Hey list,
On the cover page of my book I'd like just an image displayed and
another image used as the background for every other page in the book.
So I put this in my environment,
% Cover image...
\definelayer
[CoverImage]
[x=0mm, y=0mm,
\paperwidth,
\paperheight]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage]
\setlayer
[CoverImage] % name of the layer
{\externalfigure
[Makeup/Images/Cover.jpg]
[align=center,
\paperwidth,
\paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer
% Regular background image...
\definelayer
[BackgroundImage]
[x=0mm, y=0mm,
\paperwidth,
\paperheight,
repeat=yes]
\setlayer
[BackgroundImage] % name of the layer
{\externalfigure
[Makeup/Images/Background.png]
[align=center,
\paperwidth,
\paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer
, the following in the book's first page,
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage]
, and the following on second page,
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=BackgroundImage]
. But this does not work properly. What ends up happening is the cover
image is displayed correctly, but every page after that just has a blank
white background.

Hi everybody,
I try to draw several metapost page backgrounds (code found at
http://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/poulecl/divers/papiers/ ) for manual
sketchs on A4 paper.
Obviously, it does'nt work, and I don't know why.
TIA for any answers.
Not so short examples are attached.

Take a look into Hans MetaFun manual [1]. He defined a few MetaPost
macros to draw grids (page 205+).

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your answer.
I'm still unable to produce the desired pdf, both on texlive 2005 (ubuntu
festy) and 2007 (gutsy). I've located an error in a metapost "inclusion"
file, because context is complaining in the log file :
...
TeXExec | processing graphic 'papier-quadrille-mpgraph.mp'
This is MetaPost, Version 0.993 (Web2C 7.5.6)
(/usr/share/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx)
(papier-quadrille-mpgraph.mp (constantes.mp) (papiers.mp
>> papiers.mp
>> papiers.mpx
! Unable to make mpx file.
l.70 dotlabel.llft(btex
$O$ etex,(x.origine*cm,y.origine*cm));
I'll test solutions later, as I just enter in a super-charged era @ work.
Thanks again

Patrick, Otared, Adam,
thanks for looking into this. Adam's solutions works, wonderful!! Now
I'll be able to have lots of "annoying texts" as watermarks. But those
were a lot of changes to config files. Though I feel confident on the
command line, I must admit I never bothered to look into minstall.pdf;
I figured I had a working installation. Adam, you're definitely right:
it would be nice if we could have gwtex's standards set to something
more useful!
Thanks everybody, another satisfied customer!
Thomas

Thanks, Patrick. \protectbufferstrue is uncommented (I guess that's the
default, isn't it?). Does the btex...etex work on your box? Could
anyone running Mac OS X (10.2 for the time being) verify if it works on
their systems?

Hi Thomas,
I use Mac OS X (10.3 since today... but the following is independent
of whether you use 10.2 or 10.3) together with TeXShop and Gerben
Wierda's distribution of TeX.
The first example you sent, that is:
%% first example
\startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright}
picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ;
setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ;
draw p withcolor .8white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture
xysized (\overlaywidth,\overlayheight) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[copyright][\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}]
\setupbackgrounds[text][rightmargin][background=copyright]
\starttext
\input knuth.tex
\stoptext
%% end first example
does not produce what is expected. The second example you sent, that is:
%% second example
\startuseMPgraphic{draft}
draw "draft" infont "phvb" scaled 9 rotated 65 withcolor .95white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-3cm) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[draft][\uniqueMPgraphic{draft}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=draft]
\starttext
\input knuth.tex
\stoptext
%% end second example
does produce the watermark "draft". The third example
%% third example
\startuseMPgraphic{brouillon}
draw btex brouillon etex ;
% draw "brouillon" infont "phvb" scaled 6 rotated 70 withcolor .95white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-3cm) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[brouillon][\uniqueMPgraphic{brouillon}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=brouillon]
\starttext
\input knuth.tex
\stoptext
%% end third example
does not produce what is expected.
I should say that I am not enough self-confidence to change the file
cont-sys.tex as suggested by Patrick...
Best regards: OK

what did you expect?

> draw btex brouillon etex ;

this command scales (vertically) the brouillon to \overlayheight -3
cm. This is very large
> \stopuseMPgraphic
> \defineoverlay[brouillon][\uniqueMPgraphic{brouillon}]
> \setupbackgrounds[page][background=brouillon]
and this one centers your graphic (the large brouillon) on the page.

If you get some results from btex...etex, you don't have to.

Hi again,

It should print "COPYRIGHT" in the right margin. It works fine here.

Hello,

Right, I just checked. It was a common error in the past.

Yes, it does work here on OS X (Jaguar). I tried your example from
yesterday (slightly patched, though because there was no \starttext...)
Please post your complete logfile.

These are my first forays into the unknown territories of Metapost. The
following code is copied verbatim from the matafun-manual:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright}
picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ;
setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ;
draw p withcolor .8white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture
xysized (\overlaywidth,\overlayheight) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[copyright][\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}]
\setupbackgrounds[text][rightmargin][background=copyright]
But I don't see anything. The log shows that metapost calculated a
background, but I don't see anything. What am I doing wrong?

Let me provide an answer myself: the btex ... etex doesn't seem to
work. This code:
\startuseMPgraphic{draft}
draw "DRAFT" infont "phvb" scaled 9 rotated 57 withcolor .85white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-3cm) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[draft][\uniqueMPgraphic{draft}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=draft]
will do what I want: provide a "watermark" for my document (or, as Hans
writes, an "annoying text"). However, when I try the same with
draw btex draft etex
I don't get any output. Could you please verify if this is the case in
your version of ConTeXt as well? Here's what I have (it's a vanilla
teTeX implementation):
ConTeXt ver: 2003.9.19 fmt: 2003.9.30 int: english mes: english
MetaPost (Web2C 7.5.2) 0.641

Hello Thomas,

You'll enjoy your journey once you get MP working.

Your complete log might be interesting. Did you enable the write18
feature in texmf.cnf (not necessary, but nice since it lets tex
generate the MP graphics on the fly)? Did you put any text between
\starttext and \stoptext? Do you have \protectbufferstrue in
cont-sys.tex?
