Figure number off one time

Figure number off one time

[David Arnold]

All,

I would like to use:

\placefigure
[right][fig:pythagoras]
{An early portrait of Pythagoras.}
{\getbuffer[figure]}

And I would like to turn off the figure number in this caption, but  
just for this graphic, not for any other I place. I want the number  
off, but I want to keep the caption "An early portrait of Pythagoras."

The following didn't work.

\startbuffer[figure]
\setupcaptions[number=no]
\externalfigure[Pythagoras][width=4cm]
\stopbuffer

\placefigure
[right][fig:pythagoras]
{An early portrait of Pythagoras.}
{\getbuffer[figure]}
Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosopher, born on the  
island of
Samos somewhere near the year 582 BC. He founded a number of schools,  
one in particular in a town in southern Italy called Crotone, whose  
members eventually

Any ideas?

Try

\start
  \setupcaptions[number=no]
  \placefigure
    [right]
%  [fig:pythagoras]
% If there is no number, you can not refer to it
  {An early portrait of Pythagoras.}
  {\getbuffer[figure]}
\stop

Basically \start \stop limit the effect of \setupcaptions. You can 
also use \bgroup \egroup or { .. } instead. I find \start \stop more 
Contexish.

Aditya,

Most excellent. Thanks.

hey, how come you don't know the easy way ... 

\placefigure[right,none]{An early portrait of Pythagoras.}{}

\placefigure[right,nonumber]{An early portrait of Pythagoras.}{}

\placefigure[right]{An early portrait of Pythagoras.}{}

it's david's turn to wikify this

Very nice. This worked well. Thanks Hans.

In connection with this same question, consider the small example  
that follows. My thinking was that I would like to have a couple of  
lines of the paragraph in the output, then let the rest of the  
paragraph wrap around the figure positioned at the right of the page.  
However, I get a paragraph break and an indent.

Workaround?

\setupwhitespace[medium]

\setupindenting[medium,yes]

\section[sec:pythagoras]{The Pythagoreean Theorem}

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosopher, born on the  
island of
Samos somewhere near the year 582 BC. He founded a number of schools,  
one in
\placefigure
   [right,nonumber][fig:pythagoras]
   {Pythagoras.}
   {\externalfigure[Pythagoras][width=4cm]}
particular in a town in southern Italy called Crotone, whose members  
eventually became known as the Pythagoreans. The inner circle at the  
school, the {\em Mathematikoi}, lived at the school, rid themselves  
of all personal possessions, were vegetarians, and observed a strict  
vow of silence. They studied mathematics, philosophy, and music, and  
held the belief that numbers constitute the true nature of things,  
giving numbers a mystical or even spiritual quality.

Today, nothing is known of Pythagoras's writings, perhaps due to the  
secrecy and silence of the Pythagorean society. However, one of the  
most famous theorems in all of mathematics does bear his name, the  
{\em Pythagorean Theorem.}

Use [....n*hang....] e.g.,

\starttext

\placefigure[right,nonumber,3*hang]
{Pythagoras}{\framed[width=4cm, height=2cm]{Test}}
\input tufte \input tufte

Aditya,

Excellent! Where do you learn this stuff?

no workaround, just a feature:

\placefigure
   [right,nonumber,2*hang][fig:pythagoras]
   {Pythagoras.}
   {\externalfigure[Pythagoras][width=4cm]}

or

\placefigure
   [right,nonumber,2*line][fig:pythagoras]
   {Pythagoras.}
   {\externalfigure[Pythagoras][width=4cm]}

don't rely on this to work at page boundaries
