Custom letter head

Custom letter head

[Oliver Buerschaper]

Dear Wolfgang,

I was wondering how I could place a simple MetaPost graphic into the  
head area of a letter, next to the address data. I know the manual  
says you're going to write this and similar things up soon … could you  
still give me a sneak peek as where to look at and what to modify? All  
I need is a quick adaption that works for now …

Many thanks,
Oliver

\startuseMpgraphic{letter:head}
...
\stopuseMPgraphic

\setupletterstyle
  [head] % [frame]
  [background=\useMPgraphic{letter:head}]

for a MetaPost graphic in the background of the head.


You could also create your own letter head with:

\startsetups{letter:head}
...
\stopsetups

this replace my default letter head with fromname and fromaddress,
to access these to values you could use \lettervalue{fromname} and
\lettervalue{fromaddress}.

Regards,
Wolfgang
