[...] Layer has text inside in the sample above. I’d like to have it as a float.

You can use positioned layers (mentioned in the metafun manual but currently broken in MkIV) but you have to place the layer with a float to reserve the necessary space. [...] Is there no way to place that layer exactly 8mm from left page border and 110mm from top page border?

I really need the layer in that position (otherwise it doesn’t make sense).

Remove “position=yes” when you want the layer on a certain position on the page but don’t expect the text to flow around the layer.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. I’m afraid that I need the layer on that position and text flowing around the layer. Is there no way to do place a MP graphic on a certain position and make the text flow around it? Sorry for insisting, but it surprises me that such a basic need seems impossible with ConTeXt.
