Hi Hans, I want to use a few graphics as page backgrounds but with the \scale command the image always stays within the borders of the page. Can you add a command (probably easier than adding such a function to \scale) which does as same as in the second row of the example below where the image extends outside of the borders of the frame. A option to clip parts – which can be disabled – of the image which are outside of the frame would be a nice extension to this command (e.g. in case you want a image in a table cell). \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \defineframed [PageBorder] [offset=overlay, rulethickness=2pt, framecolor=red, width=6cm, height=6cm] \starttext \startcombination[nx=2,ny=1,distance=4cm] {\PageBorder{\externalfigure[hacker][factor=fit]}}{} {\PageBorder{\externalfigure[mill] [factor=fit]}}{} \stopcombination \blank[4cm] \startcombination[nx=2,ny=1,distance=4cm] {\PageBorder{\clap{\externalfigure[hacker][height=6cm]}}}{} {\PageBorder {\externalfigure[mill] [width=6cm]}} {} \stopcombination \stoptext Wolfgang
