Hi,
adding 'force' ([here,force]) should help 'here'. (sorry for the pun)

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Float placement
I'm trying to typeset a book. It has two columns, and some floating
diagrams. My problem is that the floats aren't going where I want
them to and I can't work out how to fix it. My input source looks
something like:
\startcolumnset[foo]
\subject{Blah}
\placefigure[here]{First diagram}
{\externalfigure[diagram1.jpg][width=2.3in]}
\placefigure[here]{Second diagram}
{\externalfigure[diagram2.jpg][width=2.3in]}
\placefigure[here]{Third diagram}
{\externalfigure[diagram3.jpg][width=2.3in]}
What I expect to get out is a page something like this (excuse the
ASCII graphics):
+-+
| |
| Blah |
| |
| |
| |
| +--+ |
| | | |
| | | |
| +--+ | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| +--+ | | |
| First diagram | | |
| +--+ |
| Third diagram |
| |
| |
| |
| +--+ |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| +--+ |
| Second diagram|
| |
| |
| |
| |
+-+
What I'm actually getting out is this:
+-+
| |
| Blah +--+ |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| +--+ |
| Second diagram |
| |
| +--+ +--+ |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| +--+ | | |
| First diagram | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| +--+ |
| Third diagram |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
+-+
Even though there is sufficient space in the first
column, the second float is always being moved up
to the top of the second column. I've tried pretty
much every combination of here, force and always
as the location keyword for the \placefloat, but
it doesn't make any difference.
Any idea what I can do to get the placement I
want? The deadline for going to press is rapidly
approaching and I'm getting a little concerned!
Thanks,
Tet

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] float placement riddle
Please can someone explain why the column before the floating figure is empty?
I thought that the figure would float through the text to the first location
with sufficient space. That appears not te be the case: the input behind the
figure does not typeset before it although there is ample space for the text
that now follows the picture.
The code is roughly:
\setupcolumns[n=2]
\startcolumns
\placefigure[][figuur:zw]{Street.}
{\externalfigure[zw][width=0.8\textwidth]}
\par
\stopcolumns
How to get
