Hi everbody, I would like to do some very special settings using frames possibly structures to! NMW % declartion of MyFarme and setup \defineframed[MyFrame][framed] \setupframed[MyFrame][\rulethickness=3pt, frameoffset=.8 rulethickness] … startext \MyFrame[\rulethickness=3pt{What goes into the frame} stop I would like to adjust the frameoffset according to the value of \rulethickness, to be exact I would prefer using a command that calulates a value. How do I go about it. According to the Manuals and the Wiki I can use a command How can I access rulethickness in such a manner? I know I could right a command in lua that injects the proper output into the TeX stream, but I am afraid that the the side effects. Could do it in TeX to, but I am not that comfortable with TeX and processing key values therein. Any help and ideas appriciated. regards Keith.

Hi Wolfgang, all,
Thanx for the example/help.
I have a few questions sothat I understand properly what is going on and
how to maybe do some more fancy things.
1) \dimexpr allows the calculation of a dimention
2) \dimexpr is closed by \relax or if I need more complicated calculation something like:
frameoffset=\dimexpr{\framedparameter{rulethickness}*3/10} + \framedparameter{\frameoffset}}\relax
3) How would access a value of a DIFFERENT frame?
4) I could use my own command whose result is a dimension:
\def\MyCommand#1{#1\textwidth}
and use it as:
frameoffset=\dimexpr\Mycommand{.05}\relax
regards
Keith

2) \dimexpr is closed by \relax or if I need more complicated calculation something like: frameoffset=\dimexpr{\framedparameter{rulethickness}*3/10} + \framedparameter{\frameoffset}}\relax Found the answer use \dimexpr(…). the \relax is so that TeX behaves!
3) How would access a value of a DIFFERENT frame?
4) I could use my own command whose result is a dimension: \def\MyCommand#1{#1\textwidth} and use it as: frameoffset=\dimexpr\Mycommand{.05}\relax
