[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 590 bytes --]

hi, all
   I use the following setting:
\setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape]
\setuplayout[
  backspace=1.0cm,
  leftedge=0.5cm,
  leftedgedistance=0.5cm,
  rightedgewidth=0.1cm,
  leftmarginwidth=0.1cm,
  leftmargindistance=0.1cm,
  rightedgedistance=0.1cm,
  rightmarginwidth = 0.1cm,
  rightmargindistance = 0.1cm,
  headerdistance=0.5cm,
  footerdistance=0.5cm,
  topdistance=0.5cm,
  width=fit,
  height=fit]
\starttext
\showlayout
\stoptext

but the rightmarginwidth = 3.7569cm, not 0.1cm, I do not know why?
what should I do to widen the texwidth?
Thanks!

BEST REGARDS

Which is a good explanation, and he explains how vertical dimensions
work, too. Allow me to add this e-mail to answer another question you
will probably have: "What about the marginwidth, margindistance,
edgewidth, and edgedistance? Those are also horizontal values!"

A good question. The answer is that ‘margin’ means two things:
1. the space between the edge of the textblock and the boundary of the paper
2. a typesetting area inside that space, in which marginal material is typeset.

Inside \setuplayout, margin has the second meaning: marginwidth is the
width of the margin, and margindistance the distance between the text
area and the margin area.

There are also the ‘edges’: these are typesetting areas outside the
margin areas. Some uses I can think of: colouring the edge of the page
in a guidebook with sections; placing informative marks in general;
printing a sort of vertical header/footer; etc.

This is not a bad reference:

Sietse

I wrote a short seven page example where you can see both margins
don’t influence the layout because they’re just put on the sides like
attachments.

\setuppapersize[A4][A3]

\setuplayout
  [location=middle,
   header=0pt,
   footer=0pt]

\setuppagenumbering[location=]

\definefont[BigFont][Mono*none sa 4]

\starttext

\showframe[page]
\centerbox{\BigFont PAGE}\page

\setuplayout
  [backspace=2cm,
   cutspace=2cm,
   width=middle,
   topspace=2cm,
   bottomspace=2cm,
   height=middle]

\showframe[text]
\centerbox{\BigFont TEXTBLOCK}\page

\setuplayout
  [header=2cm,
   headerdistance=1cm,
   footer=2cm,
   footerdistance=1cm]

\showframe[header,footer]
\centerbox{\BigFont HEADER/FOOTER}\page

\setuplayout
  [leftmargin=2cm,
   leftmargindistance=1cm]

\showframe[leftmargin]
\centerbox{\BigFont LEFTMARGIN}\page

\setuplayout
  [leftedge=2cm,
   leftedgedistance=1cm]

\showframe[leftedge]
\centerbox{\BigFont LEFTEDGE}\page

\setuplayout
  [rightmargin=2cm,
   rightmargindistance=1cm]

\showframe[rightmargin]
\centerbox{\BigFont RIGHTMARGIN}\page

\setuplayout
  [rightedge=2cm,
   rightedgedistance=1cm]

\showframe[rightedge]
\centerbox{\BigFont RIGHTEDGE}\page

\stoptext
