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:
You have to use the \measured (with a trailing s) command when you need multiples of a measure value. When you use something like 2\measure{...} ConTeXt uses the "2" followed by the value of the measure, the following example demonstrates this in the second output. %%%% begin example \definemeasure [point] [1pt] \starttext \startbuffer \tex{measure}: \measure{point} \tex{measured}: \the\measured{point} \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer \startbuffer 2\tex{measure}: 2\measure{point} 2\tex{measured}: \the\dimexpr2\measured{point}\relax \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang
