Centering text on the width of the page when using \startfiguretext

Centering text on the width of the page when using \startfiguretext

[Cecil Westerhof]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 722 bytes --]

I am converting my CV to ConTeXt. Simplified I have the folowing in it:
\startfiguretext[right]{none}{\externalfigure[graphics/pasfotoKlein]}
  \startalignment[center]

  \stopalignment
\stopfiguretext

This centers the text on the space leftover after placing my photo. But I
would like the text to be centered on the width of the page, without taking
into consideration the space the photo takes up. How would I do that?

My first idea would be to place the photo in a layer in the background.

I tried the following:
\definelayer[picture][
  preset=righttop,
]

\setlayer[picture]{\externalfigure[graphics/pasfotoKlein]}

\setupbackgrounds[page][rightedge][background=picture]

Whatever I do, the picture keeps in the top left corner of the page. I would
like to have the right side of the picture aligned with the right margin. Is
this possible?

\definelayer[picture][preset=righttop,width=\textwidth]

\setlayer[picture]{\externalfigure[mill][width=4cm]}

\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture]

\starttext

\startlines[align=middle]

Almost there. ;-}

The placement is okay, but now the picture is on every page instead of only
the first one.

Add “\setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]”.

Works. I find repeat a bit strange. I woild expect something like once. But
this works.

I now have:
\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture]
\setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]

It has to be two separate statements?

Re: Centering text on the width of the page when using \startfiguretext

[Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o.]

Hello,

> \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture]
> \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]
>
> It has to be two separate statements?

yes:

----
\definelayer[picture][preset=righttop,width=\textwidth]

\setlayer[picture]{\externalfigure[mill][width=4cm]}

\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture]
\setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]

\starttext
   \input knuth
   \page
   \input knuth
\stoptext
----

BTW: I find "state=repeat" to get the background once confusing, too.

Wouldn't be good (at least) to define "once" (as suggested) or "norepeat" options to use the background once?

(Both to work in the same manner as "repeat" does.)

And to keep "repeat" for backward compatibility, but to treat it as deprecated?

(Or maybe I don't understand fully why "state=repeat" causes one-shot background; could anyone explain?)

Best regards,

Lukas

One more point. It will now be placed on the top right of the first page.
(Or the page where you do the \setupbackgrounds.) At the moment that is
enough. But is it possible to have it place on the top right of the current
paragraph?
For example:
\starttext
 \input knuth
 \input knuth
 \input knuth
\stoptext

And have the picture aligned with the second knuth (left or right)?
