In several palces I want to set up framed text
with a gray background and rounded corners. Here
is my \setupframed description:
\setupframed[
framecorner=round,
frameradius=0.1,
background=screen,
backgroundscreen=0.70,
backgroundcorner=round,
backgroundradius=0.1,
corner=round,
radius=0.1
]
--------------------
And here is my first framed text:
--------------------------
\startframedtext[middle]
\centerline{A Vision Example}
\QQ{[In the year 20xx], our
company is internationally recognized as the
premier supplier of [your food products]. We
regularly exceed customer expectations by
providing innovative and valuable [your food
products] .}
\stopframedtext
------------------------------------
The hangup seems to be the rounded corners.
I am using texlive 2014.
BTW the macro QQ is my shorthand for \quotation
which is much to long IMO. But I am American and
use double quotes a lot.
\def\QQ#1{\quotation{#1}}
That is not the problem. Everything works until
I try to use rounded corners. The customer had
them on the last edition of the book, probably
done with MSWord (!)
All answers appreciated.

Hi John, this should work: \setupframed[framecorner=round, frameradius=0.1em, background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.70, backgroundcorner=round, backgroundradius=0.1em, corner=round, radius=0.1em] Radius, framedradius and backgroundradius expect dimensions as values, not mere numbers. BTW, having a sample that shows the problem increases the reply speed :-).

I built a sample and then played with the em value. Lacking precise guidance I thought that the value was one of those 0 to 1 ranges. Not so. setting at 1.0 em gives me what I was looking for. The setting 0.1 em gave me rounding that was imperceptible without magnification.

I put commands like the one under discussion in a separate file called "macros.tex" which is hte first file called in my standard "book.tex" top level file. For some reason it didn't work. So I copied it to just before my first text frame in the 'chapter01.tex' file. Then it worked for that frame and subsequent instances. Here is my book.tex file as used in my current project: \input variables.tex \input macros.tex \input fonts.tex \starttext %\showlayout \startfrontmatter \input half.tex \input title.tex \input contents.tex \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter %\input sample3.tex \input body.tex \stopbodymatter \stoptext I will add more calls later for acknowledgements, appendices etc. all in separate subfiles. \body.tex is a subfile that calls the individual chapter subsubfiles. Variables.tex contains the definitions of title, subtitle, author, publisher, ISBN etc. John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/! ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
