Sorry, I should have mentioned I was able to work around it by doing
exactly that, but I'd rather not have to edit all the \placefigure
instances if I decide to change the width.

Also I'd like to use a different default width for graphics, so
\setupexternalfigures[width=3DXXXcm] wouldn't work well either.

I realize I could define my own macros or something to solve this, but I= 9;m
just puzzled that setting width in \setupfloat[figure] doesn't work. Am= I
reading the manual wrong, or is is just not implemented yet or something? (honest question)

 Thanks for your response,

Mark

Hi Mark,
You can = use \defineexternalfigure as in the following example.

=
\defineexternalfigure[whatever][width=3D2cm]
\sta= rttext
\placefigure{}{\externalfigure[picture.png][whatever]}
\stoptext


Christoph


Thanks all for your responses.

\defineexternalfigure looks like it does something very c= lose to what I wanted. Googling it brought me to a mailing list thread wher= e a question similar to mine was asked, so for future reference: http://www.ntg.n= l/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069446.html.

So I= guess my problem is resolved, but I'd still like to understand better = why my earlier solution of doing

\setupfloat[figur= e][width=3D2cm]

didn't set a default for later= instances of \placefigure. I feel like I might be missing some aspect of t= he ConTeXt philosophy, or I'm misreading the manual, or it's just a= bug...?
