Hello all,
Is it possible to create a new dimension ConTeXt register directly in
Lua, or I have to first create the ConTeXt dimensional register and then
to subsequently assign it a value?
Here is example:
\starttext
\newdimen\mydimension
\directlua{tex.setdimen(mydimension, 123)}

Thanks Wolfgang for the reply,
but I must have misunderstood. My point is, that TeX registers was
subsequently visible and usable in TeX (eg for width or height of boxes,
etc.)
Eg. for example, \the\mydimension can see that this does not occur!
In addition, I solve the problem at LuaTEX, so

Thank to Hans and Peter too.
It works in context fine now. I would like realize this same in pure LuaTeX.
I was primarily in the query for it to find Lua equivalent of TeX
primitives \newdimen and \newcount (for direct creating new TeX registers)
I could use something like
Great!!!
Thanx very much Hans...
Normally I do all things in ConTeXt, but I am preparing a beginning
tutorial for users of LaTeX and PlainTeX, who would be interested in
getting to know the basics LuaTEX. Therefore I am seeking a solution
applicable in LuaLaTeX and LuaPlain too.
