\setuptolerance

\setuptolerance

[Richard Gabriel]

Hello all,

could somebody explain me the usage of the \setuptolerance command and 
its particular parameters?
I've found several forms of this command, but no explanation of them at 
all...

The main ConTeXt manual (cont-eni.pdf, pages 87-88) only mentions that 
it is used [horizontal,verystrict] and [vertical,strict] by default... 
Should I issue two \setuptolerance commands to setup up horizontal and 
vertical tolerance?

On contextgarden.net I've found one example using the following form:

\setuptolerance		[{horizontal, verytolerant},{vertical, verystrict}]

...tried this, but it produces "Overfull \hbox" at almost every third 
line... :-(

Currently I use the setup:
\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]
which gives quite good results, but I don't know what it exactly does (I 
googled it somewhere)...


Thanks for help.

Richard

I have put an explanation on texshow-web:

I wonder what the vertical form is for (columns?).

This looks incorrect to me. See my comment on texshow-web.

Hello Patrick,

thank you very much!
Hopely I understand right, that the command

\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]
( or \setuptolerance[horizontal,verytolerant,stretch] )

will result to
\tolerance 4500\emergencystretch\bodyfontsize

:-)
