\setuplayout question

\setuplayout question

[Alan Stone]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1116 bytes --]

Hi,

Some/oftentimes, the more I read the scattered
documentation, the more I'm confused... and
wasting my valuable time testing and trying to
figure out how things work.

Here is, for example, why...

(1) From  \showlayout

topspace       \topspace
top                \topheight

(2) From "ConTeXt An Excursion", page 74

page 71, \setuplayout command parameters

topspace       dimension
top                (not referenced)
topheight       (not referenced)

page 74, table 33.2 parameters for page design.

topspace       \topspace
top                (not referenced)
topheight       \topheight

(3) From "ConTeXt main manual"

page 24, \setuplayout command parameters

topspace       dimension
top                dimension
topheight       (not referenced)

(4) From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout

topspace      \topspace
top               \topheight
topheight       (not referenced)

(5) From http://texshow.contextgarden.net/command/detail/221

topspace       dimension
top                dimension
topheight       (not referenced)

What is

- topspace ?
- top ?
- topheight ?

Please and thank you,
Alan

(1) main layout areas:

     keywords to \setuplayout: header text footer

     dimension variables: \headerheight etc

(2) space above and below main layout area:

     keywords to \setuplayout: topspace bottomspace

     dimension variables: \topspace, \bottomspace

(3) virtual layout areas: (used for interactive documents where
     one wants to keep the main text area unchanged by setting these;
     the virtual areas extend into the topspace and bottomspace)

     keywords to \setuplayout: top header text footer bottom

     dimension variables: \topheight, \headerheight etc

the system is set up in such a way that one can easily shift the text 
area as well as disable header and footer

Pages and pages and pages skillfully resumed in a few, targeted and simple
lines.

Keyword: the system is set up in such a way that...

Something to consider for the manual updates ?

Thanks a lot Hans,
Alan

Manual wishlist (was Re: \setuplayout question)

A remark from me may be in order: while I am indeed busy working on
some of the manual chapters and by extension it seems that I am indeed
more less in charge of this project, I do *not* keep track of wishlists
or errata except for the chapter(s) I am actively working on myself.

Hints like the one made by Alan above will end up in the void unless
someone (and that someone will not be me) creates and maintains a
wishlist on the wiki or in the contextman project's bug tracker at
foundry.supelec.fr.

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi Marcin,

The \showlayout produces a page containing the values all the layout variables.
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/showlayout
Do they answer your question, or not quite?
(I'm not too informed qua layout, so I can't help you other than
giving this pointer. Sorry.

Cheers,
Sietse

When the bottomspace has a height of 0pt context assign the topspace value to the register. To have a document which goes till the bottom of the page you have to calculate the text height.

\setuplayout
  [footer=0pt,
   height=\dimexpr\paperheight-\topspace-\lineheight\relax]

\starttext \showgrid
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stoptext

\setuplayout question

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hello,

what is the *default* layout?  (I am especially interested in
bottomspace - in page-lay.mkiv I found bottomspace=0pt, but this seems
not to be the case - even after \setupfooter[state=stop] text does not
go to the bottom of the sheet.  Which parameter is responsible for that?
