First and last lines on a grid

First and last lines on a grid

[Oliver Buerschaper]

Dear all,

I'm having a little trouble with grids and page layout…

I'm trying to align the first and last line of a page properly with the frame of the textblock. That is, I'd like to position the first baseline a certain distance below the textblock's upper border (say, the height of a "C" or even "É") and the last baseline a certain distance above the textblock's lower border (say, the actual depth of a "g").

How would I do that? I tried playing with "\setupinterlinespace", however, its options "top" and "bottom" appear to set relative distances. Once I change the leading funny things happen… like an empty first line.

Also I'd like to typeset the page number flush with the lower border of the footer frame. How would I achieve that?

Please find the source code of my attempt below.

Oliver

That's wonderful!

Any idea about the other thing?

Thanks,
Oliver

I just realized that when I use oldstyle figures any pagenumber with a descender is bumped upwards a little. Is there a way to have them protrude (vertically) beyond the frame border?

This should do the trick:

\define[1]\PagenumberCommand
  {\smash[d]{#1}}

\setuppagenumbering
  [  strut=no,
   command=\PagenumberCommand]

And how well it does it!

Now I managed to align the last line of the grid with the textblock's frame:

---
\definemeasure
    [gridWidth]
    [\dimexpr\paperwidth/9\relax]
\definemeasure
    [gridHeight]
    [\dimexpr\paperheight/9\relax]
\definemeasure
    [leading]
    [\dimexpr(6\measure{gridHeight}+\strutdepth)/20\relax]

\setuplayout
    [grid=yes,
     backspace=\measure{gridWidth},
     width=\dimexpr6\measure{gridWidth}\relax,
     topspace=\measure{gridHeight},
     height=\dimexpr7\measure{gridHeight}\relax,
     leftmargin=\zeropoint,
     rightmargin=\zeropoint,
     header=\zeropoint,
     footer=\measure{gridHeight}]

\setupinterlinespace
    [line=\measure{leading}]

\define[1]\PageNumberCommand{\smash[d]{#1}}
\setuppagenumbering
    [alternative=doublesided,
     location={footer,right},
     strut=no,
     command=\PageNumberCommand]



\starttext


\showframe
\showgrid

É
\dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par}


\stoptext
---

This only leaves the task of aligning the first line, too. How would I achieve this?
