The manual and others have given good advice on how to do the most
basic placment of floats, such as forcing it onto a new page.
How does one get even more control. For example, if I want a
particular table to have 2 inches of space from the left margin, or if
I want to center my figures.
Thanks
Paul

I couldn't figure out how to do what I want from this document, which
is, very detailed. (Hence: details.pdf!) Let me ask more specific
questions:
1. In order to control the placement of a float better, do I need to use
\setupfloat[figure]
\setupfloat[table]
% etc
?
2. I want to place a table or a figure on a page. I want to move it,
say, 10 cm from the left margin. How do I do this?
3. I want to create extra white space before and after the float. How
do I do this?
4. Sometimes I want the text to flow around the float, and sometimes I
don't. How do I do this?
Thanks
Paul

This is the best I can come up with. This seems like a complete
hack. For one thing, the caption does not move with the graphic.
\placefigure
[here]{Portrait of Thoreau}{\setlayer[graphics][hoffset=1in,
voffset=1in]{\externalfigure[thoreau ref]}}
