adapt fontsize to given width

adapt fontsize to given width

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

    \showframe
    \starttext
    {\setupbodyfont[120pt]My Title}
    \stoptext

Is there a way to make ConTeXt automatically calculate the size of the
\setupbodyfont, so that the passage fits exactly to text width?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

\starttext

\WidthSpanningText{My Title}{\textwidth}{Serif}

\WidthSpanningText{My Title}{12cm}{MonoBold}

\WidthSpanningText{My Title}{14cm}{SansItalic}

\stoptext

There is a MP solution:

\starttext
\startMPcode
   draw textext("My Title") xsized TextWidth ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

Another solution is to use the \scale command:

\starttext
\scale[width=\textwidth]{My Title}
\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

That was what I was looking for.

There is a minor issue with alignment:

    \starttext

    \startalign[center]
    \widthspanningtext{text}{.5\textwidth}{Serif}
    \stopalign

    \hfill\widthspanningtext{text}{.5\textwidth}{Serif}

    \stoptext

Am I missing something or is \hfill the only way to align the contents
from \widthspanningtext?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

Many thanks for the new rely, Wolfgang.

I think this is easier to remember.

And replying to my previous question \dontleavehmode allows right (I
mean correct ;-)) alignment.

Many thanks for your help,

Many thanks for your reply, Alan.

It’s good to know that MP fits perfectly here.

Many thanks for your help,

Use

    \midaligned{\WidthSpanningText{…}{…}{…}}

or

    \startlinealignment[middle]
        \WidthSpanningText{…}{…}{…}
    \stoplinealignment
