Define a layer that takes the whole page
<texcode>
\definelayer[mybg] % 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
</texcode>
Now you can put something in that layer:
<texcode>
\setlayer[mybg] % name of the layer [hoffset=1cm, voffset=1cm] % placement (from upper left corner of the layer) {\framed[frame=on, width=3cm, height=2cm]{LAYER}} % the actual contents of the layer
</texcode>
Now you can test the whole thing:
<context source=yestexcode>\setuppapersizedefinelayer [A10,portraitmybg]% name of the layer [A9x=0mm, y=0mm,landscape] % A10 from upper left corner of paper width=\paperwidth, height= 2.6x3.7cm -- compact example\setuparranging[2SIDEpaperheight] % show both pages\showframe % So we can see let the layer cover the pagesfull paper
\definelayersetupbackgrounds[mybgpage] % name of the layer [xbackground=0mm, y=0mm, % from upper left corner of paper width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, % let the layer cover the full paper state=continuemybg] % on all pages but the first one
\setupbackgroundssetlayer [pagemybg] % name of the layer [hoffset=1cm, voffset=1cm] % placement (from upper left corner of the layer) {\framed[backgroundframe=on, width=3cm, height=mybg2cm]{LAYER}} % the actual contents of the layer
\starttext
\dorecurse{2}{\page[empty]} % for testing, to get 2 pages, 2nd 1st with layer, 1st 2nd without
\stoptext
</contexttexcode>
You may experience cases where the defined size of your layer is ignored and you can’t get linebreaking or multiple lines at all.
This is due to <cmd>setlayer</cmd> using <cmd>hbox</cmd> internally. You can work around the problem using <cmd>setlayerframed</cmd>:
\starttext
\strut
\startsetups ALayer
\stopsetups
\page
\stoptext
