\hideframe to cancel \showframe

\hideframe to cancel \showframe

Hi,

say that I, for educational purposes, want to use \showframe for a couple
of pages, and then want to hide the frames. What is the correct way of
doing this? I have for now added a \begingroup and \endgroup, but then
another document parameter that is set inside is cancelled after the
\endgroup.

I tried to look in the source, but could not find anything that worked
(what I tried with was to use \setupbackgrounds[state=stop], but that was
merely a guess, and it did not work).

There is no command to disable \showframe but you don't even need the 
command to have frames. What \showframe does is to set a few values for 
the \setupbackgrounds command which can be done by hand.

To make everything a bit nice I put the backgrounds setup in a 
setup-block and call only these blocks in the document.

%%%% begin example
\startsetups[showframe]
   \setupbackgrounds [header,text,footer] [leftmargin,text,rightmargin] 
[frame=on]
\stopsetups

\startsetups[hideframe]
   \setupbackgrounds [header,text,footer] [leftmargin,text,rightmargin] 
[frame=off]
\stopsetups

\starttext

\input knuth

\page \setup[showframe]

\input knuth

\page \setup[hideframe]

\input knuth

\stoptext
%%%% end example

 Many thanks, Wolfgang! This is exactly what I was looking for.
