Hi there,
this is the only thing I could come up with, using manual page breaks and not
using an area at all:
Before \starttext, do
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=pagegraphics]
\definelayer[pagegraphics][x=0cm,y=0cm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\useexternalfigure[pdf01][01-x3.pdf][scale=1000]
Within the columnset, at the appropriate place do
\page
%if necessary, manual spacing adjustment on the last line of the prev. Page
\setupheader[state=empty]
\setupfooter[state=empty]
\setlayer[pagegraphics][x=0mm, y=0mm]{\externalfigure[pdf01]}
~\page
This is more or less ugly, since I have to break pages manually and maybe need
to adjust spacing on the page before the image. But I'm used to it, that's the
way I did it in LaTeX when I used the multicols package. I just thought there
must be a more elegant solution within Context.
I did try to place the background in the columnsetarea (which worked), but in
there never got rid of the headers.
Does anyone know if it's possible? Hans maybe?
Because that would be the one thing I need. If it's not possible I'll just keep
doing the LaTeX thing in Context, and have the advantage of column spans for
introduction text as a bonus...
