Hello, I've recently updated my standalone (32-bit Linux) ConTeXT from 2011.02.25 to 2011.09.20, and I'm now having some trouble with float placement. I'm using MkIV. I'm trying to have figures protruding into the outer margins with a double-sided layout, as described here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Floating_Objects#Protruding_Floats_in_Double-S... Here is my minimal example: \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={margin,header}] \setupfloat[figure][location=inner] \showframe \starttext % An extra page. \page[yes] \dorecurse{4}{ \placefigure[]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]}} \stoptext With version 2011.02.25 this produces the desired result; with 2011.09.20, the first figure is placed correctly, and all subsequent figures protrude in the same direction, whether they're on an even or odd page. So in the given example they all protrude to the right. If an extra page is inserted at the start so that the first figure is on an even page, they all protrude to the left. Does anyone have any ideas or insights? Thanks in advance, Pont

Hmm, I guess not. I will put a note on the wiki page and revert to my old ConTeXt version for now. If anyone has an idea for a workaround I would be glad to know of it. Regards, Pont

hm , it looks like a bad match with between width=17cm and textwidth This extreme example seems to works \setuplayout[location=doublesided,width=20pc] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={margin,header}] \setupfloat[figure][location=inner] \showframe \starttext % An extra page. \page[yes] \dorecurse{4}{ \placefigure[]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=30pc]}\page} \stoptext -- luigi

Thanks! The \page after the figure certainly seems to fix it. Unfortunately a page break after every figure is impractical in my real document, but this might put me on the track of a solution (once I've read the layout manual a couple more times). Pont

I 've put \page just to show quickly the effect, but maybe there are still problems
\setuplayout[location=doublesided,width=20pc] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={margin,header}] \setupfloat[figure][location=inner] \showframe \starttext % An extra page. \page[yes] \dorecurse{40}{ \placefigure[here]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=30pc]}} \stoptext -- luigi

Yes, that's pretty bad... in subsequent tests I've found that ‘diluting’ the figures with sufficient text (like adding \page) fixes the problem -- unfortunately mixing [here] and [page] placement (as I need to do in my document) messes it up again. In addition, several of my tests crash ConTeXt with the error ‘Argument of \rootfloatparameter has an extra }’, for example: \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={margin,header}] \setupfloat[figure][location=inner] \showframe \starttext \input knuth \dorecurse{4}{ \placefigure[here]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]} \input knuth \placefigure[page]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]} \input knuth % \input knuth % uncomment this line to make the file work } \stoptext Again, this works with v2011.02.25 (although figure numbers are mixed up). I think I'll have to give up on this now and revert to the old version, but I'll put a pointer to this thread on the Wiki in case anyone else runs into similar problems. Pont

Does anyone have any ideas or insights?
Should be fixed in the next beta. Wolfgang

Many thanks! I confirm that my original example works as expected with ConTeXt 2011.10.01. However, for certain files (including my dissertation) ConTeXt stops with the error ‘Argument of \rootfloatparameter has an extra }’. Here's a minimal example which causes the problem: \starttext \dorecurse{3}{ \placefigure[]{}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} \input knuth \placefigure[]{}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} } \stoptext The example works if I comment out any of the three lines in the \dorecurse, or if I change \dorecurse{3} to \dorecurse{2}. The example also fails with 2011.09.20, but works with 2011.02.25. Pont

Thank you once more; this now works as expected for me, both on the example and on my dissertation. Pont
