Subject: [NTG-context] \framed{\externalfigure} vs \externalfigure[frame=on]
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2024 12:44:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZbUy7LS6WpnlVyXW@x360.localdomain> (raw)

The wiki page for \setupexternalfigure says
     "Show frame around image. Most(?) options of \setupframed are usable!"

I tried to put a frame around a picture (using \externalfigure with
frame=on) but I didn't get the frame to play nicely (see example below).  I
can get the frame where I want it if instead I do
     \framed[frame=on,...]{\externalfigure...}
but this leaves me wondering whether
(1) I am misinterpreting the wiki pages,
(2) The wiki pages are misleading/wrong, or
(3) There is a bug in some code.

If anyone would care to enlighten me, I would appreciate it.

In particular, the offset=... option of \externalfigure does not seem to be
consistent with the offset=... option of \framed.

Here is the example... one and all should be able to directly run it, but
the text above and below each picture may make the issues clear without
having to run the code.  (The result I was looking for is the second figure
in this example.)

Thanks.
