Hi all, Is it possible to combine placement attributes when specifying a floating figure or table? \placefloat[.1.][ref,..]{.2.}{.3.} .1. left right here top bottom inleft inright inmargin margin page opposite always force tall .2. text .3. text In my case, I'd like to ensure that figures in a double-sided document appear together, with the first on the left page and the second on the right. What I have reads: \placefigure [90,opposite] [Fig:a] {Figure a caption goes here} \externalfigure[a][width=0.8\makeupheight]} \placefigure [90] [Fig:b] {Figure b caption goes here} \externalfigure[b][width=0.8\makeupheight]} For the first figure, will a location of [90,opposite] ensure a rotated left-page figure? Likewise, is it possible to ensure that the second figure is forced to the next right page? Cheers, Randall

Many thanks for the reply Hans. I'm a little puzzled by what happens when I use \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]. For example: \showframe \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout[ grid=no, % grids make a mess of complex float placement topspace=0.50in, % the space at the very top of the page backspace=1.75in, % the space for binding gutter header=0.40in, % the space for headers footer=0.40in, % the space for footers leftmargin=0.75in, % the space for margin notes rightmargin=1.00in, % the space for margin notes height=fit, width=5.25in] \starttext test \startspread \placefigure [page] [Fig:a] {Figure a caption goes here} {\externalfigure[a][width=0.8\makeupwidth]} \placefigure [page] [Fig:b] {Figure b caption goes here} {\externalfigure[b][width=0.8\makeupwidth]} \stopspread \stoptext Cheers, Randall --- TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) context : ver: 2006.02.03 21:03 cont-en : ver: 2006.02.03 21:03 fmt: 2006.2.10 mes: english cont-nl : ver: 2006.02.03 21:03 fmt: 2006.2.10 mes: dutch total run time : 7 seconds
