rule=on in \columnset?

rule=on in \columnset?

[Jelle Huisman]

Hi all,

Maybe I miss something, but it looks there is no rule=on command for use 
in columnsets? I just want a vertical line between the columns in my 
columnset, how do I get that?

Thanks,

Jelle

Answering myself: I have found this solution, using an MP background: 
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080305.203901.d1d3eccf.en.html

%sample%
\definecolumnset[example][n=3,distance=5mm]

\startuseMPgraphic{columnrule}
path p ; p := unitsquare xyscaled (OverlayWidth+5mm,OverlayHeight) ;
draw lrcorner p -- urcorner p ;
setbounds currentpicture to p ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[columnrule][\useMPgraphic{columnrule}]

\setupcolumnset[example][1,2][background=columnrule]

\setupcolumnsetlines[example][2][1][-26]
\setupcolumnsetlines[example][2][2][-26]
\setupcolumnsetlines[example][2][3][-26]

\starttext

\startcolumnset[example]
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
\stopcolumnset

\stoptext
%/sample%

The only problem is that the height of the columnrule is fixed, which 
doesn't look right with balanced columns :-( Would it be possible to 
force this MPgraphic{columnrule} to use the actual height of the 
balanced columns, instead of going all the way down to the bottom of the 
page regardless of the actual column height? Or should I give up on this 
question? (I'm on MkII/XeTeX for this project, so no lua based solution 
possible.)

Many thanks,

Jelle

I will do that, but preferably together with an answer to my question...

Thanks Wolfgang!, this is precisely what I need. I'll wikify it. (Think 
it's time to learn some MP...)

Oeps, I have found one problem: if there is text before the columnset, 
like a chapter header, the text in the columnset moves down but the 
{columnrule} stays at the top of the page... How can I modify the code 
the make sure that this doesn't happen? See sample:

%sample%
\definecolumnset[example][n=3,distance=5mm]

\startuseMPgraphic{columnrule}
path p ; p := unitsquare xyscaled (OverlayWidth+5mm,OverlayHeight) ;
draw (xpart(urcorner p),ypart(urcorner
p)-\the\dimexpr\noflines\lineheight\relax) -- urcorner p ;
setbounds currentpicture to p ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[columnrule][\useMPgraphic{columnrule}]

 \setupcolumnset[example][1,2][balance=yes,background=columnrule]
 \setupcolumnsetlines[example][1][1][-35]
 \setupcolumnsetlines[example][1][2][-35]
 \setupcolumnsetlines[example][1][3][-35]

 \starttext

%\input knuth % <- uncomment this to see problem

 \startcolumnset[example]
 \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth}
 \stopcolumnset
 \stoptext
 %/sample%

Thanks again,

Jelle (MkII/XeTeX)
