grid and \definelayout

grid and \definelayout

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi,

I tried to enable the grid with the \definelayout command. This seems
to be not possible and can only be done with the \setuplayout command.

The reason is that I set up the layout in one of my modules with a own
setup command and the current setup option is choosen by a keyword, e.g.
\setupmymodule[firstpage][..,..=..,..] creates \definelayout[firstpage]
with the comma seperated list between the second brackets.

Is it there something build in that im unable to find and if not is it
possible to include this, because I try to avoid adding another option
that is neccessary to enable/disable the grid.

Wolfgang

It tried to solve the problem and came to the following solution.
After changing the following line from the \dorecalculatelayout macro
in page-lay.tex it got what I wanted.

before: \doifelse\@@lygrid\v!yes\gridsnappingtrue\gridsnappingfalse
after:  \doifelse{\layoutparameter\c!grid}\v!yes\gridsnappingtrue

Hans, can this be done also in the main files, I made a few tests and I
saw now problems in their results.
