\setupframed and \externalfigure influence each other

\setupframed and \externalfigure influence each other

[Berend de Boer]

Hello Hans,

It seems that \setupframed incluences \externalfigure.

For example

\setupframed
        [frame=off,
         bottomframe=on]

\useexternalfigure
        [test]  
        [test.png]

\starttext

\test

\stoptext

gives an underlined figure. Certainly unexpected, although I can
explain it. I think \setupframed should only influence \framed.

Groetjes,

Berend. (-:

many commands use the low level \framed macro, but normally using their own
namespace, but \externalfigure *was* an exception. I changed that when
writing the metafun manual where this problem showed up. So, newer versions
suffer less from this dependency. Even better, since there can be nested
\externalfigure's [don't even start thinking about why, since it took me
days to uncover and untangle that mess], from now on \externalfigure has a
couple of more framed/size related features [reset=yes|no] being one of them. 
However, for normal usage, you may forget those. 

So, if things are right, the beta (and coming versions) behave more well. 

BTW, \setupframed is typically not a command you will use globally, for
specific situations it's better to use \defineframed to create an instance
to play with.
