Re: [NTG-context] Problem with text floating around tikz picture
Hello,
I'm forwarding the author's answer back to the mailing list. If anyone
has some nice idea about possible solutions, let us/him know ...
I don't remember how I was solving such problems so far, but I know
that I have always been missing:
% maybe even some external file with extremely long code
\starttikzpicture{picture name}
...
\stoptikzpicture
\placefigure{some figure}{\usetikzpicture{picture name}}
If that was implemented, maybe \usetikzpicture could be inside an hbox?

Hi!
the problem is caused by the fact that a tikz/pgf picture is a \hbox, but
with \leavevmode before it. This turned out to be necessary to ensure that
tikzpictures behave the same way for all backend drivers.
Certainly the added \hbox is a correct solution to this problem since it
gets tex back into the right mode...
I don't really know how to change this in an elegant manner since existing
code will now assume that tikzpictures are always set in horizontal mode, so
any change could have desastrous consequences for existing documents.
Sorry,
Till

Hi again;),
this won't work:
\placefigure[right]{none}{\starttikzpicture
\draw (0,0) -| (2,2) -| (0,0) -- (2,2)
(2,0) -- (0,2)
(1,1) circle(1);
\stoptikzpicture}
(some text...)
The tikzpicture apparently extends to the whole text width, resulting in
an overfull box (and nasty paragraph formatting). Putting it into an
\hbox helps, so I know what to do; the question is, _why_ this works
that way?

maybe you can use (in the context variant)
\ifinsidefloat
(true when inside a floating body, so just then put an hbox around it)
(sometimes putting \dontleavehmode in front also helps)

[NTG-context] Problem with text floating around tikz picture

\starttikzpicture
should do the box trick ...
\let\normalstarttikzpicture\starttikzpicture
\let\normalstoptikzpicture \stoptikzpicture
\def\starttikzpicture{\hbox\bgroup\nomalstarttikzpicture}
\def\stoptikzpicture {\nomalstoptikzpicture\egroup}
but i'm not maintaining thst module myself
