the meaning of cutspace

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

I need to set up 1.5cm/2cm page borders.

Backspace in layout setup gives me expected result (distance from page 
to the text). According to the wiki, cutspace should do the same for 
opposite side of the page, but it doesnt. So, I cannot get the meaning 
of cutspace.

\setuplayout[topspace=2cm, header=0cm, footer=0.6cm, bottomspace=2cm, 
height=fit,

%leftmargin=1.5cm, rightmargin=2cm,

backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=2cm, width=fit]

\setuppagenumbering[location={footer,middle}, alternative=doublesided, 
style=\tfx]

\showlayout\showsetups\showframe

\bye


Regards,
Vyatcheslav

I'm not sure, but what about
width=middle
?

Don't use both backspace and cutspace at the same time.

Hello Vyatcheslav,

You must be sure, that leftmargin + leftmargindistance <= backspace
and rightmargin + rightmargindistance <= cutspace.

Working example:

\setuplayout[leftmargin=1cm, rightmargin=1.5cm,
  leftmargindistance=2mm, rightmargindistance=2mm,
  backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=2cm, width=fit]

Cheers, Peter

I'm sorry, Taco is right. There is indeed a problem here...

Instead of "cutspace=2cm, width=fit" you could write
"width=\dimexpr \paperwidth - 35mm \relax".

Hello,

 From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout:

backspace 	\backspace <javascript:show_command('backspace')> 	from left 
rim of paper to left rim of main text area


cutspace 	\cutspace <javascript:show_command('cutspace')> 	from right 
rim of paper to right rim of main text area


Either the description is wrong, or... the thoughts stop here :))

\setuplayout[backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=5cm, width=middle]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\showframe
\starttext
\showlayout
\stoptext


I am using big space so that it is easy to see the difference.

Another old example from me but i wonder if the output from your example is correct,
when i set 'width=middle' i expect the same margin on both sides (i.e. the backspace
setting) and the cutspace value is ignored.

\definelayout[1][backspace=4cm,width=12cm]
\definelayout[2][backspace=5cm,cutspace=7cm,width=fit]
\definelayout[3][backspace=3cm,width=middle]

\showframe

\starttext

\dorecurse{3}
  {\starttabulate
   \NC backspace \EQ \PtToCm\backspace \NC\NR
   \NC textwidth \EQ \PtToCm\textwidth \NC\NR
   \NC cutspace  \EQ \PtToCm\cutspace  \NC\NR
   \stoptabulate
   \page}

\stoptext

After reading the source 'width=middle' make sense, when both backspace and cutspace
are set the width of the textarea is 'paperwidth - backspace - cutspace' but when
cutspace is set to 0pt the textarea is 'paperwidth - 2*backspace'.

Hello Wolfgang,

I'm sorry, I still don't understand...  When width=middle adjusts the width
to "paperwidth - backspace - cutspace", what should width=fit then do?
What does "middle" mean, in the middle of *what*?

I suggest, that specifying backspace + cutspace + width=middle should
output an error or warning, and backspace + cutspace + width=fit should do
it right...

Cheers, Peter

The first thing context does is to check the value of width:
(the width of the textarea is stored in \makeupwidth, not \textwidth)

1. width=middle

if cutspace=0pt then cutspace=backspace endif

makeupwidth = paperwidth - backspace - cutspace


2. width=fit

when i look at the source i don't know if anyone want this setting because
very complicated and the calculation is

makeupwidth = paperwidth - (backspace - leftmargin - leftmargindistance - leftedge - ...) - (cutspace - rightmargin - ...)


3. width=<dimen>

makeupwidth = <dimen>


Example:

\definelayout[1][backspace=4cm,width=12cm]
\definelayout[2][backspace=5cm,cutspace=7cm,width=middle]
\definelayout[3][backspace=3cm,cutspace=0pt,width=middle]
\definelayout[4][backspace=4cm,width=fit]
\definelayout[5][backspace=4cm,leftmargin=3cm,width=fit]
\definelayout[6][backspace=4cm,leftmargin=4cm,width=fit]
\definelayout[7][backspace=4cm,leftmargin=2cm,width=fit]
\definelayout[8][backspace=4cm,leftmargin=2cm,rightmargin=3cm,width=fit]
\definelayout[9][backspace=4cm,leftmargin=2cm,rightmargin=4cm,width=fit]
\definelayout[10][backspace=4cm,leftmargin=2cm,rightmargin=2cm,width=fit]

\showframe

\starttext

\dorecurse{10}
  {\starttabulate
   \NC backspace \EQ \PtToCm\backspace \NC\NR
   \NC textwidth \EQ \PtToCm\textwidth \NC\NR
   \NC cutspace  \EQ \PtToCm\cutspace  \NC\NR
   \stoptabulate
   \page}

\stoptext

Yes! It works!
I don't understand it; it's like another magic trick )

\setuppapersize [A5][A5]

\setuplayout[topspace=2cm, header=0cm, footer=0.6cm, bottomspace=2cm, 
height=fit,

backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=2cm,

Never mind, I was confused (never use width=middle myself)
