# Relative Length A length in relation to some known length. This type is a combination of a [length] with a [ratio]. It results from addition and subtraction of a length and a ratio. Wherever a relative length is expected, you can also use a bare length or ratio. # Relative to the page A common use case is setting the width or height of a layout element (e.g., [block], [rect], etc.) as a certain percentage of the width of the page. Here, the rectangle's width is set to `{25%}`, so it takes up one fourth of the page's _inner_ width (the width minus margins). ```example #rect(width: 25%) ``` Bare lengths or ratios are always valid where relative lengths are expected, but the two can also be freely mixed: ```example #rect(width: 25% + 1cm) ``` If you're trying to size an element so that it takes up the page's _full_ width, you have a few options (this highly depends on your exact use case): 1. Set page margins to `{0pt}` (`[#set page(margin: 0pt)]`) 2. Multiply the ratio by the known full page width (`{21cm * 69%}`) 3. Use padding which will negate the margins (`[#pad(x: -2.5cm, ...)]`) 4. Use the page [background](page.background) or [foreground](page.foreground) field as those don't take margins into account (note that it will render the content outside of the document flow, see [place] to control the content position) # Relative to a container When a layout element (e.g. a [rect]) is nested in another layout container (e.g. a [block]) instead of being a direct descendant of the page, relative widths become relative to the container: ```example #block( width: 100pt, fill: aqua, rect(width: 50%), ) ``` # Scripting You can multiply relative lengths by [ratios]($ratio), [integers]($int), and [floats]($float). A relative length has the following fields: - `length`: Its length component. - `ratio`: Its ratio component. ```example #(100% - 50pt).length \ #(100% - 50pt).ratio ```
