Figures protruding into the margin in double-sided document

Figures protruding into the margin in double-sided document

[Tim Eyre ティム]

I am composing a double-sided document with wide outer margins to
allow space for figures. One type of figure is in-line with the text
and protrudes into the wide margin. This is easy to do on left-hand
pages by saying \setupfloats[location=right] and on right-hand pages
by saying \setupfloats[location=left].

Is there any way to automate this so that inserting a new page does
not mean I have to fix all the figures? I tried using a macro along
the lines of

\ifoff\pageno\\setupfloats[location=right]\else\\setupfloats[location=left]\fi
but the asynchronousness of output routines means that the page number
is usually wrong.

Any help much appreciated.

Tim

there are inner and outer related keys; see details.pdf

I use the following with a single-sided layout, for figures in the
right part of the text, bleeding 0.5 inches into the margin (with no
captions):

\definefloat[bleedfig][figure]
\setupfloat[bleedfig][rightmargindistance=-0.5in,default={force,none}]
\def\rfig#1{\placebleedfig[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[#1]}}

I learnt this method from Hans's details.pdf manual, which also has
information on getting the same idea to work using a double-sided
layout.  I'll eventually do that.

Menwahile, to use it:

  \rfig{somefile.pdf}

  Begin a paragraph, here's some text, and more text etc.

and the paragraph will be typeset around somefile.pdf, with
somefile.pdf bleeding into the right margin.

See chapters 3 and 4 at <http://web.mit.edu/18.098/> for examples.  I
learnt how to bleed the figures between writing chapters 2 and 3, so
chapters 1 and 2 don't have the 0.5in protrusion.  The source code is
at the same location (see env.tex in it).

Thank you Hans and Sanjoy for your help with this. I've added a note
to ContextGarden. Sanjoy, your document is very elegant and your
format has helped me to enhance my own.
