How to center with picture taken into consideration

How to center with picture taken into consideration

[Cecil Westerhof]

I keep bugging the list. ;-)

I center some text on a place where I also place a picture on the
right site. Is it possible to center on the part that is not taken up
by the picture?

The picture is placed with:
  \definelayer[picture][
    preset=righttop,
    width=\textwidth,
  ]

  \setlayer[picture]{\externalfigure[graphics/pasfoto]}

  \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture]
  \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]

To make things a little more complicated, the placing of the picture
is conditional. So it is not always done.

Hello Cecil,

I have a LuaTeX-based start for you, but there is one important thing
I do not know: how to obtain the an image's width and/or height from
Lua. Although that would also depend on whether you want to resize
images to a fixed with, etc. Anyway, now that the typesetting code is
Lua-based, working out the conditional stuff you need will hopefully
be trivial (for 'if you know Lua or have an hour to learn the basics'
values of trivial).

Cheers,
Sietse

Here an example:
