Re: Struggling with ConTeXt

[Olivier Binda <olivier.binda@wanadoo.fr>]

Thank you for the tips.

Here, I cleaned up the code some more (sorry to have left stuff over 
last time),.

I added some explanations to make my issue clearer


\startusableMPgraphic{myFrame}
    draw OverlayBox withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor green;
    draw (currentpicture enlarged 2cm) withcolor red withpen pencircle 
scaled 2pt;
\stopusableMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[myOverlay][\useMPgraphic{myFrame}]
\defineframedtext[myStatement][frame=off]
\setupframedtexts[myStatement][background=myOverlay,offset=overlay,autowidth=force]
\starttext
\framed[strut=no]{\startmyStatement FIRST TEST\stopmyStatement}
In the first test, I would like the black box to have the dimensions of 
the red box.

\blank[big,big,big,big,big,big,big,big,big,big]

\placefigure[left,none]{}{\startmyStatement SECOND TEST\stopmyStatement}
In the second test, I'm going to demonstrate the issue by flowing text 
around the framed text, the green color {\em and the red color} 
shouldn't touch the flowing text as I want the float box to include the 
text box {\em and the overlay box.}


Best regards,
Olivier
