Re: [NTG-context] Help needed with slide grid layout
I have problems setting up the grid in question. I cannot seem to configure
the grid spacing properly, despite combing through the "details" manual.
Could you help me configure the grid?

Dear list,
This is a follow-up question on my previous question about Jean-Luc
Doumont and his grid layouts. This time I have concrete questions. I
reverse engineered his slide (slide_grid_overlay.pdf). All his units are
based on inches, because the inch is an integer multiple (72) of the TeX
point. His base unit is 0.1in. I tried implementing the layout first,
but the pdf dimensions do not match the ones I set up. For example the
width should be 8 inches, but the pdf is over 11 inches wide. I wish to
shut off all margins and similar things and only have a text area with
an offset of 0.2in all around the page (see slide_grid_overlay.pdf).
Here is my current attempt:
You have to use the \measured (with a trailing s) command when you need
multiples of a measure value. When you use something like 2\measure{...}
ConTeXt uses the "2" followed by the value of the measure, the following
example demonstrates this in the second output.
begin example
\definemeasure [point] [1pt]
\starttext
\startbuffer
\tex{measure}: \measure{point}
\tex{measured}: \the\measured{point}
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer \getbuffer
\startbuffer
2\tex{measure}: 2\measure{point}
2\tex{measured}: \the\dimexpr2\measured{point}\relax
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer \getbuffer
\stoptext
end example

[NTG-context] Help needed with slide grid layout
Dear list,
This is a follow-up question on my previous question about Jean-Luc Doumont
and his grid layouts. This time I have concrete questions. I reverse
engineered his slide (slide_grid_overlay.pdf). All his units are based on
inches, because the inch is an integer multiple (72) of the TeX point. His
base unit is 0.1in. I tried implementing the layout first, but the pdf
dimensions do not match the ones I set up. For example the width should be
8 inches, but the pdf is over 11 inches wide. I wish to shut off all
margins and similar things and only have a text area with an offset of
0.2in all around the page (see slide_grid_overlay.pdf). Here is my current
attempt:
%\input fonts
\definemeasure[base][0.1in]
\definemeasure[zero][0in]
\definepapersize[slide][width=80\measure{base},height=60\measure{base}]
\setuppapersize[slide]
\setuplayout[
leftedge=\measure{zero},
rightedge=\measure{zero},
leftedgedistance=\measure{zero},
rightedgedistance=\measure{zero},
leftmargin=\measure{zero},
rightmargin=\measure{zero},
leftmargindistance=\measure{zero},
rightmargindistance=\measure{zero},
width=middle,
cutspace=2\measure{base},
backspace=2\measure{base},
topspace=2\measure{base},
header=\measure{zero},
height=middle,
bottomspace=2\measure{base},
footer=\measure{zero}]
%\usetypescript[ibmplex][uc]
%\setupbodyfont[ibmplex,rm,9pt]
\starttext
\showlayout
\stoptext
