord then hurries the dubbing through before anyone else is hurt. Doré leaves all of that out and keeps the hour before it, when the knight is alone with his arms and the moon. In this sky Pisan widens his level cuts as they near the moon, until the black left between them thins to hairlines around the halo. Short flicks pick out the edges of the clouds. A dark bar of cloud crosses the disc on the left, and a few faint strokes shade the moon’s face. # The Adventure \\ of the Windmills {chapter="Part I · Chapter VIII" tombstone="Wood engraving\nHéliodore Pisan after Gustave Doré\nParis: L. Hachette et Cie, 1863, vol. I" lead="Doré passes over the charge and draws the moment after it. The turning sail has caught the lance and lifted horse and rider clear of the plain, and Rocinante’s legs thrash at the empty air below them."} The plate (:ref{id="windmills"}, opposite) illustrates the sentence in which the charge ends. As the knight drove his lance into the sail, in Ormsby’s words, ‘the wind whirled it round with such force that it shivered the lance to pieces, sweeping with it horse and rider, who went rolling over on the plain’. Doré stops before the fall. The broken lance is still caught in the canvas, and the knight hangs tangled against the sail with his shield flung out beside him. The composition is built on one diagonal. The sail runs from the top left corner towards the centre, the horse hangs from it, and the line carries on down the slope to the thistles in the foreground. Against it Doré sets the level plain of La Mancha, where Cervantes counts ‘thirty or forty windmills’ and the plate lines up a row of them along the horizon, turning in the same wind. Sancho, hatless, throws up one arm and clutches his head with the other; his hat lies on the ground and his ass waits behind him. He had warned his master, in Ormsby’s version, that ‘what we see there are not giants but windmills, and what seem to be their arms are the sails that turned by the wind make the millstone go’. Pisan cuts the sky in long even lines and the patched canvas of the sail in torn, crossing strokes. The mills on the horizon are drawn with a few lines each. # Works in \\ the Exhibition {style="checklist" kicker="Checklist" range="1–3"} All three plates come from the first volume of *L’Ingénieux Hidalgo Don Quichotte de la Manche*, in the French translation by Louis Viardot, published in two folio volumes by L. Hachette et Cie, Paris, in 1863 with 377 compositions by Gustave Doré, 120 of them full-page. Héliodore Pisan engraved the three plates on wood, and both men signed them in the block.

#Posa figures a la columna exterior

Per a figures i glosses que s'apilen en una columna exterior reservada a flotants, al costat del paràgraf que les cita, mira el llibre de text amb columna al marge.

Errors freqüents

Error freqüent

Un flotant 'top' no cau mai a la pàgina que el cita

Un flotant no va mai per sobre de la seva pròpia referència, així que un flotant 'top' a tota l'amplada citat a la pàgina N obre la pàgina N+1. Cita'l abans, o fes servir la posició 'auto' o 'bottom', que poden ocupar el peu de la pàgina que el cita. Col·locació de figures →

Els mapes de bits es mesuren en píxels a la resolució del document: declara la mida d'impressió

Un recurs de mapa de bits pren la mida de l'amplada i l'alçada que declara, en píxels a la resolució del document, no del fitxer. Declara els píxels de la mida d'impressió (uns 300 ppp a l'amplada impresa) perquè la figura surti a la seva mida i nítida. Figures i taules com a recursos →

Error freqüent

El text de disseny no es justifica mai, així que l'entradeta d'una caplletra va en bandera

A postext 1.4.1, un element de text de disseny s'alinea a l'esquerra, al centre o a la dreta i talla paraula per paraula: no hi ha alineació justificada, i hyphenate: true només parteix una paraula que no cap en una línia sencera. Les línies d'una entradeta al costat d'una dropCap acaben, per tant, en bandera al costat del text justificat. Limita l'entradeta a les línies que acompanyen la caplletra i ajusta-les a mà: amb lines: 1 (una caplletra alçada) l'entradeta és una sola línia, que el gap de la dropCap pot deixar arran; el paràgraf continua al Markdown. Caplletres a les obertures →

Error freqüent

\n en un atribut només talla línies amb paragraphIndent > 0

En un element de text de disseny, un \n escrit al valor d'un atribut només obre una línia nova si paragraphIndent és més gran que zero o hi ha caplletra; si no, el text continua en una línia. Posa a paragraphIndent un valor mínim (0,01 pt) o fes servir un atribut per línia. Textos, filets i caixes als dissenys de pàgina →

Error freqüent

El lineHeight d'un text de disseny és un múltiple, mai una mesura

En una ranura de disseny, el lineHeight d'un element de text multiplica el seu cos (lineHeight: 1.05). A postext 1.4.1 una mesura com pt(15) no dona error: l'alçada de l'obertura surt NaN, l'espai que reserva, minHeight inclòs, es perd sense avís i el text se superposa al títol.

Imatge de baixa resolució

Per què. Un mapa de bits es dibuixa més d'1,5 vegades més ample que els seus píxels, de manera que es veurà borrós en imprimir-lo.

Solució. Proporciona uns 300 ppp a la mida d'impressió i declara l'amplada i l'alçada reals del mapa de bits. Documentació →
