The code below frames the text area of a part page. The part page removes the
footer and headers, then I use definelayout to change the text height & width.
It works find until I load the pgf and/or tikz modules. When either of those
modules are loaded, the frame is forced to the next page. The only way I can
make the frame stay on the page is to reduce the height of the frame; however,
then it doesn't fit the text area that I've defined.
Why when I load the modules pgf and/or tikz does the frame for the part page
get forced to the next page?
How do I fix it?
Is there a better way to do this? (don't say remove the pgf and tikz modules
:-) ).
Thanks,
Bart

How about this setup?

Thanks Wolfgang.
I like the way you implemented the solution; however, if I load the pgf/tikz
libraries with your solution, it still forces the frame to the next page.
Ultimately I want to load an image and have it framed for the background on
the part page. I like the ability that tikz gives me to adjust the opacity of
the image, which is why I tried to find a solution using tikz.
So I can find a solution without tikz, but is there one that will work with
tikz?

Wolfgang,
Thanks! That one works. And much more elegant than what I was developing.
Just so I understand:
"background={partimage,color}" : This creates the background from both the
image and the backgroundcolor, correct?
What does the "s=1" and the "a=1" do in defining the color partwhite? I can't
find anything on the web.

Yes, I used here two layers for the background, one for the image and
another one for the color which is before the image.

I used s=1 to define a white color and the other two to make it
transparent.
