Hraban thank you for your answer.

I tried diffrent approaches in the meantime, however I am unable to get it working.

What is wrong with this code? — The code woks a for the context.framedtext()

\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]

\startluacode

function Foto_page() --thirddata....

context.startplacefigure({number="",textstyle="red",title="A Test"}) context.externalfigure("{cow.pdf}",{width="0.5\\textwidth"})

It is subtle, but you need: context.externalfigure({“cow.pdf"},{width="0.5\\textwidth"}) A “lua table” becomes [] stuff, a “lua string” becomes {} stuff. Your original resulted in \externalfigure{{cow.pdf}}[width={0.5\textwidth}] Best wishes, Taco PS \enabletrackers[context.*]

--context.framedtext( -- {frame="on",style="\\bfd"}, -- "{This is a test}") context.stopplacefigure() end

\stopluacode

\define\Test{\ctxlua{Foto_page()}}

\starttext \strut \Test \stoptext

Hi all, I wanted to place a figure in a cld. The example in the cld manual does not reveal how to influence bahavior except for the caption. context.placefigure( “caption”, function() context.externalfigure({i}, { width = "\\textwidth" } ) end ) Can anybody enlighten me?

Just use

context.startplacefigure({ option = "some", otheroption = "thing" }) ... context.stopplacefigure()
