placing figures

placing figures

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi!

If I use \placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[somepicture]} there's always 
a vast space around the image.
For using initial letter pictures (or more like that) I'd like to decrease 
that space. But I didn't find the right options, something in
\setupfloats, I guess.

Is it further possible to place this figure at the upper rim of its space
and not centered?

Any hints?

Grüßlis vom Hraban!

I've used this for just that purpose:

\setupfloats[spacebefore=0pt, spaceafter=0pt, sidespacebefore=0pt,
sidespaceafter=0pt, margin=4pt]

\setupfloat
   [figure]
   [sidespacebefore=none,
    sidespaceafter=none]

\setupfloat
   [figure]
   [location=left]

Also, you may want to test (latest version):

   \placefigure[left,high]{}{} \input tufte

to align at the line height.
