Hi all,
I'm quite new to ConTeXt, but I've been working with LaTeX for several years now. Now I faced a problem which I'm not able to solve in LaTeX which probably can be solved in ConTeXt:
I need a possibility to set grafics in a book on exact, absolute positions. Now I found the way for background images, like in the attached example. But obviously, normal text is written above the background image. I need now a possibility like this but for foreground grafics.
So, how can I set the position of grafics absolutely in ConTeXt?
Thanks, Johannes.
My example:
-------------------------------------------------------------- \enableregime [il1] \mainlanguage [de] \setuplayout [grid=yes,marking=on,horoffset=2cm,veroffset=2cm] \definepapersize [jo][width=14cm,height=18cm] \setuppapersize [jo][a4]
\useexternalfigure[wr][dpm][type=png, width=5cm, height=4cm] \definelayer[wr-layer] \defineoverlay[wr-overlay][\composedlayer{wr-layer}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background={wr-overlay}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={foreground,wr-overlay}] Cheers, Vit
\starttext
\setlayer[wr-layer][x=-0.1cm,y=-0.1cm]{\externalfigure[wr]} Blablabla
