Page Backgrounds

Page Backgrounds

[Kip Warner]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1524 bytes --]

Hey list,

On the cover page of my book I'd like just an image displayed and
another image used as the background for every other page in the book.
So I put this in my environment,

    % Cover image...
    \definelayer
        [CoverImage]
        [x=0mm, y=0mm,
         \paperwidth, 
         \paperheight]
    \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage]
    
    \setlayer
        [CoverImage]	% name of the layer
        {\externalfigure
            [Makeup/Images/Cover.jpg]
            [align=center,
             \paperwidth,
             \paperheight]}  % the actual contents of the layer

    % Regular background image...
    \definelayer
        [BackgroundImage]
        [x=0mm, y=0mm,
         \paperwidth, 
         \paperheight,
         repeat=yes]

    \setlayer
        [BackgroundImage]	% name of the layer
        {\externalfigure
            [Makeup/Images/Background.png]
            [align=center,
             \paperwidth,
             \paperheight]}  % the actual contents of the layer

, the following in the book's first page,

    \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage]

, and the following on second page,

    \setupbackgrounds[page][background=BackgroundImage]

. But this does not work properly. What ends up happening is the cover
image is displayed correctly, but every page after that just has a blank
white background.

less code:

\defineoverlay

   [\overlayfigure{Makeup/Images/Background.png}]

Thanks Wolfgang. That did it. Although I did change userpage to
realpage.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your answer. 
I'm still unable to produce the desired pdf, both on texlive 2005 (ubuntu
festy) and 2007 (gutsy). I've located an error in a metapost "inclusion"
file, because context is complaining in the log file :  
        ...
        TeXExec | processing graphic 'papier-quadrille-mpgraph.mp'
        This is MetaPost, Version 0.993 (Web2C 7.5.6)
        (/usr/share/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx)
        (papier-quadrille-mpgraph.mp (constantes.mp) (papiers.mp
        >> papiers.mp
        >> papiers.mpx
        ! Unable to make mpx file.
        l.70   dotlabel.llft(btex
                          $O$ etex,(x.origine*cm,y.origine*cm));
I'll test solutions later, as I just enter in a super-charged era @ work.
Thanks again

not so short working example attached. I had some problems with MP
(compilations stops in MP; CTRL-D or typing 'end' works)...I donno. Some

Take a look into Hans MetaFun manual [1]. He defined a few MetaPost
macros to draw grids (page 205+).

Hi everybody,
I try to draw several metapost page backgrounds (code found at 
http://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/poulecl/divers/papiers/ ) for manual
sketchs on A4 paper.
Obviously, it does'nt work, and I don't know why.
TIA for any answers.
Not so short examples are attached.

Re: page backgrounds

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Patrick, Otared, Adam,

thanks for looking into this. Adam's solutions works, wonderful!! Now 
I'll be able to have lots of "annoying texts" as watermarks. But those 
were a lot of changes to config files. Though I feel confident on the 
command line, I must admit I never bothered to look into minstall.pdf; 
I figured I had a working installation. Adam, you're definitely right: 
it would be nice if we could have gwtex's standards set to something 
more useful!

Thanks everybody, another satisfied customer!

Thomas

It should print "COPYRIGHT" in the right margin. It works fine here.

what did you expect?

this command scales (vertically) the brouillon to \overlayheight -3
cm. This is very large

and this one centers your graphic (the large brouillon) on the page.

If you get some results from btex...etex, you don't have to.

Right, I just checked. It was a common error in the past.

Yes, it does work here on OS X (Jaguar). I tried your example from
yesterday (slightly patched, though because there was no \starttext...)

You'll enjoy your journey once you get MP working.

Your complete log might be interesting. Did you enable the write18
feature in texmf.cnf (not necessary, but nice since it lets tex
generate the MP graphics on the fly)? Did you put any text between
\starttext and \stoptext? Do you have \protectbufferstrue in
cont-sys.tex?

Let me provide an answer myself: the btex ... etex doesn't seem to 
work. This code:

\startuseMPgraphic{draft}
draw "DRAFT" infont "phvb" scaled 9 rotated 57 withcolor .85white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-3cm) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[draft][\uniqueMPgraphic{draft}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=draft]

will do what I want: provide a "watermark" for my document (or, as Hans 
writes, an "annoying text"). However, when I try the same with

draw btex draft etex

I don't get any output. Could you please verify if this is the case in 
your version of ConTeXt as well? Here's what I have (it's a vanilla 
teTeX implementation):

ConTeXt  ver: 2003.9.19  fmt: 2003.9.30  int: english  mes: english

MetaPost (Web2C 7.5.2) 0.641

page backgrounds

[Thomas A.Schmitz]

These are my first forays into the unknown territories of Metapost. The 
following code is copied verbatim from the matafun-manual:

\startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright}
picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ;
setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ;
draw p withcolor .8white ;
currentpicture := currentpicture
xysized (\overlaywidth,\overlayheight) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[copyright][\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}]

\setupbackgrounds[text][rightmargin][background=copyright]

But I don't see anything. The log shows that metapost calculated a 
background, but I don't see anything. What am I doing wrong?
