[NTG-context] Arranging framed text without gaps
Dear all,
I am trying to create a table where the entries have determined width and
height. They typically are
something like
\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align={center,middle}{Text}
and I understand that I will be responsible for making the dimensions so that
everything fits nicely.
After playing around without much success with the various tables, I came up
with the following
which is not exactly ConTeXt-like:
\setupframed[
width=5cm,
height=4cm,
location={middle},
align={center,middle}
]
\setupbodyfont[24pt]
\starttext
\hbox{{\framed{Jim}}{\framed{Mary}}{\framed{John}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Patsy}}{\framed{Bob}}{\framed{Linda}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Mike}}{\framed{Babsy}}{\framed{Bill}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Liz}}{\framed{Dave}}{\framed{Jenny}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Dick}}{\framed{Sue}}{\framed{Chuck}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Maggie}}{\framed{Joe}}{\framed{Dolley}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Tom}}{\framed{Lisa}}{\framed{Chris}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Nancy}}{\framed{Paul}}{\framed{Betty}}}
\stoptext
I get small gaps between the horizontal rows which I don't like.
Also, in my (possibly not quite up to date) MkIV, the texts isn't centered.
In MkII it is.
My questions:
How do I
-- achieve the desired layout (exact dimensions, frames, no gaps) the right
way,
-- without gaps between horizontal rows
-- with text centered in the frames also in MkIV?
Thanks a lot -
Matthias

See Adityas answer for how to fix your current code.

There is no “right” way. Here's how I would approach that:
\usemodule
[database]
\definefont
[MyBigFont]
[Serif at 24pt]
\defineseparatedlist
[MyTable]
[before=\bTABLE, after=\eTABLE,
first=\bTR, last=\eTR,
left=\bTD, right=\eTD,
setups=my:table]
\startsetups [my:table]
\setupTABLE [split=yes, width=5cm, height=4cm, style=MyBigFont]
\setupTABLE [each] [align={middle,lohi}]
\stopsetups
\starttext
\startMyTable
Jim, Mary , John
Patsy , Bob , Linda
Mike , Babsy , Bill
Liz, Dave , Jenny
Dick , Sue , Chuck
Maggie , Joe , Dolley
Tom, Lisa , Chris
Nancy , Paul , Betty
\stopMyTable
\stoptext

This looks really clean. I wish I had known about this neat trick while
working on my thesis. I guess this is the difference between a novice
user and an expert user of ConTeXt.
Thank you Marco,
Devendra
