Hi Mark,
What I would probably do (again) is:
1 leave out the float dimension from the setup and use something like
\definefloat[figure][figures]
\setupfloat[figure][location=,spacebefore=,spaceafter=,sidespacebefore=,sidespaceafter=]
or whatever you want in this respect
2 collect in a separate .tex-file, to be input in your document .tex-file, all
figure-data in the form
\useexternalfigure[Fig1][YourFigure1.png][width=.x\textwidth]% etc
If you want a different uniform figure width you can then easily replace ijn
this file all width=.x\textwidth by width=.y\textwidth.
3 In your document .tex-file use
\placefigure[here][Fig1]{Title}
{\externalfigure[Fig1]}
This will probably give you optimal flexibility.
I hope it helps.
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
