2010/11/11 Michael Murphy Hi,

I've been having some problems with tikz figures. When I define a new tikz figure, I normally put it in a buffer:

\startbuffer[mypic] \starttikzfigure ... \stoptikzfigure \stopbuffer

which I use later when I place the figure

\placefigure{My picture}{\getbuffer[mypic]}

The problem is that the figure is not centred: it is always aligned with the left side of the document. I guess this has something to do with Context not being able to get the image bounds, since it works fine for tikz images that are already precompiled into PDFs:

\placefigure{My picture}{\externalimage[mypic.pdf]}

Minimal example is attached.

Michael.

You have to wrap up the picture inside of a \hbox, e.g.

\hbox{\starttikzfigure ... \stoptikzfigure}

Hmm, why didn't I think of that... Thanks!
