Hi Hans,

can you provide a backgroundimage key for localframed (ot use it in

and fastlocalframed (to use it in \setupbackgrounds) to create something

2007/10/11, Hans Hagen : framed) like:

...

\setupexternalfigures[location=global] \setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext

\defineoverlay [Wallpaper] [\backgroundimage{1}{\paperwidth}{\paperheight}{\externalfigure[cow]}]

\setupbackgrounds [page] [background={color,Wallpaper}, backgroundcolor=orange]

\startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup

\stoptext

I want to write the above example in the following way,

\setupbackgrounds [page] [background={color,image}, backgroundcolor=orange, backgroundimage=cow]

The same mechanism should be also possible for \framed.

It should be possible to enable a image and a backgroundcolor at the

same

...

time to have a fallback mechanism for the case there is no image available or I want a colored background behind the image.

- you can use background anc backgroundcolor at the same time - you can have multiple backgrounds

I know and I used a backgroundcolor and a background simultaneously in my posted example but what I want is a interface in localframed without the overlay solution, the background should also repeated horizontal and vertical and not streched in both directions.

\defineoverlay[one][\overlayfigure{name}] \defineoverlay[two][abcdef]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background={one,two}]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background={one,foreground,two}]

etc

...

I have also a few wishes for \backgroundimage command in core-box, is it possible let the graphics start in the left top corner and crop it only at the ride side and at the bottom like the default bahaviour in html.

i think that there is some code in the x-fo file for that

...

Shouldn't the \scratchbox in the \nextboxwd test be a \nextbox.

where?

I meant in the \backgroundimage definition defined in core-box, bottom of the file). \def\backgroundimage#1#2#3% repeat hsize vsize {\bgroup \dowithnextbox {\ifcase#1\relax % just one \else \scratchdimen#2\divide\scratchdimen\nextboxwd\count0\scratchdimen\advance\count0\plusone \scratchdimen#3\divide\scratchdimen\nextboxht\count2\scratchdimen\advance\count2\plusone % to be considered, probably methods \ifcase#1\or % x and y \setbox\nextbox\hbox{\dorecurse{\count0}{\copy\nextbox}}% \setbox\nextbox\vbox{\dorecurse{\count2}{\copy\nextbox\endgraf}}% \or % x \setbox\nextbox\hbox{\dorecurse{\count0}{\copy\nextbox}}% \or % y \setbox\nextbox\vbox{\dorecurse{\count2}{\copy\nextbox\endgraf}}% \fi \fi \ifdim\nextboxwd>#2\relax \setbox\nextbox\hbox to #2{\hss\flushnextbox\hss}% \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\expanded{\clip[\c!width=#2,\c!height=\the\nextboxht]{\box\scratchbox}}}% ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ \fi \ifdim\nextboxht>#3\relax \setbox\nextbox\vbox to #3{\vss\flushnextbox\vss}% \setbox\nextbox\hbox{\expanded{\clip[\c!width=\the\nextboxwd,\c!height=#3]{\flushnextbox}}}% \fi \flushnextbox \egroup}% \hbox} I want to use this to provide the user in the second version of the go module a command to use graphics as board backgrounds where he can use at the moment only colors. I know I could wrap this myself into a macro but I hoped I can this without own code and pass only the figure name and the backgroundcolor to the setup command for page backgrounds or the frame background.

\defineoverlay[image][\backgroundimage1\overlaywidth\overlayheight{\externalfigure[\framedparameter{backgroundimage}]}]

\framed[width=15cm,height=25cm,backgroundimage=cow.pdf,background=image]{test}

Wow, I never thought of this before. This is a really nice way to generate and use key-value pairs on the fly. Aditya

Hi Hans, nearly perfect but can I also test if the requested figure did really exist with something like \doiffigure{\framedparameter{backgroundimage}}{\backgroundimage{...}}. I hope there will be a hidden feature section in the ConTeXtbook with all of ConTeXt's little features I don't know at the moment. Wolfgang
