Hello Hans and others,
is there any layer documentation out there that I have missed?
I found some fragments in the metafun manual, the details.pdf and
(well, of course!) the source.
Where should the layers be hooked in?
If I say \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=relpos], the layer
relpos gets repeated; if I use \setupbackgrounds[page][..], the layer
won't be repeated, even if I say
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=..,state=repeat]. (Yes, I know
that I can use \setuplayer[...][state=repeat]; I try to understand
what is going on.)
So should I always use the [page] background to anchor the layer?
Patrick

[text][text] and [page] are repeated indeed
others are if \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]
another option is:
\checktextbackgrounds
and put things in the predefined text-2,text-2,text+1,text+2 layers
(studying core-box may shed some light on this)

[page] is not repeated here:
%output=pdf
\showframe
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=abspos]
\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=relpos]
\definelayer[abspos][option=test,
width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight,
]
\definelayer[relpos][option=test,position=yes]
\starttext
\input tufte
\setlayer[abspos][x=1cm,y=1cm]{\bfd It Works!}
\setlayer[relpos][offset=1cm]{really?}
\input tufte
\page
\input tufte
\setlayer[relpos][hoffset=1cm,voffset=-1cm]{What does it look like?}
\input tufte
\page
\input tufte
\stoptext
layer relpos gets repeated, layer abspos not.
Patrick (slightly confused)

OK, I did and found out that here none of those two are
repeated. Even with state=repeat in \setupbackgrounds:
%output=pdf
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=abspos,state=repeat]
\setupbackgrounds[text][background=relpos,state=repeat]
\definelayer[abspos][option=test,
width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight,
]
\definelayer[relpos][option=test,position=yes]
\starttext
\input tufte
\setlayer[abspos][x=1cm,y=1cm]{\bfd It Works!}
\setlayer[relpos][offset=1cm]{really?}
\input tufte
\page
\input tufte
\setlayer[relpos][hoffset=1cm,voffset=-1cm]{What does it look like?}
\input tufte
\page
\input tufte
\stoptext
