Floats page?

Floats page?

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

How do I tell ConTeXt that I don't mind if the pages are
totally filled by floats (two, three, as many as fit) even
if there is no text whatsoever?

I believe / guess what Giuseppe really wants is a way to tell
context that a page may be (say) 95% full when it contains only
floats. So that there are no single/double lines at the bottom
of a page that consists largely of topfloats. And if that is
not what Giuseppew wanted, well, that is something I would like
to know how to do :-)

Cheers,

Taco

Doesn't help.

\appendix{Test results}
\setupfloats[ntop=100]
\dorecurse{8}{\input tests/curves-\recurselevel.tex
\page
}

Each file that gets included have some 8 'tables' like the
following:

\placetable[here][approx-1-0.11269]{Results for curve 1, radius 0.11269}
{\centerline{\startcombination[1*2]{\scantokens{

Sometimes, two table+figure combo would fit in one page, but they
are still put in separate pages. Also, the first page has
the appendix title but nothing is inserted, not even the
first float.

Suggestions?

if you run with \showframe, how much room is really left? it may be that 
you operate around thresholds

an option then is to slightly increase the height:

\setuplayout[height=20cm,footerdistance=1cm,footer=1cm,.....]

\definelayout[appendix][footerdistance=.5cm]

main doc text
\page
\setuplayout[appendix]
appendix text
\page
\setuplayout % revert to normal one
rest of doc
