Sanjoy, Hans had me do the following and it worked. \placefigure [inright,reset][fig:graphmap] {A mapping diagram for $f$.} {\externalfigure[graph1][width=\marginwidth]} On Apr 5, 2006, at 9:49 PM, Sanjoy Mahajan wrote:

I tested the following on the context live. Both figures are in the margin, but the first and second paragraphs have a large gap between them with figure 1 in the margin, beside the gap. My first theory was that the margin figure requires the whitespace (unlikely, I know). But that theory didn't last long: If I restore the commented-out '\input knuth' line, then the layout has no gaps.

====================================================================== \useMPlibrary[dum]

\starttext \input tufte \placefigure[rightmargin]{first}{\externalfigure[dummy]} \par %\input knuth \placefigure[rightmargin]{third}{\externalfigure[dummy]} \par \input knuth \stoptext ======================================================================
