Re: [NTG-context] Full-page Figure?

30 Mar 2022


      Almost there.  But if I add \setuppagenumbering  [alternative=doublesided]
to the example, there is a blank page before the makeup page, and an unnumbered blank page after.  If I add doublesided=no to the
\setupmakeup options, the unnumbered blank page is not there, but there is still a blank page before.  It is seemingly forcing
a right-hand page for some reason I do not understand.

Is there a simple way to accomplish this?
I suppose you need 'postponing'. See
 https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startpostponing
[One can specify a page explicitly, or, more conveniently, an offset]
First, we define a makeup and enable header, footer and page for it. Then we can put the float inside the makeup and wrap it with \start...\stoppostponing. Here is a MWE:
%%% start example
 \setupexternalfigures[location=default]
 \definemakeup
   [FloatPage]
 \setupmakeup
   [FloatPage]
   [headerstate=normal,
      pagestate=start,
          align=middle,
    footerstate=normal]
\setupheadertexts[]
 \setupheadertexts[chapter][\date]
 \setupfootertexts[pagenumber]
\starttext
 \startchapter [title={Chapter title}]
   \startpostponing[+1]
     \startFloatPagemakeup
     \placefigure{a floating cow}{\externalfigure[cow]}
     \stopFloatPagemakeup
   \stoppostponing
 \dorecurse{6}{\samplefile{knuth}}
 \blank
\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{tufte}}
 \stopchapter
 \stoptext
%%% stop example
Of course, I think some manual hand-tuning is required (in the final stages of the document) in deciding the right place to put the postponing block and in deciding what offset is best.
