== Description ==
By design, \useexternalfigure works only in local scope. In order to globally declare a figure, one has to wrap it into a \startglobal environment, thereby rendering it accessible outside the current group. [1]
== Example ==
<texcode>
\starttext
{
\startglobal
\useexternalfigure[kuh][cow.pdf]
\stopglobal
\placefigure[here]{first}{\externalfigure[kuh]}
}
\placefigure[here]{second}{\externalfigure[kuh]}
\stoptext
</texcode>
