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
Thanks Wolfgang and Alan! I will experiment with them tomorrow.

What is the current most contextish way for absolute positioning of

layers are still the tool of your choice
Actually the examples on the wiki were very helpful.

Well, concerning time: yes. concerning progress: no.

Hi Peter,
Using different layers, you can change the order of appearance
(background={1,2,3}|{1,3,2},..) for the layer content.
Using only one layer, all layer content is placed stack like; the
printing order is then fixed by the appearance order in the document
(last overprints prior).

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.

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

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?
