<td colspan="2" class="cmd">\startglobal...\stopglobal<!--
--></td>
</tr>
</table>

== 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>
