Extra Whitespace in Footer.

Extra Whitespace in Footer.

[Stirling Westrup]

Thanks to the help I've been getting, I've almost got my layout
working. The only remaining problem seems to be that the footer
automatically inserts some whitespace above my framed text. The intent
is for it to be flush to the top of the footer.

What do I need to change?


\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackground[background=color, backgroundcolor=black]
\setuppapersize[letter]

\setuplayout
  [ location=doublesided,
    marking=on,
    topspace=1cm,       % space at top of page
    bottomspace=1cm,    % space at bottom of page
    backspace=2cm,      % spine side of page
    cutspace=1cm,       % outer side of page
    header=0cm,
    footer=2cm,
    bottom=2cm,
    margin=0cm,
    width=middle,
    height=middle,
  ]

\newbox\FootBox
\setbox\FootBox=\hbox
  { \framed
      [ align=right,
        frame=off,
        topframe=on,
        width=\textwidth,
        offset=none,
        framecolor=blue,
      ]
      {\bf \tfxx datasheet:}
  }

\setuplayout[footer=\dimexpr\ht\FootBox+\dp\FootBox]
\setupfootertexts[{\copy\FootBox}]

\starttext
\showframe[text]
test
\stoptext

settting footerdistance to 0cm doesn't seem to change anything.

there is a strut:
try
\showstruts

By default
\setupfooter[strut=yes]
so put
\setupfooter[strut=no]
Also watch for spurios spaces in \FooBox
Here is my version

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackground[background=color, backgroundcolor=black]
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]

\newbox\FootBox


\setuplayout
 [ location=doublesided,
   marking=on,
   topspace=1cm,       % space at top of page
   bottomspace=1cm,    % space at bottom of page
   backspace=2cm,      % spine side of page
   cutspace=1cm,       % outer side of page
   header=0cm,
   footer=2cm,
   bottom=2cm,
   margin=0cm,
   width=middle,
   height=middle,
 ]

\setbox\FootBox=\hbox{\framed
     [ align=right,
       frame=on,
       topframe=on,
       width=\textwidth,
       offset=none,
       framecolor=blue,
     ]
     {\bf \tfxx datasheet:}}
\setupfooter[strut=no]
\setuplayout[footer={\dimexpr\ht\FootBox+\dp\FootBox\relax}]
\setupfootertexts[{\copy\FootBox}]


\showstruts
\showlayout
\showframe
\starttext
\dorecurse{20}{\input tufte }test
\stoptext
