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 ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

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.
