Placing pagenumer with coordinates (layers)

Placing pagenumer with coordinates (layers)

[Huseyin Özoguz via ntg-context]

Hello dear context-enthusiasts,

I want to place the pagenumber on a double-sided project with 
coordinates. I tried the layer-mechanism:

\setuppagenumbering[location=]

\definelayer
   [pagenumber]
   [width=\paperwidth,
    height=\paperheight,
    location={left,top},
    x=120mm,y=220mm,
    doublesided=yes]

\startsetups layer
\setlayer[pagenumber][even]{\pagenumber}
\stopsetups

\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background={pagenumber}]

\starttext
~\page~\page~\page
\stoptext


And it works, but only for the left (even) page. On the right page I 
want to place the pagenumber on different coordinates. I tried to copy 
the layer and then change [even] to [odd] with different coordinates, 
but that did not work (no pagenumber printed). What do you suggest?

Thank you.
Huseyin

Use a doublesided layout.

\setuppagenumbering
   [alternative={singlesided,doublesided},
    location=none]

\definelayer
   [pagenumber]
   [width=\paperwidth,
    height=\paperheight,
    x=12cm,
    y=22cm,
    doublesided=yes]

\startsetups layer
     \setlayer[pagenumber][even][preset=lefttop]{\pagenumber}
     \setlayer[pagenumber][odd][preset=righttop]{\pagenumber}
\stopsetups

\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=layer,background=pagenumber]

\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\page[dummy]}
\stoptext

Wolfgang
