Maybe you can stay with only one kind of float. The following looks like
the expected rendering, but I don't understand the default placement of
the second large figure.
% float defs
%---
\setupfloat[figure][minwidth=\rightmarginwidth,
criterium=\rightmarginwidth,
location=middle,
default={outermargin,here}]
Thanks for that solution. It solves the problem with the list of
figures. But for the text+margin figures i have to look, if they are
placed on an odd or even page, to set the placing correctly. They should
always be shifted to the outer margin. But your solution avoids the
extra definition of margin images.
Do you know the meanings of the criterium. minwidth and maxwidth options
of \setupfloat and how they interact with each other and with default?

Hello,Thank you again for very timely and great answers to my question yesterday. I am finding that implementing things in Context is usually easier than I expect. This is very nice. Our company decided to switch to context from latex recently. It seems to have been a very good decision. Thanks for all the work you do to make context so fun to use.
We have one last thing to get translated from latex to context. David Kastrup wrote a bit of latex for us (included below) that magically writes out the absolute xy position of each paragraph and image to a log file for us. We pass some extra information to the commands that get put in the log file for us, but in the end we mainly need a way to get the absolute xy coordinates of the bounding boxes for each paragraph, each section title, each image and each image caption. Is there a way to get this information with context already? Or do I need to get a new module written?

[NTG-context] positioning a watermark
Hello,I am trying to create alternating watermarks behind the

with overlays fine, except that I could not figure out how to position
them. (I would like them in the bottom outside corners) Using layers
I could get them to repeat across pages if I
\setupbackgrounds[text][text], but only the text on the odd pages
showed up. I would really like to use \setupbackgrounds[page] so my
offsets are from the edge of the page. So I guess I have a couple of
questions.
Is it possible to position overlays?Is it possible to repeat layers using [page]?Any guess as to why only the odd pages showed the watermark in the code below?Thanks for any help.paul%output=pdf

Yes, I don't understand why it behaves like this. I thought that it would
be put in the middle.
Do you know the meanings of the criterium. minwidth and maxwidth options
of \setupfloat and how they interact with each other and with default?
It's explained in details.pdf. In brief, for margin floats:
criterium=width: says that when the figure width is greater than
width, the figure is put in the text area. When the figure width is less
than width, it is put in the default specified margin (here:
outermargin).
default=setting: default setting for that kind of float, including the
chosen placement area (outermargin), until the criterium is reached.
maxwidth=width: gives the alignment delimiter in the margin, so that the
figure will not go outside the specified width in the margin, but it will
grow in the text area instead.
minwidth=width: ensures that the figure can take at least this width, so
that if the figure width is smaller (and location=middle) it will be
centered in this area.
I hope there's no missunderstanding in these explainations (others can
tell). Anyway, it cannot be better than the details doc that shows how it
looks.

get the absolute xy coordinates of the bounding boxes for each
paragraph, each section title, each image and each image caption. Is
there a way to get this information with context already? Or do I need
to get a new module written?
i dunno about that code but context has support for positions for years now, in
your case you probably need something
\starttext
\let\CurrentPos\empty
\def\StartPos#1%
{\pushmacro\CurrentPos
\edef\CurrentPos{mypos:#1}%
\dontleavehmode\bpos\CurrentPos
\ignorespaces}
\def\StopPos
{\removeunwantedspaces
\epos\CurrentPos
\popmacro\CurrentPos}
\def\BoxPos#1%
{\dowithnextbox{\hbox{\hpos{mypos:#1}{\box\nextbox}}}\vbox}
\StartPos{x}\input tufte \StopPos
\StartPos{y}\input zapf \StopPos
\placefigure
{}
{\BoxPos{q}{\framed[width=3cm,height=4cm]{}}}
\stoptext
in the *.tui/tuo file you can grep for mypos

I have found the cause of this one. If I don't use \usefigurebase the
gfx are found and included.
* position of some (not all) overlay backgrounds is wrong (shifted to
the left); maybe only a side effect
Sadly the overlays are still placed at the wrong location.
But one step after the other :)
P
of that you can make an example ...
...I really don't know. This is what I found out so far...
First of all all macros are placed with \setlayer in the same layer,
using \framed[background=...]{..} to set the content.
For all macros with shifted overlays
* the text is placed at the correct position
* the overlay graphic ends exactly where the overlaybox starts
-
| overlay gfx | text |
-
The two working (non shifted) macros contain
* no text or
* the text is encapsulated in a \smash[d]
Mhh, weird. I *removed the text* in one shifted macro and the overlay
gfx is placed correctly. Does that ring a bell?
Anyhow, time to go to bed.

Hi,
I want to create a macro that writes files in a sub directory.
If the directory is already created, things work fine. However, if the
directory is not there, tex complains
! I can't write on file
Please type another output file name:
Is there a way I can ask tex to create a directory if one does not
exist?
Not with TeX, but you can use \write18 or \installprogram to run a
system command.
Can I ask TeX to check if a directory exists or is writable. I want it
to give an informative message if the directory does not exist.
Or is there a way to check if a file is writable, so that I can do
\doiffilewritable{dir/tempfile}{\donothing}{\message{Warning}{Please
create directory 'dir' \endinput}
