Hi to all,
In case of presentations sometimes one has to combine many figures in the page, maybe overlapping for some parts. Something very easy in powerpoint. What's the best technique? Taking a look at the wiki and ot "It's in the details" manual it seems that layers, which can be placed according to absolute positions, are the ConTeXt solution to the problem. Is it so?
indeed, layers put in overlays (there can be many layers on top of each others if you want to do even dirtier tricks, you can use streams and have multiple subpages make up a page (see m-streams)
I was in fact considering to create a simple python GUI app to allow a visual control on position of figures on a page, outputting ConTeXt code to be copied and pasted.
