So I needed just tex.getdimensionvalue(namespace..name)

just use tex.getmeasure in the upcoming

Not to be misunderstood, I couldn’t check yet, maybe I wasn’t clear:

I need to process the measure as a dimension, like \measured{Bleed}.

As far as I tried, neither tex.measured nor context.measured worked (but I wouldn’t swear on it, maybe I had a different error).

I understand now that a dimension in Lua is just a string.

no, it is a number (scaled points or sp) but it can have a string representation

I also messed a few thing up when I converted my macros from measure-macros to measures.

Now my image calculations work again. Phew!
