Howto float text around an image on layer (in a frame, inside standardmakeup)?
Hello, hopefully this is the last dumb question, cause the CD is nearing it's end an will be prepared for printing soon ;-) How can I float text around a picture if I place them on a layer? What I want to achieve is something like this: ppp........ ppp........ ........... but typeset onto a layer to position it at my will ... But I can't get the text flow around the graphic. Here is a minimal example: ------------------------------------------------------------- \definelayer[test] \startbuffer[text] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \input tufte \stopbuffer \setlayerframed[test] [x=.5\paperwidth,y=2em,location=bottom] [width=0.8\textwidth,height=0.3\textheight,align=normal] {\getbuffer[text]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test] \starttext \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------- and the result can be seen in the attached PDF. The same happens inside a standardmakeup ------------------------------------------------------------- \startbuffer[text] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \input tufte \stopbuffer \starttext \startstandardmakeup \getbuffer[text] \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------- and inside a framedtext ------------------------------------------------------------- \startbuffer[text] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \input tufte \stopbuffer \starttext \startframedtext[width=0.8\textwidth] \getbuffer[text] \stopframedtext \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------- Neither the mailinglist, nor the wiki or the documentation have given me any clue, what to change or where to look further ... Is there another way to flow text around an image? The image has a fixed position (top left corner of the text) so it don't has to be a float at all. Thank you for all your help Uwe

Not possible with a layer.
But I can't get the text flow around the graphic. Here is a minimal example: ------------------------------------------------------------- \definelayer[test]
\startbuffer[text] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \input tufte \stopbuffer
\setlayerframed[test] [x=.5\paperwidth,y=2em,location=bottom] [width=0.8\textwidth,height=0.3\textheight,align=normal] {\getbuffer[text]}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=test]
\starttext \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext -------------------------------------------------------------
and the result can be seen in the attached PDF.
The same happens inside a standardmakeup ------------------------------------------------------------- \startbuffer[text] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \input tufte \stopbuffer
\starttext \startstandardmakeup \getbuffer[text] \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext -------------------------------------------------------------
and inside a framedtext ------------------------------------------------------------- \startbuffer[text] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \input tufte \stopbuffer
\starttext \startframedtext[width=0.8\textwidth] \getbuffer[text] \stopframedtext \stoptext -------------------------------------------------------------

standardmakeup and framedtext use a \vbox and floating text around a image did not work in restricted vertical mode unless you use ConTeXt's stream mechanism, you can find examples in m-streams or in the list archive.
Is there another way to flow text around an image? The image has a fixed position (top left corner of the text) so it don't has to be a float at all.
Do you really need standardmakeup or why do you use it. A alternative for framedtext is textbackground, it is also the better solution in grid mode. \definetextbackground [cover] [frame=on, location=paragraph, background=, leftoffset=.25ex, rightoffset=.25ex, topoffset=.25ex, bottomoffset=.25ex] \starttext \starttextbackground[cover] \getbuffer[text] \stoptextbackground \stoptext Regards Wolfgang

Thank you for all your help! Yes I *have to* wikify all the stuff I learned while setting the Booklet. And I promise, I will do it! Best regards Uwe -- Dipl.-Ing.
