Hello
I try to use layers to position a figure on top of the leftmargin area. I use code like the following:
\definelayer[MyLayer][option=test] \setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background=MyLayer] \setlayer[MyLayer][x=0cm,y=0cm] {\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
This image get's repeated every page but I only want it on the first page. The parameter state=start does not change anything. Is there a way to disable the layer on the next page?
Hi Reza,
I don’t know whether this is a bug or a feature.
But this document might achieve what (I guess) you want (as you wrote yourself):
\definelayer[MyLayer] \setlayer[MyLayer][x=0cm,y=4.5cm] {\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=MyLayer] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \stoptext
Also there seems to be a bug with \showframe. When I use this command my figure is only displayed on the first page (as desired).
I wasn’t able to reproduce this.
Placing \showframe before of after \setupbackgrounds in the previous document, states (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers#State) work fine.
I hope it helps,

Thanks Pablo I already used this solution. For me it looks like a bug that the "state" argument does not change anything because the manual clearly states the expected behaviour of "state". But anyhow I'll use the other solution. Cheers, Reza
