float at fixed position

float at fixed position

[Peter Rolf]

Hi,

in a multi column layout I want to place a figure at a fixed position.
Inserting a floating object at a fixed position doesn't make any sense,
but I need the correct caption (number) for the graphic. Sadly
\placefigure fails with

[..]
todo            : flush notes
todo            : enable notes
! Missing number, treated as zero.

\OTRSETcheckwidthga...

                                  \endofloop

                                                  }
...
l.16 \stopcolumnset

?

Is this a bug or am I misusing the macro too much?
Example code at the end of this mail.

yes (example works) and no (no general solution) :)

I updated the example (end of mail). Haven't looked into the code, but
this looks like an indexing problem to me. If \@@mc4 stands for 'multi
column 4' we are in trouble, because only three columns are used here.

\startsetups test
\externalfigure[cow]
\stopsetups

don't use placefigure inside an area
