Hi,

sorry, the next looks so simple, it's probably an often answered thing (I just could not find the answer anywhere$B!D(B)

Why is there a little gap above the figure, though it should be "top". How to avoid it?

\starttext \showframe \placefigure[top]{}{\externalfigure[../Figures/Test][frame=off]} \stoptext

The gap is the difference between the height of a typical line (\blank) and TeX's \topskip parameter. That explains it, but I do not see a nice way to correct the behaviour.

i'll add a switch: \unprotect \chardef\topinserttopskipmode=0 % 1 no topskip \def\OTRONEdotopinsertions {\ifvoid\topins\else \ifgridsnapping \box\topins \vskip-\topskip \vskip\strutheight % [xx] new: see icare topbleed \else \ifcase\topinserttopskipmode % 0: default, do nothing \or % 1: no topskip (crossed fingers) \vskip-\topskip \vskip\strutheight \fi \unvbox\topins \fi \fi \global\topinserted\zeropoint} \protect \starttext \showframe \placefigure[top]{}{\externalfigure[dummy][frame=on]} \stoptext so, \chardef\topinserttopskipmode=1 will remove topskip; undocumented, not interfaced, etc 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
