Dear all,
with your help I can colorize the empty even page right before a chapter starts on the odd page. The mwe below shows it.
Now I would like to redefine the contents of the left page on the fly in the text so that I could place images on this page.
I thought that I could get a simple solution by inserting a TEXpage as even page, but this does not work for several reasons. First a TEXpage is not counted correctly like a normal page. And secondly I found now way to put it on the even page.
So what I really want to achieve is a way to redefine this setups at some point in the text to insert eg. a picture on the even page before a chapter.
\startsetups [chapter:before] \doifoddpageelse {} {\pushbackground[page] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue,] \page[empty,right] \popbackground} \stopsetups
Here comes the not so mwe:
%% start mwe \setuplayout [ location=doublesided ] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \definepagebreak [chapter] [footer,yes,header,footer,right]
\startsetups [chapter:before] \doifoddpageelse {} {\pushbackground[page] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue,] \page[empty,right] \popbackground} \stopsetups
\setuphead [chapter] [ page=yes, before=\directsetup{chapter:before}, ]
\setupexternalfigure[location=default]
\starttext
\startchapter [title={foo}]
\dorecurse{2}{\input tufte \par}
\stopchapter
\startchapter [title={foo2}]
\dorecurse{6}{\input tufte \par}
\stopchapter
\startchapter [title={bar}]
\input knuth
\startTEXpage \externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=\paperheight,width=\paperwidth] \stopTEXpage
\stopchapter
\startchapter [title={baz}]
\input knuth
\stopchapter
\stoptext %% stop mwe
As you see the image is not in the right place and of course the pagenumbering is wrong. Use \startTEXpage[pagestate=start] to increase the page number with TEX

I want that one of these blue pages shows an image. Is this possible? Yes but there are different ways for different requirements.
- Do you you have a picture before *every* chapter? - Do you use full page images? - Are the images cropped to fit the page dimension, stretched or centered with margins? - ... Wolfgang
