== Description == <code>\{{cmd|setupbackgrounds</code> }} is used to draw frames or backgrounds that cover specific areas of the page, under the text layer. It is especially used in combination with the
The first parameter sets the main layout area; the optional second one specifies the linked subarea(s) of the prior. Not all main areas have such subareas.
Because {{cmd|showframe}} and <code>\{{cmd|setupbackgrounds</code> }} both draw frameboxes over parts of the page, the order in which they are invoked matters. In most cases, {{cmd|setupbackgrounds}} should come last. Backgrounds are essential for working with [[Layers]]. You enable your defined layers like <code>\setupbackgrounds[page][background=mylayer]</code>. The <tt>background</tt> key also takes a list, and if you include "foreground", you can also set something on top of your general content, e.g. <code>\setupbackgrounds[page][background={mybacklayer,foreground,mytoplayer}]</code> should come last.

== See also ==
* [[Layers]]
* {{cmd|setupframed}}, which is the mechanism used by \setupbackgrounds.
