Subject: Floats that extend into the margin?
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2003 10:35:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <16194.24548.111569.707123@famine.OCF.Berkeley.EDU> (raw)
Hello all,
I am wondering if anybody has had any luck with making floats that
extend into the margin? It's a pretty common effect and looks like:
xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx PPPPPP
xxxxxxxx PPPPPP
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Where x is the text and P is a picture. I am halfway there by
specifying a negative "margin" in \setupfloats and using a "right" or
"left" float. This gets the text in the proper position. What I need
to do is to move the float a certain amount to the right or left. I
have tried making a "top" specification of "\vbox\bgroup\hskip
Xpc\bgroup\vbox\bgroup" in my \setupfloat definition (and a "bottom"
definition to close the groups). Is this what "top" and "bottom" are
for? I must admit that I am not familiar with ConTeXt's float
mechanism.
I hope that this is clear to people. Any help is welcome.
Regards,
Erik Hetzner
