Help needed with slide grid layout

Help needed with slide grid layout

Dear list,

This is a follow-up question on my previous question about Jean-Luc Doumont
and his grid layouts. This time I have concrete questions. I reverse
engineered his slide (slide_grid_overlay.pdf). All his units are based on
inches, because the inch is an integer multiple (72) of the TeX point. His
base unit is 0.1in. I tried implementing the layout first, but the pdf
dimensions do not match the ones I set up. For example the width should be
8 inches, but the pdf is over 11 inches wide. I wish to shut off all
margins and similar things and only have a text area with an offset of
0.2in all around the page (see slide_grid_overlay.pdf). Here is my current
attempt:


%\input fonts


\definemeasure[base][0.1in]

\definemeasure[zero][0in]


\definepapersize[slide][width=80\measure{base},height=60\measure{base}]

\setuppapersize[slide]


\setuplayout[

leftedge=\measure{zero},

rightedge=\measure{zero},

leftedgedistance=\measure{zero},

rightedgedistance=\measure{zero},

leftmargin=\measure{zero},

rightmargin=\measure{zero},

leftmargindistance=\measure{zero},

rightmargindistance=\measure{zero},

width=middle,

cutspace=2\measure{base},

backspace=2\measure{base},

topspace=2\measure{base},

header=\measure{zero},

height=middle,

bottomspace=2\measure{base},

footer=\measure{zero}]


%\usetypescript[ibmplex][uc]

%\setupbodyfont[ibmplex,rm,9pt]





\starttext


\showlayout


\stoptext

You have to use the \measured (with a trailing s) command when you need
multiples of a measure value. When you use something like 2\measure{...}
ConTeXt uses the "2" followed by the value of the measure, the following
example demonstrates this in the second output.

%%%% begin example
\definemeasure [point] [1pt]

\starttext

\startbuffer
\tex{measure}: \measure{point}

\tex{measured}: \the\measured{point}
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer \getbuffer

\startbuffer
2\tex{measure}: 2\measure{point}

2\tex{measured}: \the\dimexpr2\measured{point}\relax
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer \getbuffer

\stoptext
%%%% end example

Wolfgang

I have problems setting up the grid in question. I cannot seem to configure
the grid spacing properly, despite combing through the "details" manual.
Could you help me configure the grid?
