Thanks for taking the trouble for what was really simple, but seems undocumented (?) It does, and then all the offsets etc, seem to work in pixels as well. eg. \definelayer [topmatter] % name of the layer [x= 0 px, y=20 px, % from upper left corner of paper width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] % let the layer cover the full paper Ian On 24 February 2011 09:47, luigi scarso wrote:

Morning all, Quick question. I want to design a screen document at 1024 by 768 pixels, so ideally work in pixels as units, and not mm / cm. I know pdfs are scalable and about \setuppapersize[S6][S6], but I'd

to work in pixels (I have swfs / images to embed, and these come in x by y pixels). Anyone have an easy answer? \definepapersize[Screen][width=1024px,height=768px] \setuppapersize[Screen][Screen]

You should check if it's ok, I'm not sure. -- luigi

Some other units: mm Millimetres cm Centimetres in Inches em em width, depends on the font ex ex height, depends on the font pc Picas (1pc = 12pt) pt Points (1in = 72.27pt)

There’s also bp (big points). We have the difference between TeX points (pt) and PostScript points (bp) in ConTeXt like in every other TeX: 1 pt = 1/72,27 in = 0,3515 mm (traditional American printer’s point) 1 bp = 1/72 in = 0,3528 mm (after the Anglo-Saxon compromise inch of 1959 = 25.4 mm) (1 "Didot" point, traditionally used in Europe, was 0,376 mm) See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(typography) Greetlings from Lake Constance!
