Setupbackgrounds question

Setupbackgrounds question

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

I want to have a background which stretches from the top to the bottom on
the left margin.
I tried:
  \setupbackgrounds[top,header,text,footer,bottom][leftmargin][...]
but this only covers the header to the footer, i.e. a white, uncovered
region remain at the top and at the bottom. Any ideas what might go wrong?

probably because top/bottom are not set large enough to span the rest,

\startreusableMPgraphic{somename}
   StartPage ;
     fill
       llcorner Page --
       ulcorner Page --
       ulcorner Page shifted (backspace,0) --
       llcorner Page shifted (backspace,0) -- cycle ;
   StopPage ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[somename][\reuseMPgraphic{somename}]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=somename]

may be a better approach
