Hi all,

how to step repeat* the image.  Here is what I have:
\useexternalfigure[cover][background]
\defineoverlay[cover][{\externalfigure[cover][repeat=yes]}]
\starttext
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=cover]
\startstandardmakeup
My title goes here
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext
As one might expect, I get a tiny tile in the centre of the page.  Any ideas?
undocumented (needed for x-fo):
\backgroundimage{1}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow][width=3cm]}

[NTG-context] Step repeat pdf in overlay

Hi all,

I've created a small (15x15 mm) tile image (actually a vector PDF)
that I'd like repeat on a cover page but I'm at a bit of a loss as to
how to step repeat* the image.  Here is what I have:

\useexternalfigure[cover][background]
\defineoverlay[cover][{\externalfigure[cover][repeat=yes]}]
\starttext

Cheers,
