Subject: Strange StartPage in Metapost

Message-ID: <01090913135600.03415@levana> (raw)
Hi out there in the deep Cyberscpace ;-),
--------------------------------myfile.tex----------
\%output=pdf
showframe
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\startreusableMPgraphic{DemoFrame}
StartPage ;
pickup pencircle scaled 2pt ;
Field[Text][Text] := Field[Text][Text] enlarged .5cm ;
draw (llcorner Field[Text][Text] -- ulcorner Field[Text][Text]);
StopPage ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[DemoFrame]{\reuseMPgraphic{DemoFrame}}
%\setupbackgrounds[page][background=DemoFrame]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par}
\stoptext
------------------------------end----------
when I texexec this, I get strange results.
In my opinion, only the \input tufte should be typeset (and, of course the
\showframe). But as you might see, the DemoFrame also gets typeset. But I
did not connect the overlay to the background. Only when I comment out the
line with \defineoverlay, the mpgraphic is not drawn. So there are two
problems here:
1) why is this graphic drawn (even though I have not put it in the
background)?
2) why is this placed on an incorrect place? (It seems that the page starts
at the upper left corner of the text field, so the vertical line is shifted
to the right and down.)
