Subject: top layer / numbered layers?
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2010 10:35:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <460855A7-B108-4185-8A98-8FF916B3D452@fiee.net> (raw)
While I wait for a solution of the mtxrun error, another question:
I know how to use layers or overlays as backgrounds. How can I get a
layer *above* the "normal" text plane?
say...
\definelayer[PageTop][x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=
\paperheight,repeat=yes]
\setupforegrounds[page][background=PageTop]
\setlayer[PageTop][hoffset=10mm, voffset=10mm]{%
\externalfigure[koe][with=40mm]}
I just found that \framed knows "foreground=", but as far as I could
find there's nothing like \setupforegrounds or \setuplayers.
An idea:
It would be nice if we just could use some number defining above or
below main text like in:
\definelayer[PageTop][x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=
\paperheight,repeat=yes,layer=1]
positive numbers would be above main text, layer=-1 would be below; 0
is reserved for main text.
This way we could stack layers more easily, similar to z-index in CSS.
What do you think?
Greetlings from Lake Constance!
