I've worked on Laidout gradually over the last 3 years or so, kind of in between various other art projects. Each bout of programming has been just one little step that helps me make my cartoon books just a little more easily. Well, one day follows the next, and suddenly after a couple years, there was Laidout with wacky impositioning and image warping. I never really intended to spend so much time on it... I do tend to use Scribus to make pdfs. No single program is going to do everthing right for everyone. In any case, I look on with interest to see how the Scribus imposition Summer of Code comes along. Mateusz! non-rectangular pages! It's the future! If not that, might I suggest that the booklet mode double as a vertically oriented booklet, i.e. a wall calendar? Tom -------- http://www.laidout.org http://www.tomlechner.com
