Hi all,

I've created a small (15x15 mm) tile image (actually a vector PDF) that I'd like repeat on a cover page but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to step repeat* the image. Here is what I have:

\useexternalfigure[cover][background] \defineoverlay[cover][{\externalfigure[cover][repeat=yes]}] \starttext \setupbackgrounds[page][background=cover] \startstandardmakeup My title goes here \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext

As one might expect, I get a tiny tile in the centre of the page. Any ideas?

undocumented (needed for x-fo): \backgroundimage{1}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow][width=3cm]} Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
