Hi all.
I'm trying to place a TikZ picture in the margin.
Here is a small example:
\usemodule[tikz]
\setuplayout[backspace=4cm, topspace=2cm, height=middle]
\starttext
\input{lorem}
\margintext{I have discovered a truly
marvelous proof ... but
this margin is too narrow
to contain it.}
\input{lorem}
\inmargin{\externalfigure[cow] [width=\marginwidth]}
% The above works.
% The following does not:
\input{lorem}
\inmargin{
\starttikzpicture
\draw[gray] (-2,0) grid (2,2) ;
\draw plot [domain=-2:2, samples=50, smooth] (\x,{\x * \x});
\stoptikzpicture
}
\stoptext
-> Undefined control sequence
I tried using \startfigure, \hbox... no success.
Actually the command \startmarginblock ... \stop... described in the ConText reference works with a TikZ picture. But the picture, in the margin, gets near the top of the page. I don't understand the meaning of the options (especially the difference between `location' and `align'). And is it `\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]'-aware ?
Example:
\usemodule[tikz]
\setuplayout[backspace=4cm, topspace=2cm, height=middle]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
\input{lorem}
\inmargin{\externalfigure[cow] [width=\marginwidth]}
\pagebreak
\input{lorem}
\input{lorem}
\blank
We would like the picture to go the the left of this paragraph.
\setupmarginblocks[location=left,align=inner]
\startmarginblock
\starttikzpicture[scale=0.2]
\draw[gray] (-2,0) grid (2,2) ;
\draw plot [domain=-2:2, samples=50, smooth] (\x,{\x * \x});
\stoptikzpicture
\stopmarginblock
\stoptext
Best regards

Does \placefigure[margin]{caption}{... tikzpicture ...} fit your needs?
That generally works, but using LMTX there’s a horizontal shift on left pages (still need to prepare a MWE for that).

Most likely because the argument of \inmargin is scanned upfront and at that time \draw etc are undefined. One option is:
\startbuffer[picture]
\starttikzpicture
...
\stoptikzpicture
\stopbuffer
\inmargin{\getbuffer[picture]}
Another option (but better to do that in tikz module) is:
\let\draw\relax
\let\x\relax
\inmargin{\starttikzpicture ... \stoptikzpicture}

Because the \start ... \stop blocks don't scan the argument.

Here's one for you to ponder:
we have this:
% \doifelsenothing{#content}\donefalse\donetrue
we could use the slower (maybe even side effects)
% \doifelsetext{#content}\donetrue\donefalse
but go modern instead:
\ifparameter#content\donefalse\or\donetrue\else\donefalse\fi
i'll add that last one to lmtx
