        Hi,

        I've been having some problems with tikz figures. When I
        define a new
        tikz figure, I normally put it in a buffer:

        \startbuffer[mypic]
               \starttikzfigure
                       ...
               \stoptikzfigure
        \stopbuffer

        which I use later when I place the figure

        \placefigure{My picture}{\getbuffer[mypic]}

        The problem is that the figure is not centred: it is always
        aligned with
        the left side of the document. I guess this has something to
        do with
        Context not being able to get the image bounds, since it works
        fine for
        tikz images that are already precompiled into PDFs:

        \placefigure{My picture}{\externalimage[mypic.pdf]}

        Minimal example is attached.

        Michael.


You have to wrap up the picture inside of a \hbox, e.g.

\hbox{\starttikzfigure
       ...
    \stoptikzfigure}

Hmm, why didn't I think of that... Thanks!
