dotted line for \framed ?

dotted line for \framed ?

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

is there a command for \framed and \inframed
like for \setupunderbar[alternative=b]:

that gives a dotted (bottom) line?

Thank you,

Steffen

You could do this by using a metpost graphic as background. I'm in a
hurry, so untested, but something similar should work.

\startuniqueMPgraphic{DottedFrame}
	draw (0,0) --(\overlaywidth,0) dashed withdots;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[DottedFrame]{\uniqueMPgraphic{DottedFrame}}

\starttext
  \framed[frame=off,offset=overlay,background=DottedFrame]{How nice!}
\stoptext

Hi,

humble, I was playing with this code. Yes there is a dotted line but 
above the text. Looking up the issue in the Metafun manual page 112 
results in the following solution:

\startuniqueMPgraphic{DottedFrame}
	pickup pencircle scaled 1.5pt ;
	path p ;
	p := unitsquare xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight ;
%	fill p withcolor .8white ;
	draw bottomboundary p dashed withdots withcolor .625red ;
	draw rightboundary p dashed withdots withcolor .625red ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[DotFrame][\uniqueMPgraphic{DottedFrame}]

\setupframedtexts[background=DotFrame,width=fit,frame=off,offest=3pt]

\starttext
    \framedtext{How nice!}
\stoptext
