\showlayout values

\showlayout values

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

    \setuplayout[backspace=2.5cm, cutspace=2.5\backspace,
      rightmargin=1.75\leftmarginwidth, width=middle]
    \showframe
    \starttext
        \showlayout
    \stoptext

Values equal to 0pt are written as 0ptpt. I guess this might be a typo
somewhere in the code.

But I would like to know the actual values of rightedge and
rightedgedistance.

I assume I’m missing something. But if the right margin shows its outer
edge, there should be a measure that shows the distance between the
right margin edge and the right paper rim. Or shouldn’t it be?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

edges and top/bottom are virtual and the dimensions shown are their 
dimensions and not related to paper rim

Many thanks for the fast fix, Hans.

In that case, which is the way to control distance from margin outer
edge and paper rim?

Many thanks for your help,
