Hi Wolfgang, The option 'bots' is described in the Columns manual (page 18). Yes I was looking in the source, but was unable to understand what I found. I saw, that there are commented lines in page-ini.mkiv (lines 230 and ff). In columnsets "bottom" has no effect. Indeed lrbt does place the figure at the bottom. The struggle is, that I have to be able to place the figure as well left as right aligned. So the option rlbt should do this, but doesn't. All together I came then to the conclusion that one should place the float at the bottom with 'bots' and add an offset. But maybe I miss something... Th solution I have now is \startcolumnset \placefigure[lrbt][]{none}{\offset[x=1cm]{\externalfigure[fake][width=2\textwidth,height=3cm]}} % for moving the float to the right \stopcolumnset \startcolumnset \placefigure[lrbt][]{none}{\externalfigure[fake][width=2\textwidth,height=3cm]} % for a left aligned float. \stopcolumnset Kind regards Willi On 9 May 2011, at 18:34, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Dear list,
In a document with a columnsets there are many directives to place figures on certain spots (see columns-manual).
I deal with a two-columns layout. Now I would need to place a figure in the first column at the lower left edge. Here the command
\placefigure[bots][]{none}{\externalfigure[fake][width=\textwidth,height=3cm]}
will not result in the figure at the bottom of the page, instead turns up at the top.
As i can’t find any reference to a “bots” keyword it isn’t a valid option. Why don’t you use “bottom” or “lrbt” to place your picture.
Wolfgang
