problem with layer: corner doesn't work

problem with layer: corner doesn't work

[Uwe Koloska]

Hello,

still working on the CD Design, I tried to understand the layer mechanism. 
After some reading and trying I have found a problem with the 
parameter 'corner'.  The following setting doesn't work with the corner 
parameter but only with numeric placement of the reference point:

---------------------------------------------------------------
% engine=luatex

\setuppapersize[CD][A4]
\setuppagenumbering
  [location=,state=stop]
\showframe[edge]
\setuplayout[location=middle]

\definelayer
  [layer1]
  [width=\paperheight,heigth=\paperheight]

\setupbackgrounds
  [page]
  [background=layer1]

\starttext

\startstandardmakeup

\setlayerframed
  [layer1]
  [corner={left,bottom},
  %x=0cm,y=\paperheight,
  location={right,top}]
  [width=.5\paperwidth,
  height=.5\paperheight,
  background=screen]
  {BLOCK 1}
\setlayerframed
  [layer1]
  [corner={right,top},
  location={left,bottom}]
  [width=.5\paperwidth,
  height=.5\paperheight,
  background=screen]
  {BLOCK 2}

\stopstandardmakeup

\stoptext
---------------------------------------------------------------

I use a current context-minimal and have made an update today. The luatex 
version is:
> luatex --version
This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.25.3-2008052302
...
This is build 0, created on 20080410T143312Z

Context is:
  ConTeXt  ver: 2008.06.11 22:25 MKIV  fmt: 2008.6.15  int: english/english


What is wrong here?

hm, same output for pdftex and luatex (two blocke next to each other)

preset=lefttop,

is easier

For me 'screen' do work. And with the live-context on the garden they work, 
too. (See the attached PDF)

sure, they work, but in pdftex/mkii one has to enable color explicitly

Another way to get the same result, to get the layout on a A4 page you
have to set extra values for TEXpage.

\setuppapersize[CD][CD]

\starttext

\startTEXpage
%\startTEXpage[width=210mm,height=297mm,align={middle,lohi}]
\bTABLE[width=.5\paperwidth,height=.5\paperheight,align={middle,lohi}]
  \bTR
    \bTD[background=screen,m=2] BLOCK 2 \eTD
  \eTR
  \bTR
    \bTD[background=screen] BLOCK 1 \eTD
  \eTR
\eTABLE
\stopTEXpage

\stoptext

But layers are more fun and you have more control over the layout.
