Thanks for your reply Pablo. I didn't see it till just now because for
some reason it ended up in my junk folder, along with a number of other
ConTeXt messages. You will probably have seen my reply to the list with
the three solutions, now we have four!
Yep, I know that A4 is the default page
Hi,
I've experimented this morning with the solutions suggested by Wolfgang
and Alan in reply to my post.
The solution is really quite simple as suggested by Wolfgang i.e.
\centerbox{..}. I have applied this to the code and I now have three
different solutions to my initial problem. The Joy
Thanks Wolfgang and Alan! I will experiment with them tomorrow.
Best Wishes

Hello!
What is the current most contextish way for absolute positioning of
text (still using MK II)? I have to create a title page for a document
where several frameless boxes of text have to be placed on the page.
Is this still the layer mechanism? I mean, ConTeXt evolves so quickly,

extend your example with
\clip[width=.15\paperwidth,heigh
Example:
\definelayer[layer2a][width=.15\paperwidth]
\setlayer [layer2a]
[x=.15\paperwidth, y=.5\paperheight]
{\externalfigure[layTest][width=.75\paperwidth]}
I was expecting to have the layTest figure cut after its width exceeds
the layer's width.

Now, I tried with overlays and layers. That's fine. In any case, in a
second approach I simply used \setlayer to fill repeatedly the same
layer.
(Thanks Hans)

Uhm, I don't think I understood. In wiki layers are, in some way,
opposite to overlay. How do I put a layer in an overlay?

In case of presentations sometimes one has to combine many figures in

powerpoint.

that layers, which can be placed acco

Hi all,
I'm quite new to ConTeXt, but I've been working with LaTeX for several years
now. Now I faced a problem which I'm not able to solve in LaTeX which
probably can be solved in ConTeXt:

where the setups specify where the content should be
