Smaller example
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:
<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
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=mybg]
\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
* preset : a named location, see below
There are some "presets" for paper egde edge placement:
<texcode>
% These four are defined by ConTeXt!
This is due to <cmd>setlayer</cmd> using <cmd>hbox</cmd> internally. You can work around the problem using <cmd>setlayerframed</cmd>:
<texcodecontext source=yes>\setuppapersize[A6] \definelayer[AddressBg][ x=20mm,y=30mm, width=65mm,height=30mm, state=start] % size is ignored!\setupbackgrounds[paper][ setups=ALayer, background=AddressBg, state=start]
