Why this does not center the figure horizontally? What should I do to center it?

\placefigure{none}{ \starttikzpicture[scale=0.3] \draw (0,0) -- (5,0) -- (4.5,6) -- (1.5,6) -- cycle; \stoptikzpicture }

I discovered that using combinations with "1*1" helps, but this is a dirty trick;). (Also, "none" as a label does not work with combinations - is it a bug or a feature?)

OK, so I'm answering myself. The problem is (I guess so at least) that the second parameter somehow gets typeset "as a paragraph" - that is, with full paragraph's width (=width of the whole column). Since nothing is said about centering, it is flush left. This helps:

\placefigure{none}{\hbox{ \starttikzpicture[scale=0.5] \draw (0,0) -- (5,0) -- (4.5,6) -- (1.5,6) -- cycle; \stoptikzpicture }}

Maybe it's not very clean, but it seems to work. If anyone has a cleaner (more "ConTeXt-way-ish" solution), I'd be thankful for a hint.

often

\placefigure{none}{\dontleavehmode \starttikzpicture[scale=0.5] \draw (0,0) -- (5,0) -- (4.5,6) -- (1.5,6) -- cycle; \stoptikzpicture }

works as well; the second ars to placefigure goes into a vbox Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
