There are several possibilities for defining the placement of layer content:

Similarly you can define your own presets.

The layer is divided into a 2x2 matrix of squares, where 'x' is the center.

Again you have nine different corners to choose from.

Specifications <code>corner={top,right},location={bottom,right}</code> will place content in the area L (outside the original layer).

The available options for the "state" of a layer are:

* continue: layer appears on all pages except the first

Usually, layers are in the background of your page (or text area). But sometimes you need your layer content on top of the regular content. Then you must set the foreground as one of the backgrounds like this:

The order of backgrounds from left to right is from bottom to top.

You may experience cases where the defined size of your layer is ignored and you can’t get linebreaking or multiple lines at all.

Layers can be used to put labels on pictures, alternative ways can be found in the [[manual:details.pdf| Details]] manual

The content of layer is fixed after your set it and will appear in the same way on each page.
