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
PengCZ

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
