And yet, experiments suggest that frameoffset does indeed do something (in, specifically, \externalfigure, I didn't yet try \setupexternalfigure). Given that frameoffset does something and is not mentioned in setup-en.pdf, I will add to my wonderment (2') the summary in setup-en.pdf is incomplete. >> (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. > I hope it is clear now. Well, given that (at least on my computer, with context updated a couple of days ago) frameoffset does do something. So I still see an inconsistency. I would be happy to help out by editing the wiki to accurately describe reality. The problem is, I'm not sure what reality is supposed to be on this point. For example, if I edited the wiki to say that offset has no effect in \setupexternalfigure, and it turns out that some (recent?) change to something else broke 'offset=', then I wouldn't want to add misinformation. >> 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.

As I mentioned, on my system I can get a frame offset from the image without using \frame, but unfortunately it is the type of frame which is "invisible" to the layout of the page. > I hope it helps, It does (a bit), thanks again for your time.
