Hello, In Mk II, I need to place figures - with numbers and captions - but \placefigure is for floats and never places the figure [here]. Is there another way? Thanks, -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org

I've found that mostly [here,force] will do the trick, but sometimes a judiciously placed \page helps, too. That is a bit of cheap and sleazy way of doing it and I only do that in the final round of layouting, but works for me. I think the 'real' way would be using layers, but haven't gotten as far as to teaching myself *that*. See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers for more information. Regards, Mari

[here, force] does when it wants :-) I will reduce the size of the 3 figures, add a 4th and play with 'combinatie' (2 x 2)

Layers are a graphic technique.
