problem with layer: corner doesn't work
Hello, still working on the CD Design, I tried to understand the layer mechanism. After some reading and trying I have found a problem with the parameter 'corner'. The following setting doesn't work with the corner parameter but only with numeric placement of the reference point: --------------------------------------------------------------- % engine=luatex \setuppapersize[CD][A4] \setuppagenumbering [location=,state=stop] \showframe[edge] \setuplayout[location=middle] \definelayer [layer1] [width=\paperheight,heigth=\paperheight] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=layer1] \starttext \startstandardmakeup \setlayerframed [layer1] [corner={left,bottom}, %x=0cm,y=\paperheight, location={right,top}] [width=.5\paperwidth, height=.5\paperheight, background=screen] {BLOCK 1} \setlayerframed [layer1] [corner={right,top}, location={left,bottom}] [width=.5\paperwidth, height=.5\paperheight, background=screen] {BLOCK 2} \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext --------------------------------------------------------------- I use a current context-minimal and have made an update today. The luatex version is:
luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.25.3-2008052302 ... This is build 0, created on 20080410T143312Z
Context is: ConTeXt ver: 2008.06.11 22:25 MKIV fmt: 2008.6.15 int: english/english What is wrong here? Uwe Koloska

hm, same output for pdftex and luatex (two blocke next to each other) btw, preset=lefttop, is easier Hans ps. screens don't seem to work in mkiv but since you didn't report that ... ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

For me 'screen' do work. And with the live-context on the garden they work, too. (See the attached PDF)
sure, they work, but in pdftex/mkii one has to enable color explicitly ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Another way to get the same result, to get the layout on a A4 page you have to set extra values for TEXpage. \setuppapersize[CD][CD] \starttext \startTEXpage %\startTEXpage[width=210mm,height=297mm,align={middle,lohi}] \bTABLE[width=.5\paperwidth,height=.5\paperheight,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR \bTD[background=screen,m=2] BLOCK 2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[background=screen] BLOCK 1 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopTEXpage \stoptext But layers are more fun and you have more control over the layout.
