I'm trying to set a default width for figures with \setupfloat. However,

\starttext

\placefigure{}{\externalfigure[picture.png]}


\stoptext

 just

\placefigure{}{\externalfigure[picture.png][width=2cm]}



picture.png just gets inserted at its native size, rather than scaled to
have the specified width. What am I doing wrong? (setting minwidth
and/or maxwidth doesn't seem to work either)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

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=XXXcm] wouldn't work well either.

I realize I could define my own macros or something to solve this, but I'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
