Thank you for taking a look at this. Too bad your solution is only MkII. The document I'm currently working on is to be written in APA style and unfortunately the frame around figure+caption is required... I'm not really interested in changing to MkII... ;) I hope there can also be a not too involed solution for this in MkIV.

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi list,

I'm using 201100920 00:09 MkIV standalone.  Some time ago Marcin Borkowski 
asked [1] on this list about framing floats together with their captions.  It 
seems to be unanswered and now I stumbled upon a similar problem.  I want to 
have a figure with a caption together in a frame as wide as the surrounding 
text, aka \textwidth and the caption filling the available horizontal space.  
I.e. I want something like

\setupcaption[width=\textwidth]
\starttext
\placefigure[here]{\input tufte}{\externalfigure[cow]}
\stoptext

with a frame around it.

Found this in my mail archive:

% engine=pdftex

\setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}]

\setupfloats[frame=on,frameoffset=1mm]

\starttext

\section{A figure with a background}

\placefigure
  {none}
  {\placelegend
     {\externalfigure[mill][scale=2000]}
     {\placefloatcaption[figure]{A dutch mill}}}

\stoptext

It works only with MkII because \placefloatcaption isn’t yet rewritten for the 
new MkIV code.

Wolfgang
