Consider this example: \definelayer[extras] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setlayer [extras] [x=2cm, y=5cm] {something} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=extras] This is ok, the placement is relative to the upper left edge of the paper. But following the Details manual, I should be able to use \placelayer[extras] instead of the background stuff. But then the placement is relative to the upper left edge of the text area. Is this intended? Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net http://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
Another question, regarding layer placement: \def\bleed{3mm} \setvalue{LogoHeight}{20mm} \setvalue{LogoWidth}{60mm} \setvalue{LogoHOffset}{130mm} \definelayer[logolayer] [x=-\bleed, y=-\bleed, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setlayerframed[logolayer] [y=-\bleed, x=\dimexpr(\getvalue{LogoHOffset}+\bleed)] [height=\dimexpr(\getvalue{LogoHeight}+\bleed), width=\getvalue{LogoWidth}, frame=off, offset=0mm, align=low, background=color, backgroundcolor=red]{my logo} I would expect that the x/y coordinates in \setlayer(framed) relate to the layer's origin (-3, -3) and thus my logo gets placed at (130, -3). But in fact it's placed at (133, -3), i.e. x starts at 0 instead of -3. Why? Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net http://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

x and y are unique for each \setlayer, use hoffset/voffset instead Hans

And in fact not even from your statement.
Seems like x/y always use the upper left corner of the paper, while hoffset/voffset use the upper left corner of the layer. But if I use \placelayer instead of backgrounds, x/y is relative to the text area. Is that intended? (See my mail "layer question".)

no, it depends on the combination of align and corner (in core-box.tex you can see presets being defined, so with preset=rightbottom, x/y start from the rightbottom)
But if I use \placelayer instead of backgrounds, x/y is relative to the text area. Is that intended? (See my mail "layer question".)
indeed, put it in a \ruledhbox and you will see (there is \tightlayer and such in order to get different results) Hans
