Hi, I'm trying to do a scientific poster in latex and i've some problem. now i want to try it in context. I need two things 1) set a backgroud for the paper (A0 size) with gradient color 2) Deal with textblocks (like the textpos package of latex). This package makes a grid (dont printing it), for example 16x25 part (width and height). And then you can say \begin{textblock}{2}(0,3) .. \end{textbloc} This make a bloc 2 unit width in the (0,3) position. I'm quite new to context, and i don't know if it can be done.
