How to align baselines?

How to align baselines?

[Helin Gai]

Hi all,

I have some difficulty lining up the baselines of two frames... Here's
what I did:

\hbox to\hsize{%
\setupframed[frame=off]%
\vtop{chapter \switchtobodyfont[20pt] 1}\quad%
\vtop{\framed[width=6cm,align=right]{Test}}

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Thanks a lot!

Helin

Hi Helin,

if you want to make your own chapter layout, use the command option
in the \setuphead setup.

To get a frame that is lined up with the current baseline use the \inframed
command instead of the normal \framed command.


\showgrid

\starttext

\line
  {\setupframed[frame=off]%
   \vtop{chapter \switchtobodyfont[20pt] 1}\quad%
   \llap{\inframed[width=6cm,align=right]{Test}}}

\stoptext

you need to make sure that the second box has the same height

\hbox to\hsize{
    \setupframed[frame=off]%
    \switchtobodyfont[20pt]%
    \vtop{chapter \switchtobodyfont[20pt] 1}\quad
    \vtop{\inframed[width=6cm,align=right]{Test}}
}

or 

\hbox to\hsize{
    \setupframed[frame=off]%
    \setbox0=\vtop{chapter \switchtobodyfont[20pt] 1}
    \setbox2=\vtop{\inframed[width=6cm,align=right]{Test}}
    \ht2=\ht0
    \box0\quad\box2
}

\inframed does the lowering
