The wiki page for \setupexternalfigure says "Show frame around image. Most(?) options of \setupframed are usable!" I tried to put a frame around a picture (using \externalfigure with frame=on) but I didn't get the frame to play nicely (see example below). I can get the frame where I want it if instead I do \framed[frame=on,...]{\externalfigure...} but this leaves me wondering whether (1) I am misinterpreting the wiki pages, (2) The wiki pages are misleading/wrong, or (3) There is a bug in some code. If anyone would care to enlighten me, I would appreciate it. In particular, the offset=... option of \externalfigure does not seem to be consistent with the offset=... option of \framed. Here is the example... one and all should be able to directly run it, but the text above and below each picture may make the issues clear without having to run the code. (The result I was looking for is the second figure in this example.) Thanks.
