Hi:
I'm trying to setup a simple (for now) letterhead like the following.
Is there a way to automatically adjust the horizontal spacing between
the \vbox{} \cbox{} \lbox{}
so that if I change the document margins, the center box is automatically
centered?
I've tried putting in \hfill's without luck.
\startenvironment
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setuplayout[height=9in,
header=1.0in,
footer=0in,
topspace=1in,
backspace=1.33in, %the backspace includes the margin
location=middle,marking=on]
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=singlesided]
\noheaderandfooterlines
\setupbodyfont[cmr,12pt]
\usesymbols[mvs] \setupsymbolset[martinvogel 2]
\def\MyLetterhead%
{%\showboxes
\vbox{%\showboxes
\hbox{%\showboxes
\vbox{\hsize 3in
\tfa Your neighborhood\crlf
\scd{Company Store}}
\lbox{\hsize 3.0in \txx \setupinterlinespace \it Our Friendly Motto}
} \setupinterlinespace[line=.25ex]
\hbox{
\vbox{ \setupinterlinespace[height=.5,top=.5,line=.1ex]
\hsize 6.0in \thinrules[n=1, rulethickness=1.5pt] \crlf
\thinrules[n=1, rulethickness=0.7pt]}
}
\hbox{ \tfx \setupinterlinespace[reset,medium]
\vbox{ \hsize 1.5in
\it www.mydomain.net\crlf
email@mydomain.net\crlf
contact@mydomain.net}
\cbox{ \hsize 2.3in
\symbol[star]~Va~\symbol[star]~Md~\symbol[star] \crlf
\symbol[Telephone] (555)123-4567 \crlf
\symbol[Faxmachine] (555)987-6543}
\lbox{ \hsize 2.0in
1234 Main St.\crlf
P.O. Box 123\crlf
City, State 12345}
}
}
\setupinterlinespace[reset]
}

Your code fixed a lot of problems in addition to the centering problem -- even fixing a perculiar problem with the linespacing in the right adress box. I'll have to read up on framed boxes. Using a bottom & a top border to draw a double rule eliminated the hackish \setupinterlinespace I had used to adjust the spacing between the two lines. I'll also have to read up on layers and overlays. Thanks again for quick reply. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
