How can one center or align a float?

How can one center or align a float?

[Otared Kavian]

Hi all,

How is it possible to have a STEPchart be midaligned, or right-aligned, as one may do this with figures, tables, and FLOWcharts?
An example is here:

%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usemodule[steps,mathml]
\starttext
\startbuffer[test-chart]
\startSTEPtable 
	\cell {$c=2a+3b$} \text {with $a=5$} 
	\cell {$c=10+3b$} \text {and $b=6$} 
	\cell {$c=10+18$} \text {we get} 
	\cell {$c=28$} 
\stopSTEPtable
\stopbuffer
How can one center the following \type{\STEPchart}?
\getbuffer[test-chart]
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%

I should add that \startalignment[middle], or \placefigure do not have any influence on the alignment of the above example.

Thanks in advance an best regards: OK

You have to adjust it by hand, stepchart use the complete textwidth and 
alignments
is useless in this case, use \offset to shift the chart to the right side.

\offset[x=.3\textwidth]{\getbuffer[test-chart]}

Thanks Wolfgang, your solution does perfectly what I do need.
I guess the \offset trickery can be used for other floats as well, when fine tuning is necessary.

Many thanks again: OK

You can find a few examples for \offset in the details manual:

Thanks Wolfgang! 
Indeed details.pdf is a great document (with a beautiful design), but since I didn't know how StepCharts used textwidth, I didn' think about using \offset…

Have a nice day: OK

Thanx Vyatcheslav: your suggestion works perfectly too.
It is always good to have several solutions for a problem…

Best regards: OK

Hi,

> How is it possible to have a STEPchart be midaligned, or right-aligned,

Another way:
\startnarrower[6*left] \getbuffer \stopnarrower
