Calculating with \measure
Hi! Is it possible to calculate with \measure or do I have to resort to dimens? Example: \definemeasure [mymeasure] [4cm] \newdimen\mydim \mydim4cm \starttext \framed[width=4cm]{Foobar} \framed[width=\measure{mymeasure}]{Foobar} \framed[width=2\mydim]{Foobar} \framed[width=2\measure{mymeasure}]{Foobar} \stoptext Marco

\definemeasure [mymeasure] [4cm] \newdimen\mydim \mydim4cm
\starttext \framed[width=4cm]{Foobar} \framed[width=\measure{mymeasure}]{Foobar} \framed[width=2\mydim]{Foobar} \framed[width=2\measure{mymeasure}]{Foobar} \stoptext You can use \measured or just create more named lengths.
\definemeasure [onemeasure] [4cm] \definemeasure [twomeasure] [\measure{onemeasure}*2] %\definemeasure [twomeasure] [2\measured{onemeasure}] \starttext \framed[width=\measure{onemeasure}]{Foobar} \framed[width=2\measured{onemeasure}]{Foobar} \framed[width=\measure{twomeasure}]{Foobar} \stoptext Wolfgang

That's what I was looking for.
or just create more named lengths.
\definemeasure [onemeasure] [4cm] \definemeasure [twomeasure] [\measure{onemeasure}*2] %\definemeasure [twomeasure] [2\measured{onemeasure}]
That's exactly what I initially did. After I ended up with \measure{Small} \measure{TwoSmall} \measure{ThreeSmall} \measure{FourSmall} \measure{Big} \measure{TwoBig} \measure{ThreeBig} \measure{FourBig} I deleted the whole mess and went with \dimen. Thanks for the quick response. Marco
