Is there a way to have figures placed on a slightly larger colored background and then have paragraph text flow around the enlarged area? I tried the following (using ver 2009.11.26 16:28 MKII): \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \placefigure[right,none]{}% {\externalfigure[sample/cow.pdf]% [scale=500, frame=on, frameoffset=20pt, framecolor=black, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, backgroundoffset=20pt]} \input knuth \stoptext But the frame and background bleed into the text. I tried wrapping the externalfigure in a \framed, and also wrapping that in an \vbox or an \hbox (desperate measures, I admit). But somehow the \placefigure always knew exactly the size of the cow itself and used only that information, rather than the size of the enlarged background. Any suggestions appreciated. (I'd wikify in the framed section.) -Sanjoy

\starttext \placefigure[right,none]{}% {\externalfigure[sample/cow.pdf]% [scale=500, frame=on, frameoffset=20pt, framecolor=black, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, backgroundoffset=20pt]}
\input knuth \stoptext
But the frame and background bleed into the text.
Hello Sanjoy, \starttext \placefigure[right]{Problem: offset=20pt ignored here!} {\externalfigure[sample/cow.pdf] [scale=500, frame=on, offset=20pt, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray]} \input knuth \placefigure[right]{This is ok!}{\framed[offset=20pt, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray]{\externalfigure[sample/cow.pdf][scale=500]}} \input knuth \stoptext Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
Peter,
\placefigure[right]{This is ok!}{\framed[offset=20pt, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray]{\externalfigure[sample/cow.pdf][scale=500]}} \input knuth
Ah, I had tried almost that recipe (of wrapping the \externalfigure in a \framed) but had used backgroundoffset and frameoffset. Yours works perfectly.
