I know and I used a backgroundcolor and a background simultaneously
in my posted example but what I want is a interface in localframed without
the overlay solution, the background should also repeated horizontal and
vertical and not streched in both directions.

I meant in the \backgroundimage definition defined in core-box, bottom of the file).

\def\backgroundimage#1#2#3% repeat hsize vsize
  {\bgroup
   \dowithnextbox
     {\ifcase#1\relax
        % just one
      \else
        \scratchdimen#2\divide\scratchdimen\nextboxwd\count0\scratchdimen\advance\count0\plusone
        \scratchdimen#3\divide\scratchdimen\nextboxht\count2\scratchdimen\advance\count2\plusone
        % to be considered, probably methods
        \ifcase#1\or % x and y
          \setbox\nextbox\hbox{\dorecurse{\count0}{\copy\nextbox}}%
          \setbox\nextbox\vbox{\dorecurse{\count2}{\copy\nextbox\endgraf}}%
        \or % x
          \setbox\nextbox\hbox{\dorecurse{\count0}{\copy\nextbox}}%
        \or % y
          \setbox\nextbox\vbox{\dorecurse{\count2}{\copy\nextbox\endgraf}}%
        \fi
      \fi
      \ifdim\nextboxwd>#2\relax
        \setbox\nextbox\hbox to #2{\hss\flushnextbox\hss}%
        \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\expanded{\clip[\c!width=#2,\c!height=\the\nextboxht]{\box\scratchbox}}}%

               ^^^^^^^^^^^                                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      \fi
      \ifdim\nextboxht>#3\relax
        \setbox\nextbox\vbox to #3{\vss\flushnextbox\vss}%
        \setbox\nextbox\hbox{\expanded{\clip[\c!width=\the\nextboxwd,\c!height=#3]{\flushnextbox}}}%

      \flushnextbox
      \egroup}%
   \hbox}
 

I want to use this to provide the user in the second version of the go

module a command to use graphics as board backgrounds where he

can use at the moment only colors. I know I could wrap this myself

into a macro but I hoped I can this without own code and pass only the

figure name and the backgroundcolor to the setup command for page

backgrounds or the frame background.
