Hi list, Is it possible to place two layers on the same page? I have several pages where that would be necessary. On the first of those pages, it did actually work, but on the remaining other pages, the second layer, even though located at the bottom of the page, eliminates the first layer. I have simply set them up one after the other. As you can see, the 1st is towards the top left of the page, while the second is bottom right. \definelayer[blessings] % name of the layer [x=0mm, y=0mm, % from upper left corner of paper width=\paperwidth, height=.5\paperheight] % let the layer cover the full paper \setlayer[blessings] % name of the layer [hoffset=.09\textwidth, voffset=1.7cm] % placement (from upper left corner of the layer) {\externalfigure[bless.eps][width=3cm]} % the actual contents of the layer \setupbackgrounds[page][background=blessings] \definelayer[tree] % name of the layer [x=0mm, y=0mm, % from upper left corner of paper width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] % let the layer cover the full paper \setlayer[tree] % name of the layer [hoffset=.75\textwidth, voffset=15.1cm] % placement (from upper left corner of the layer) {\externalfigure[Pohutukawa.jpg][width=.5\textwidth]} % the actual contents of the layer \setupbackgrounds[page][background=tree] What am I doing wrong?

It is not clear to me. I have two \setupbackgrounds as you can see. If I put setupbackgrounds[page][background=blessings,tree] for the first one I get the tree but not the blessing graphic. If I also have the same for the second one (\setupbackgrounds[page][background=blessings,tree]) I get the blessings graphic but not the tree! I want both obviously. Sorry for being obtuse.

Move both \definelayer and \setupbackgrounds to the start of the document
and put braces ({...}) around the list entry.

Thanks, it was particularly the braces that I had overlooked. Julian On 28/4/21 2:58 pm, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:
