Dear all,
I am trying to create a table where the entries have determined width and height. They typically are
something like
\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align={center,middle}{Text}
and I understand that I will be responsible for making the dimensions so that everything fits nicely.
After playing around without much success with the various tables, I came up with the following
which is not exactly ConTeXt-like:
\setupframed[
width=5cm,
height=4cm,
location={middle},
align={center,middle}
]
\setupbodyfont[24pt]
\starttext
\hbox{{\framed{Jim}}{\framed{Mary}}{\framed{John}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Patsy}}{\framed{Bob}}{\framed{Linda}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Mike}}{\framed{Babsy}}{\framed{Bill}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Liz}}{\framed{Dave}}{\framed{Jenny}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Dick}}{\framed{Sue}}{\framed{Chuck}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Maggie}}{\framed{Joe}}{\framed{Dolley}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Tom}}{\framed{Lisa}}{\framed{Chris}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Nancy}}{\framed{Paul}}{\framed{Betty}}}
\stoptext
I get small gaps between the horizontal rows which I don't like.
Also, in my (possibly not quite up to date) MkIV, the texts isn't centered.
In MkII it is.
My questions:
How do I
-- achieve the desired layout (exact dimensions, frames, no gaps) the right way,
-- without gaps between horizontal rows
-- with text centered in the frames also in MkIV?
Thanks a lot -
Matthias

I wish I had known about this neat trick while working on my thesis. I guess this is the difference between a novice user and an expert user of ConTeXt.
