Hi,
what is the best method to add labels to a figure; I want them not only on the figure but their position should be relative to the figure size.
I tried start/stopfigure (mentioned as outdated in the source) but the label is not shown.
\setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}]
\starttext
\startfigure[kuh][cow] \referring(1,1)(1,1)[r:horn] \stopfigure
\externalfigure[kuh]
\stoptext
After this I tried collector and got with a little extra and a box and to dimens what I wanted but it's not very elegant.
\setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}]
\starttext
\newbox\labelbox \setbox\labelbox\hbox{\externalfigure[cow]}
\newdimen\labelwidth \labelwidth \wd\labelbox \newdimen\labelheight \labelheight\ht\labelbox
\definecollector[label][state=repeat]
\setcollector[label]{\box\labelbox}
\setcollector[label][x=.65\labelwidth,y=.75\labelheight]{udder}
\placefigure {A labelled cow} {\flushcollector[label]}
\stoptext
Figurelabel as described in the label manual [1] seem to be the perfect solution but the module isn't finished :-(
Is there not better way to achieve what I want and do I have to live with my second method or could I hope for the future.
