kind of; depending on the way a document is set up, rounding errors play a 
role, so the 1pt is taking care if that, while the .99 is th eold method; 
tricky stuff anyway

textmethod is used for floats inside the text flow, sidemethod for
sidefloats.

I assume it corrects for the \lineskip glue.

Yes it would be. Perhaps that one is because of \maxdepth,
but I am only guessing. The fact that there are two methods
could be simply a trial-and-error left over.

[NTG-context] Floats Method

2006-08-02 Thread wwl
Hallo!

In \setupfloats[] what exactly is the difference between textmethod 
and sidemethod?

Compared with the gridsize, why does a 1 point window (method=2) help 
when typesetting on grids?

Isn't 1% (method=1) much more in the most cases than 1 point?
