MP setup for a progress bar
Thanks to Taco, Robbert and Jules for their work! I used the downtime to setup a presentation style with a progress bar in the footer. But I get the same (first page) graphics on all pages, and the footer background appears under the text area as well as under the margins. * I thought \useMPgraphics would be enough to re-calculate on every page? * How can I set a background to the footer area, but page width? * I tried \overlaywidth as well as OverlayWidth in the MP graphic – how do I get the page size? """ \setuppapersize[SW] \startuseMPgraphic{Blocks} fill unitsquare xysized (800 * RealPageNumber/NOfPages, 50) withcolor blue; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[Blocks][\useMPgraphic{Blocks}] \setupbackgrounds[footer][background={Blocks}] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\recurselevel\page} \stoptext """ Hraban

You need \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]. \setuppapersize[SW] \startuseMPgraphic{Blocks} fill unitsquare xysized (OverlayWidth * PageNumber / LastPageNumber, OverlayHeight) withcolor blue; %setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[Blocks][\useMPgraphic{Blocks}] \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat] \setupbackgrounds[footer][text][background=Blocks] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\recurselevel\page} \stoptext Wolfgang

You need \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat].
Thank you! But \setupbackgrounds[footer][text][background=Blocks,state=repeat] doesn’t work. Does this make sense if I don’t want layers in _all_ areas to repeat?
\setuppapersize[SW]
\startuseMPgraphic{Blocks} fill unitsquare xysized (OverlayWidth * PageNumber / LastPageNumber, OverlayHeight) withcolor blue;
Thank you – so RealPageNumber/NOfPages was wrong? I got that from simpleslides. Hraban

Also see: https://github.com/adityam/visualcounter There is a simple progress bar and the documentation shows how to create your own as well. Aditya
