Figures protruding into the margin in double-sided document
I am composing a double-sided document with wide outer margins to allow space for figures. One type of figure is in-line with the text and protrudes into the wide margin. This is easy to do on left-hand pages by saying \setupfloats[location=right] and on right-hand pages by saying \setupfloats[location=left]. Is there any way to automate this so that inserting a new page does not mean I have to fix all the figures? I tried using a macro along the lines of \ifoff\pageno\\setupfloats[location=right]\else\\setupfloats[location=left]\fi but the asynchronousness of output routines means that the page number is usually wrong. Any help much appreciated. Tim

there are inner and outer related keys; see details.pdf -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

I use the following with a single-sided layout, for figures in the right part of the text, bleeding 0.5 inches into the margin (with no captions): \definefloat[bleedfig][figure] \setupfloat[bleedfig][rightmargindistance=-0.5in,default={force,none}] \def\rfig#1{\placebleedfig[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[#1]}} I learnt this method from Hans's details.pdf manual, which also has information on getting the same idea to work using a double-sided layout. I'll eventually do that. Menwahile, to use it: \rfig{somefile.pdf} Begin a paragraph, here's some text, and more text etc. and the paragraph will be typeset around somefile.pdf, with somefile.pdf bleeding into the right margin. See chapters 3 and 4 at http://web.mit.edu/18.098/ for examples. I learnt how to bleed the figures between writing chapters 2 and 3, so chapters 1 and 2 don't have the 0.5in protrusion. The source code is at the same location (see env.tex in it). -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)

Thank you Hans and Sanjoy for your help with this. I've added a note to ContextGarden. Sanjoy, your document is very elegant and your format has helped me to enhance my own. Tim
