Dear list,
I have the following sample and two issues that I must solve:
\showframe\setuplayout[margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=45mm, bottomspace=25mm, height=fit] \definelayout[first][topspace=70mm, bottomspace=30mm] \definelayer[avoidasfloat][x=0mm, y=0mm, hoffset=8mm, voffset=101mm, location={right,bottom}, state=start] \setlayer[avoidasfloat]{\startMPcode draw (0mm,0mm)--(55mm,0mm) ; draw (0mm,0mm)--(0mm,-86mm) ; draw (0mm,-86mm)--(55mm,-86mm) ; draw (55mm,-86mm)--(55mm,0mm) ; \stopMPcode } \setupbackgrounds[page][background={avoidasfloat}] \starttext \dorecurse{40}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext
First, the layout is right on the first two pages, but it is wrong from page three. The text doesn’t reach the bottom frame.
I have the info on multiple layers from the wiki (it isn’t a complete example, though). After Wolfgang’s reply last Friday, I spend hours searching on the mailing list trying to find relevant information to know what I was doing wrong.
If this isn’t a bug, what am I missing here?
from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Odd,_even_,_first_page_not_working
\showframe %\setuplayout[margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=45mm, % bottomspace=25mm, % height=fit] \definelayout[1][topspace=120mm, bottomspace=30mm,height=fit] \definelayout[even][margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=45mm, bottomspace=25mm, height=fit] \definelayout[odd][margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=45mm, bottomspace=25mm, height=fit] \definelayer[avoidasfloat][x=0mm, y=0mm, hoffset=8mm, voffset=101mm,location={right,bottom}, state=start] \setlayer[avoidasfloat]{\startMPcode draw (0mm,0mm)--(55mm,0mm) ; draw (0mm,0mm)--(0mm,-86mm) ; draw (0mm,-86mm)--(55mm,-86mm) ; draw (55mm,-86mm)--(55mm,0mm) ; \stopMPcode } \setupbackgrounds[page][background={avoidasfloat}] \starttext \dorecurse{40}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext
My second question is about the layer: is there no way to force the text to avoid it as if it were a float?
Many thanks for your help,
hm what do you want to avoid ? -- luigi
