Re: [NTG-context] overlay or layer for chapter head.
Hi,
Maybe you need to say state=repeat in the definition of your layer:
\definelayer[chapterbackground][state=repeat]
Best regards: OK

Date: 2 April 2015 1:19:03 AEDT
I am redoing a book for a client. Each chapter
head has a fancy design. I want to reproduce that
fancy page but still have the \chapter
statement for running heads, TOC etc.
Is there a way that I can overlay the entire
chapter first page with a graphic, ideally a one
page pdf file.
I have tried workarounds with
\startstandardmakeup,\writetolist,
\definemarking etc. but the whole thing is
getting too complicated. I just want to overlay a
the entire page with a graphic yet have
the real content of the page still available for
TOC, running head, indexing terms etc.
Any suggestions?

Hi John,
I did this recently by defining a layer and putting an image in it using
\setlayer, in a macro called just before chapters are started:
\definelayer[chapterbackground]
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\unexpanded\def\chapterbefore{
\setlayer[chapterbackground]{%
\externalfigure[mill.png]
[width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
}
\setupbackgrounds[page]
[background=chapterbackground]
}
\setuphead[chapter][before=\chapterbefore]
\starttext
\chapter{Knuth}
\dorecurse{5}{
\input knuth
\par
}
\chapter{Dawkins}
\input dawkins
\stoptext
No doubt there is a neater/better way to do it than that. In fact I tried to
set up the background only once, like this:
\definelayer[chapterbackground]
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\setlayer[chapterbackground]{%
\externalfigure[mill.png]
[width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
}
\setuphead[chapter]
[before={
\setupbackgrounds[page]
[background=chapterbackground]
}]
\starttext
\chapter{Knuth}
\dorecurse{5}{
\input knuth
\par
}
\chapter{Dawkins}
\input dawkins
\stoptext
But it looks like the layer “forgets” the image each time it is used, and the
second chapter does not have the image. I’d be pleased to know the “right
way” to do this too ...

I am not seeking a background but rather a
foreground. And I only need this for 7 chapter
heads. Here is how I put the page image into my
context file now:
-
\startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no]
\vskip -0.15in
\hskip -0.7in
\hbox{\externalfigure[chaphead2.pdf][width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight]} \stopstandardmakeup
\writetolist[chapter]{2}{Chapter 2: Understanding
the Food Industry}%
This works but I want a less fiddly-more
reliable method.
