Hello dear All,
the following MWE works best:
\definelayer[LAY] \starttext
\setlayerframed[LAY] [x=0pt,y=20pt] [frame=on, width=300pt, align={right,}] % tolerant}] {\input ward } \flushlayer[LAY] \stoptext
Now, it could have a favourable effect on designing a page if the height of a text of certain width could be calculated in advance, depending of the font. Is there a way?
As I fear, TeX's means "\setbox" woun't work with aligned texts.
Can you give more details, I have no idea what you mean with aligned texts (layers?).

Hi Wolfgang,
With "aligned texts" I thought of "align={right,}]" in the above example or text which is "flushed right":
\setbox0=\vbox{... somehow flushed text ...} wount work, i.e \wd0 or \ht0 will both result in 0. With "unflushed" text this means will work perfectly.
You can do: \definelayer[LAY] \starttext \setbox\scratchbox=\vbox{\framed[width=300pt, align=flushleft]{\input ward\relax}} The height of the box is \the\ht\scratchbox; the width is \the\wd\scratchbox. \unvbox\scratchbox \setlayerframed[LAY][x=0pt, y=20pt][width=300pt, align=flushleft]{\input ward\relax} \flushlayer[LAY] \stoptext Aditya
