Re: nice friends-book with ConText - quite ready

[Jan Heinen]

Hello it was a ConText-night,

and as a newby I learned a lot about ConText :-)

Here is what I wanted to get: 
http://www.imagebanana.com/view/f4o3un2c/Entwurffriends.png

And here are my results: 
http://www.imagebanana.com/view/8vq30irn/ContextLayers.png

There are only little things which could be improved: How??
1. where comes the frame around the foto from? How can I 
switch it off?
2. There is a thin white line between layer A and the 
Infobox. How to rid of it?
3. How can I get padding into the Infobox? top, botttom, 
right and left


And here is my code for everyone who likes the layout of my 
friends-book ;-)


\definelayer[Kontaktdaten][x=20mm,y=30mm,width=65mm,height=30mm,state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[paper][setups=ALayer,background=Kontaktdaten,state=start]

\starttext
\strut

\setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgreen,width=10mm,height=130mm,frame=off,hoffset=-20mm,voffset=145mm,align=right]{A}
\setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkgreen,width=10mm,height=60mm,frame=off,hoffset=-20mm,voffset=85mm,align=right]{B}
\setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgreen,width=60mm,height=175mm,frame=off,hoffset=-10mm,voffset=100mm,align=right]%
{Infobox:\crlf
Peter\crlf
New York\crlf
0171/782801\crlf
test@test.de}
\setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][width=30mm,height=40mm,frame=\LayoutTest,hoffset=-10mm,voffset=60mm][strut=no,offset=overlay]%
  {\externalfigure[niceImage][width=30mm,height=40mm]}

You introduced one pair on brackets too much.

I don't see a white line, neither on the image you
provided, nor when I compile it.

Maybe there's a cleaner solution, but I misuse the frame
itself for that (see example).

The layout is a matter of taste, but the code is
improvable. Here are some tips:

- Don't write everything in one line! Use indentation. If
  your code is ugly to read, it lowers the change of
  getting a response.

- Make the code compile. At least on my context (not
  really up-to-date) it throws an error.

- There are some images and text files included in the
  ConTeXt distribution. Check
  …texmf-context/tex/context/sample
  Use them (e.g. “cow”).
