Here is my minimal example:
\newdimen\lsize
\def\contentofvbox{\input ward }
\def\setmybox{\setbox0=\vbox{\hsize=\lsize \contentofvbox}}
\starttext
Height of box via ConTeXt (works fine):
\setmybox
\lsize=5cm
\dorecurse{3}{%
\lsize=\dimexpr(\lsize+7mm)
\setmybox
height of box: \the\ht0\par
width of box: \the\wd0\par
\box0\par
}
\page
... and Height of box via Lua (do not working):
\setmybox
\ctxlua{
tex.dimen.lsize=5*72.27*65536/25.4
for i=1, 3 do
tex.dimen.lsize=tex.dimen.lsize+7*72.27*65536/25.4
context([[\setmybox]])
local heightbox=tex.box[0].height
local widthbox=tex.box[0].width
heightbox=(heightbox*2.84527559067*25.4)/(72.27*65536)
widthbox=(widthbox*2.84527559067*25.4)/(72.27*65536)
context([[height of box:]]..heightbox..pt\\par)
context([[width of box:]]..widthbox..pt\\par)
context([[\box0\par]])
end
}
\stoptext
Try this one:
\def\setmybox{\setbox0=\vbox{\hsize=\lsize\input knuth \par}}
\newdimen\lsize
\lsize=5cm
\starttext
Height of box via ConTeXt (works fine):
\setmybox
\lsize=5cm
\dorecurse{3}{%
\lsize=\dimexpr(\lsize+7mm)
\setmybox
height of box: \the\ht0\par
width of box: \the\wd0\par
\box0\par
}
\page
... and Height of box via Lua (does it work ?):
\setmybox
\ctxlua{tex.dimen.lsize=5*72.27*65536/25.4;i=0}
\dorecurse{3}{%
\ctxlua{
--[=[ for i=1, 3 do ]=]
i=i+1
tex.dimen.lsize=tex.dimen.lsize+7*72.27*65536/25.4
context([[\setmybox]])
}
\ctxlua{
local heightbox=tex.box[0].height
local widthbox=tex.box[0].width
heightbox=(heightbox*2.84527559067*25.4)/(72.27*65536)
widthbox=(widthbox*2.84527559067*25.4)/(72.27*65536)
context(i..[[ height of box:]]..heightbox..pt :
..(tex.box[0].height/2^16)..pt\\par)
context(i..[[ width of box:]]..widthbox..pt :
..(tex.box[0].width/2^16)..pt\\par)
context([[\box0\par]])
--[=[ end ]=]
}

Re: [NTG-context] Testing the changing dimensions of boxes (in cycles) via Lua
Thanks very much to Luigi.
Your solution really works.
Can you please explain why you doing this? My point is that if I have
the LUA code in a separate lua file (loaded with the Contex via
\directlua{dofile(filename.lua)}) (for example as a separate Lua
function), so I'm probably not so to do (how you did it in your example).
Or perhaps in this case there is any way?
Thanks
Jaroslav

[NTG-context] Testing the changing dimensions of boxes (in cycles) via Lua
Hello ConTeXist and Lua experts.
In a my Lua project I need to determine the changing dimensions of the
TeX \vbox through Lua.
In ConTeXt cycle, it works fine, but in the Lua cycle does not change
the dimensions of the box.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
