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.

how about just using a layer ...

...

I tried start/stopfigure (mentioned as outdated in the source) but the label is not shown.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.

You might also try pgf/tikz, according to your taste:

\usemodule[tikz] \starttikzpicture[scale=xxxx] \pgftext{\externalfigure[kuh][width=1cm]}; \draw (x,y) node {label}; \stoptikzpicture

Thanks for the tip but I won't rely on external packages, before this will happen I write my own macros. Wolfgang

And how could they help me, I want to pisition the label relative to the figure size with fraction of the figure width and heigth.

I could write my own macros to do this but I hoped you have already something available to do this.
