Page Layout ⇒ Maybe a bug in flowfram

[luoyi]

I think maybe I've found a bug in the flowfram package. Please see the following tex file. when the first-page is 1 column , the output is bad. but if I change the first page to 2 column ,then the output will looks good. does any one can help to look at this ? thx a lot.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage[portrait,hmargin={2cm,2cm},vmargin={1cm,1cm}]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\RequirePackage[draft]{flowfram}
\RequirePackage{color}
\RequirePackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{tikz}

\pagestyle{empty}
\renewcommand{\chapterfirstpagestyle}{empty} 

\ffvadjustfalse
\onecolumninarea[1]{0.7\textwidth}{\textheight}{0pt}{0pt}
% if I changed onecolumninarea to twocolumninarea as following
% then no problem
% \twocolumninarea[1]{0.7\textwidth}{\textheight}{0pt}{0pt}
\twocolumninarea[>1]{\textwidth}{\textheight}{0pt}{0pt}

\newdynamicframe[1]{0.29\textwidth}{0.8\textheight}{0.71\textwidth}{0.1\textheight}[tocframe]
\setdynamiccontents*{tocframe}{\lipsum[1]}

\begin{document}

\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{uplogo}
\lipsum[1-10]

\chapter{Introduction}
\lipsum
\lipsum

\chapter{Introduction}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\end{document}

You need to use \framebreak when moving to a column with a different width. This is because the change in \hsize doesn't come into effect until the end of the paragraph. (So it's a feature of TeX rather than a bug in flowfram.)

then it means that I should always insert a \framebreak command in the last of the firstpage. do we have any convenient method to do this ?

You'll need to use \framebreak whenever you have a paragraph that spans frames of unequal widths.

No. The best thing to do is put all your text in and then add \framebreak. Otherwise you might find you have to keep moving it whenever you edit the text.
