Dear list,
This is a follow-up question on my previous question about Jean-Luc Doumont and his grid layouts. This time I have concrete questions. I reverse engineered his slide (slide_grid_overlay.pdf). All his units are based on inches, because the inch is an integer multiple (72) of the TeX point. His base unit is 0.1in. I tried implementing the layout first, but the pdf dimensions do not match the ones I set up. For example the width should be 8 inches, but the pdf is over 11 inches wide. I wish to shut off all margins and similar things and only have a text area with an offset of 0.2in all around the page (see slide_grid_overlay.pdf). Here is my current attempt:
%\input fonts
\definemeasure[base][0.1in]
\definemeasure[zero][0in]
\definepapersize[slide][width=80\measure{base},height=60\measure{base}]
\setuppapersize[slide]
\setuplayout[
leftedge=\measure{zero},
rightedge=\measure{zero},
leftedgedistance=\measure{zero},
rightedgedistance=\measure{zero},
leftmargin=\measure{zero},
rightmargin=\measure{zero},
leftmargindistance=\measure{zero},
rightmargindistance=\measure{zero},
width=middle,
cutspace=2\measure{base},
backspace=2\measure{base},
topspace=2\measure{base},
header=\measure{zero},
height=middle,
bottomspace=2\measure{base},
footer=\measure{zero}]
%\usetypescript[ibmplex][uc]
%\setupbodyfont[ibmplex,rm,9pt]
\starttext
\showlayout
\stoptext
