I added \unprotect..\protect and it compiled fine. The figure numbering
is the order in the source files, thanks to the numbering=nocheck;
reading down the page it is 3-1-2. Then I felt bold and commented out
the numbering=nocheck. It does one clockwise rotation of the numbers:

If it had done a anticlockwise rotation, the figure numbers would have
been right (1-2-3 reading down the page). Is it because the figure
renumbering does not know of the change to fallback=bottom (from
fallback=here)?

To avoid confusion:

means 'yes'. Or it should, at least. I remember files where I had to
run texexec twice though. I am not sure if that bug still happens,
so be careful.
Right, I meant in pages of the typeset result. I'll watch for the need
to run texexec and make a minimal example if I find the problem.
Meanwhile I've been experimenting in baby steps, and numbering=yes does
what I want, as does specifying nothing about numbering. But
numbering=nocheck doesn't stop it, so I'm confused by what the nocheck
option does (doesn't cause me problems since the default is what I want,
but I'm curious).
Probaby I'm just using an old version of context since the texshow-web
says that numbering=nocheck is a new option. My last attempt at
upgrading didn't go well (I have tetex-3.0) but maybe it's time to try
again.

A related point, which I didn't fiugre out how for my own TeX
figure-placement macros, is correct sequential numbering when some
figures are at the top of the page. Some pseudocode on one page:
=== snip ===
\ref{figure:narrow} is a narrow figure.
\figuremacro{figure:narrow}{narrowfig.1}{A narrow figure.}
\ref{figure:wide} is a wide figure.
\figuremacro{figure:wide}{widefig.1}{A wide figure}
=== snip ===
Here \figuremacro figures out (sorry) that narrow figures go in the
margin and wide figures go at the top of the page. But the page will
look funny: The narrow figure will be numbered, say, Figure 10, and
the wide figure will be Figure 11, but Figure 11 will appear before
Figure 10 on the page. Which is disconcerting to the reader.
One solution is to look at all the figures on the page and then number
them, instead of numbering them when \figuremacro is executed. I
couldn't figure out how to do that in my TeX macros, but maybe there
are hooks into the context output routine for such tricks?

Here \figuremacro figures out (sorry) that narrow figures go in the
margin and wide figures go at the top of the page. But the page will
look funny: The narrow figure will be numbered, say, Figure 10, and
the wide figure will be Figure 11, but Figure 11 will appear before
Figure 10 on the page. Which is disconcerting to the reader.
this 'choose between locations' feature is kind of present but only with
'here' as fallback but it's trivial to make that configurable:
% first a new key
\startconstantsdutch english

italian romanian
french
fallback: terugval fallback

\stopconstants
% use that key

(we needed that feature a couple of years ago in a project -)

Re: [NTG-context] placefigure feature request ?
Hans Hagen wrote: maybe \setupfloats[numbering=nocheck] does what you want I think I want the opposite. The documentation for \setupfloats at http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ says New option: numbering yes nocheck (default yes) nocheck causes no renumbering so it preserves figure's source order My problem was that the source order (which is the order of first reference, probably) is not the order on the page. The wide figure floats to the top of the page (because it's wide) even though its source position is later than the narrower figure that fits in the margin. So 'numbering=yes' will number according to position on the page? -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
