Layer Question

Layer Question

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

I would like to add  a text to a poster, which I load as PDF.

The following works nice, except that the layer of the PDF is above the
layer "block" thus the text gets overdrawn.

How can I change that order?

Tobias

\setuppapersize[A0,landscape][A0,landscape]
\setupbodyfont[26pt]
\setuplayout[backspace=0cm,width=fit,height=fit,margin=0cm,topspace=0cm,header=0cm,footer=0pt]
\definelayer[block][width=85mm,height=54mm]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=block]

\starttext
  \startstandardmakeup
\combinepages[poster.pdf][nx=1,ny=1]
\setlayer[block][x=10cm,y=10cm]{\copyright 2006}
  \stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext

foreground is a predefined one, the current text

It seems I must make some new docs from the tex sources.
Thanks for the info.

layer question

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Consider this example:

\definelayer[extras]
	[width=\paperwidth,
	height=\paperheight]

\setlayer [extras] [x=2cm, y=5cm] {something}

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=extras]

This is ok, the placement is relative to the upper left edge of the  
paper.

But following the Details manual, I should be able to use
\placelayer[extras]
instead of the background stuff.
But then the placement is relative to the upper left edge of the text  
area.

Is this intended?

Grüßlis vom Hraban!
