The layer is now only defined and has some content, but is not related to any page element. So you has to define it as the background of some pageelement: \setupbackgrounds[page][background=mylayer] or you have to "flush" it (but I don't know what this is supposed to do, maybe it's just another way of calling the OTR -- see below) \flushlayer[mylayer] > You have to invoke the OTR. OTR = Output Routine Without invoking the OTR nothing is generated.

The last alternative I know of: instead of defining the layer as background for the page, you can just call \flushlayer[mylayer] But this positions the layer relative to the textarea (and not the pagearea) and produces a standard layout with pagenumber, too, if you don't use standardmakeup. This has helped, to make some concepts regarding layers clear to me;-) Regards Uwe ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
