Vertical alignment of \placefigure[right]

Vertical alignment of \placefigure[right]

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

I would like to vertically shift the placement of figures
(\placefigure[right]...), so that the upper side of the figure would
be aligned with the top of the first line in a paragraph as opposed to
the bottom of the first paragraph.

Here's a minimal example. The second "ugly workaround" shows what I'm
trying to achieve, but ideally using a cleaner approach. Does there
exist a magic keyword for that?

\starttext
\hrule
\placefigure[right]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm]{}}
\input knuth

% ugly workaround
\hrule
\vskip-11pt
\placefigure[right]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm]{}}
\vskip11pt
\input knuth
\stoptext

Thank you,
    Mojca

You can change the value with

    \setupfloat[spacebefore=]

but it’s a global value for all float types.

Ah, I can finally answer a question.  The key is "high":

\starttext
\hrule
\placefigure[right,high]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm]{}}
\input knuth
\stoptext

But that seems too easy.  Is it what you want?

Yes, perfect, that's *exactly* what I want. Thank you, Sanjoy.

Now it would be nice to document this on
    http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/placefigure

What other keywords are related to "high"? I'm guessing "low" which
might or might not spare you an extra line on bottom (but that's just
judging from a few quick experiments).

If you know a bit more about how to combine these keywords, I would be
grateful if you would add a few examples, else I'll document this one.

I use "high" in combination with zero spacing afterwards, in order to
tighten the text flowing around the figure.  Compare the two variants
below.  (I confess to not knowing the difference between
"sidespaceafter" and "spaceafter," but both seem to have the same
effect.)

\starttext
{\setupfloats[sidespaceafter=0pt]
\hrule
\placefigure[right,high]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4.3cm]{}}
\input knuth

}
\vskip1cm

\hrule
\placefigure[right,high]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4.3cm]{}}
\input knuth

\stoptext

Here are a few more keys.  I don't fully understand their effect, but I
found them in strc-flt.mkvi (p.s. shouldn't that be .mkiv ?).

In the final "grid" examples, I extended the figure height to 4.5cm, to
show the effect of the grid, which seems to be that the bottom of the
figure aligns with a baseline.  The top can then protrude, if the height
is not a multiple of the line height.  But, if the figure heights are
right, it would look good in combination with
\setupfloats[sidespaceafter=0pt].

Some of the keys are documented in the 'details' manual
(http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/details.pdf) in section 6.
I discovered the 'high' key there!

All the best.
