How to change linewidth of a frame?

How to change linewidth of a frame?

[Maurice Diamantini]

Rebonjour!

I'm trying to modyfy the title of my slides.
So I tried this command (that I just pick on the ntg-context list,
thank you   :-)

    \setuphead[Topic]
              [textcommand=\doTitle]
    \def\doTitle#1{%
        \bgroup
        \setupframed [offset=0.3ex,linewidth=2pt,framecolor=red]
        \framed{\blue \ss #1}%
        \egroup%
    }

But the linewidth as no effect (it is not in the documented 
\setuphead options, but a just try it.
Also, is it possible to set the linestyle to "daashed" or something 
like that?

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^
use that one with care since framed is used all over the place in context, 
better pass these settings to \framed directly or create a framed 
(\defineframed)

rulethickness=2pt

\startuniqueMPgraphic{dashed}
   draw OverlayBox dashed evenly ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[dashed][\uniqueMPgraphic{dashed}]

\framed[background=dashed]{I didn't test this}

I would not have expected differently than that this works!

If you use this mechanism, the frame will have to be set to off. If you
still want to change the  thickness of the dashed box you will do this in
the Metapost code. Then it will be time to consult the Metafun manual  ;-)

 \startuniqueMPgraphic{dashed}
      pickup pencircle scaled 2pt
     draw OverlayBox dashed evenly ;
 \stopuniqueMPgraphic

I suppose You mea, \defineframedtext (I didn't found \defineframed).
I've set directly the \framed setting as you said.

It does work, thank you,

It does work the first time, but then it keeps the previous dimensions.
But now I have to read more about the "overlays" and cie.

Thank you!
