All,

I would like to use:

\placefigure [right][fig:pythagoras] {An early portrait of Pythagoras.} {\getbuffer[figure]}

And I would like to turn off the figure number in this caption, but just for this graphic, not for any other I place. I want the number off, but I want to keep the caption "An early portrait of Pythagoras."

The following didn't work.

Try

\start \setupcaptions[number=no] \placefigure [right] % [fig:pythagoras] % If there is no number, you can not refer to it {An early portrait of Pythagoras.} {\getbuffer[figure]} \stop

Basically \start \stop limit the effect of \setupcaptions. You can also use \bgroup \egroup or { .. } instead. I find \start \stop more Contexish.

Very nice. This worked well. Thanks Hans. In connection with this same question, consider the small example that follows. My thinking was that I would like to have a couple of lines of the paragraph in the output, then let the rest of the paragraph wrap around the figure positioned at the right of the page. However, I get a paragraph break and an indent. Workaround? \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \starttext \section[sec:pythagoras]{The Pythagoreean Theorem} Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosopher, born on the island of Samos somewhere near the year 582 BC. He founded a number of schools, one in \placefigure [right,nonumber][fig:pythagoras] {Pythagoras.} {\externalfigure[Pythagoras][width=4cm]} particular in a town in southern Italy called Crotone, whose members eventually became known as the Pythagoreans. The inner circle at the school, the {\em Mathematikoi}, lived at the school, rid themselves of all personal possessions, were vegetarians, and observed a strict vow of silence. They studied mathematics, philosophy, and music, and held the belief that numbers constitute the true nature of things, giving numbers a mystical or even spiritual quality. Today, nothing is known of Pythagoras's writings, perhaps due to the secrecy and silence of the Pythagorean society. However, one of the most famous theorems in all of mathematics does bear his name, the {\em Pythagorean Theorem.} \stoptext On Aug 1, 2006, at 1:01 AM, Hans Hagen wrote:

hey, how come you don't know the easy way ...

\placefigure[right,none]{An early portrait of Pythagoras.}{}

\placefigure[right,nonumber]{An early portrait of Pythagoras.}{}

\placefigure[right]{An early portrait of Pythagoras.}{}

it's david's turn to wikify this

Use [....n*hang....] e.g.,

\starttext

\placefigure[right,nonumber,3*hang] {Pythagoras}{\framed[width=4cm, height=2cm]{Test}} \input tufte \input tufte

\stoptext
