How does one get even more control. For example, if I want a
particular table to have 2 inches of space from the left margin, or if
I want to center my figures.
see details.pdf
This is the best I can come up with. This seems like a complete
hack. For one thing, the caption does not move with the graphic.
\placefigure

voffset=1in]{\externalfigure[thoreau ref]}}

[NTG-context] how to control placement of floats
The manual and others have given good advice on how to do the most basic placment of floats, such as forcing it onto a new page. How does one get even more control.

For example, if I want a particular table to have 2 inches of space from the left margin, or if I want to center my figures. see details.pdf I couldn't figure out how to do what I want from this document, which is, very detailed. (Hence: details.pdf!) Let me ask more specific questions: 1. In order to control the placement of a float better, do I need to use \setupfloat[figure] \setupfloat[table] % etc ? 2. I want to place a table or a figure on a page. I want to move it, say, 10 cm from the left margin. How do I do this? 3. I want to create extra white space before and after the float. How do I do this? 4. Sometimes I want the text to flow around the float, and sometimes I don't. How do I do this?
