Hallo! In \setupfloats[] what exactly is the difference between textmethod and sidemethod? Compared with the gridsize, why does a 1 point window (method=2) help when typesetting on grids? Isn't 1% (method=1) much more in the most cases than 1 point? Wolfgang

textmethod is used for floats inside the text flow, sidemethod for sidefloats.

I assume it corrects for the \lineskip glue.

Yes it would be. Perhaps that one is because of \maxdepth, but I am only guessing. The fact that there are two methods could be simply a trial-and-error left over. Taco

kind of; depending on the way a document is set up, rounding errors play a role, so the 1pt is taking care if that, while the .99 is th eold method; tricky stuff anyway Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
