Metapost graphic in setupbackground

Metapost graphic in setupbackground

[Jan U. Hasecke]

Hi all,

I make my first steps with Metapost.

I would like to set the background of all pages to a Metapost graphic.

But only the first page has the defined background.

I also tried with

\startuseMPgraphic

with no success

--- mwe ---

\startreusableMPgraphic{kreis}
draw fullcircle scaled 70mm withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 6mm;
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\definelayer[kreisbackground][width=70mm,height=70mm]

\setlayer[kreisbackground]
  [x=-3mm,y=-3mm]
  {\reuseMPgraphic{kreis}}

\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=kreisbackground, state=start]

\starttext

	\input lorem

	\page

	\input lorem

\stoptext


TIA
juh

\definelayer[kreisbackground][width=70mm,height=70mm, state=repeat]

start    : layer appears only on the current page
stop     : layer doesn't show up
repeat   : layer prints on all pages
next     : layer appears on the following page
continue : layer appears on all pages except the first

\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=kreisbackground]
