Hello
I try to use layers to position a figure on top of the leftmargin area.
I use code like the following:
\definelayer[MyLayer][option=test]
\setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background=MyLayer]
\setlayer[MyLayer][x=0cm,y=0cm]
{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
This image get's repeated every page but I only want it on the first
page. The parameter state=start does not change anything. Is there a way
to disable the layer on the next page?
Hi Reza,
I don’t know whether this is a bug or a feature.
But this document might achieve what (I guess) you want (as you wrote
yourself):
\definelayer[MyLayer]
\setlayer[MyLayer][x=0cm,y=4.5cm]
{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=MyLayer]
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}
\stoptext
Also there seems to be a bug with \showframe. When I use this command
my figure is only displayed on the first page (as desired).
I wasn’t able to reproduce this.
Placing \showframe before of after \setupbackgrounds in the previous
document, states (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers#State) work fine.
I hope it helps,
Pablo

Thanks Pablo
I already used this solution. For me it looks like a bug that the state
argument does not change anything because the manual clearly states the
expected behaviour of state.
But anyhow I'll use the other solution.
Cheers,
Reza

[NTG-context] Problems with repeating layers
Hello
I try to use layers to position a figure on top of the leftmargin area. I
use code like the following:
\definelayer[MyLayer][option=test]
\setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background=MyLayer]
\setlayer[MyLayer][x=0cm,y=0cm]
{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
This image get's repeated every page but I only want it on the first page.
The parameter state=start does not change anything. Is there a way to
disable the layer on the next page. Also there seems to be a bug with
\showframe. When I use this command my figure is only displayed on the
first page (as desired).
When I use
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=MyLayer]
this problem does not occur. But I have to shift the figure to place it in
the leftmargin.
I tried to use another concept like
\definelayer[test]
\startuseMPgraphic{oeps}
register (somepos-1,0cm,0cm,center currentpicture) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\setMPlayer [test] [somepos-1]
{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
\getMPlayer [test] {\useMPgraphic{oeps}}
but that does not seem to work at all.
Thanks for any help
Cheers,
Reza
