Hi Robert,
As far as I know this is not (yet) possible in MkIV. Depends on Hans
if he adds it. See the conversation "Placefigure inner/outer" from
August. (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/83680/focus=83684)
@Hans/Wolfgang: any idea it will be added in the (near) future?
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Contexters,
Does anyone know whether it is possible in mkiv to position figures protruding in the outer margin? In mkii it used to work.
It seems to me that this simple feature does not work in mkiv. See minimal example below. Is this a bug?
Regards,
Robert

Hi Jörg and Marco,
Thanks for your replies.
I have tried the chemistry textbook examples too, especially vignette seems to do what I want. I noticed you used mkii at the time, but I have mkiv now. Should I return to mkii if I want to obtain this?
Regards,
Robert

Maybe what I did helps: see "Figures III" on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Biochemistry_textbook. Although I used mkII at the time.
Cheers, Jörg

Hi Marco,
Thank you very much indeed for your reply. This topic apparently does not interest many people.
In your suggestion the figures are put in the outer margin in a vertical row below one another close to the top of the page, and not near the position in the text.
I want them positioned close to the place in the text which should flow around them. I have seen examples of this made by Context. This can be obtained by specifying default=left, or default=right, only I need the figures to protrude into the (outer) margin. This for some reason does not work under mkiv.
I still have some time, but my deadline is approaching.
Thanks again!
Kind regards,
Robert

You probably confused edge and margin. By default the edge has zero width and has to be enabled using \setuplayout.

\setupexternalfigures [location=default]
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided]
\definefloat [marginfigure] [marginfigures] [figure]
\setupfloat [marginfigure] [default=margin, criterium=\marginwidth]
\setupcaption [marginfigure] [number=no]
