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

Subject: [NTG-context] overlay or layer for chapter head.
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 ...

Yes it helped Peter, thank you. Interesting moves with the mpost bounding box.
I thought I might need more flexibility—overlays—but it has turned out that
single mp graphic with labels for the commentary will work for the task.

You have to increase the size of the image to mage it bigger than the ✘, you
can do this
by wrapping it into a frame, e.g.

You have to write \smash[d]{\startoverlay …\stopoverlay} to get the same output

The \framed command isn’t necessary here.
You should also try to make minimal examples when possible only with default

background-image behind a text-area at a given position relative to the
center of this area. I'm not yet satisfied with the result.
What is the expected output from your code with the left and top keys?
Hello Wolfgang,
When top=0 and left=0, the image should be centred in the text area.
With top=0.5 it should be centred in the bottom half.
With top=0.5 and left=0.5 it should be centred in bottom right quarter.
And so on.
(top and left should be probably replaced by hoffset and voffset)
Another idea comes to my mind:
text text text
text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text
text \placeanchor[myanchorname][hoffset=2cm, voffset=-1cm] text text text
text text text text text
text text text text text text text text
\placeatanchor[myanchorname]{\externalfigure[...]}
That means: I would like to define a position somewhere in the text,
perhaps some distance away from the actual point (hoffset and voffset).
And afterwards, I place an image at exactly that position as background.
This way, I can probably use the \FlushStep command.
I've looked quickly into the details.pdf but it all seems to be related to
floats...
TIA for any help!
Cheers, Peter

Re: [NTG-context] Overlay caption placement
I have a few pdf figures that I'm including in a large report that are essentially full page (portrait) diagrams. However, they each have blank space in the lower right corner and I was thinking that it would be nice to put the caption in this spot. Is there a way to overlay a caption on top of a floating figure? Ideally, I'd like to be able to provide an x,y offset location for these captions in cm. Is there something I'm missing in setupcaption?

Re: [NTG-context] overlay page background missing
The overlay with a layer inside it displays fine when used in the

But it does not display anything when used in the setupbackgrounds
background.
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={WatermarkOverlay}]
Any ideas why?
hm, backgrounds should work ok; and page backgrounds are recalculated for
each page
Can you see any reason why it would not be working? In the example
above, the overlay is displayed as the background of the frame, but
not as the background for the entire document? Can you give any
directions on where to look for further documentation/ideas? I
basically just need to be able to position a watermark on the back of

That did get the overlay to display on every page, but I am planning
on using the setupheadertexts to display other headers on the page. I
also lose the ability to position the layer by placing the setup
directly in the header. I was hoping that by placing a layer into an
overlay I would get the best of both commands.
This does give me some ideas for other alternatives as well...back to
the lab for more experiments.
