Hello Wolfgang, "Wolfgang Schuster" writes:

\define[3]\oneplot {\placefigure[here][#3]{\bfc#2}{\scale[width=10.5cm]{#1}}}

\starttext \oneplot{\blackrule[width=1cm,height=1cm]}{Blackrule}{plot:blackrule} See at \in{Plot}[plot:blackrule]. \stoptext

Alternative solution with a real ConTeXt definition:

\definefloat[plot][plots][figure] \setupfloat[plot][command={\scale[width=5cm]}] \starttext \placefigure{Blackrule}{\blackrule[width=1cm,height=1cm]} \placeplot{Blackrule}{{\blackrule[width=1cm,height=1cm]}} \stoptext

Both methods work fine. Given that I'm using Context then I will use the Contextish way of doing things. Many thanks for you help, Roger

What would the plural form be used for? Could I use it to define a combination? If so, how?

Thanks for the help,

You need normaly only two parameters for \definefloat, e.g. the example \definefloat[plot][plot] create the command \placeplot to place the plots in your document and the commands \placelistofplots and \completelistofplots to place a content list with a plots in your document. The \definefloat command with three arguments did the same thing, but the caption of the plots is taken from \placefigure and the plotnumber is also incremented with every figure in your document.
