Hi,
I’m doing also manuals (utility vehicles), graphics are mainly not
screenshots but drawings (or photos), but I have also chapters which
consist mainly in screenshots (of a 640px or so control device).
My messures refere to A5 landscape.
Best solution for me so far: a constant margin of about 45 mm where I
can put my images/screenshots in; the images go in as
\place[margin]; so they are always aligned on top and
respecting each other;). Sometimes I do a \margintext or \inmargin
but preferably vers the end of the production.
It happens that on some pages the margin will be empty. For me this is
ok.
The advantage is, that you’ll rest quite flexible, when you have to
insert new things or to replace images. The flow-text flow is quite
good.
In annexe I put my env-file (a bit cleaned-up), so you can get an idea
(once again: its a5 landscape).
env_rxt_cleaned.tex
Description: Binary data
Although a bit cleaned it contain s much stuff of a context newby, but
maybe you get the idea.
Hope I could help
Greetings from Switzerland

Hi @all,
at the moment I'm writing a tech manual with a lt of screenshots
& plots.
I've played around to find the perfect layout for my document but
I'm not fully
satisfied with what I have till now.

\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setuplayout [topspace=25mm,
bottomspace=50mm,
backspace=30mm,
leftmargin=23mm,
rightmargin=23mm]

The big problem I have is because of the many screenshots there's a
lot
of unused space in my document. Maybe some of you can give me a tip
for a better layout ...
