[Tex/LaTex] Table caption above, figure caption below in ConTeXt

captionscontextfloatstables

My definition looks like this:

\setupcaptions[location=top]
\setupcaptions[way=bysection,prefixsegments=section,headstyle=\bf]

And placement of tables

\placetable[here][tab:table-results]{Results}{
....
}

and figures

\placefigure[force][fig:topview]{Top View}{\externalfigure[img/top.png][maxwidth=\textwidth]}

Now my question is how to elegantly use the \setupcaptions to align table caption above the table and figure caption below the image?

I found this answer for Latex but not for Context.

Half part intuition, half part RTFM and I am answering myself.

Definition that does the trick:

\setupcaptions[table][location=top]
\setupcaptions[figure][location=bottom]
\setupcaptions[way=bysection,prefixsegments=section,headstyle=\bf]

[Tex/LaTex] Renaming the label of figure just in some cases

You should provide an MWE in the future for the quickest help. The (at least) two ways of doing what you want, sort of:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

% what you are asking to do (rename "Figure" in caption to "Table"):
\renewcommand{\figurename}{Table}

\begin{figure}
  \caption{This is my table}
  <picture of table>
\end{figure}
% The problem with this though, is that the number (e.g. "Table #: ...") will be
% counted as a figure still, so you really shouldn't do it this way.

% anyhow, to revert back to the usual "Figure" nomenclature:
\renewcommand{\figurename}{Figure}

% But, actually, you should just call it a table:
\begin{table}
  \caption{This is my table}
  <picture of table>
\end{table}

\end{document}

Note the problem with the incorrect "table" number you'd get (well, it's technically correct because the number would be the count of figure environments, which you'd still be doing even if you rename the caption).

You should just place your image inside a table environment, as I show at the bottom of the example.

[Tex/LaTex] Formatting table and figure number and title separately

What's wrong with two captions in your figure environment? (Not a rhetorical question — if that's the wrong thing to do, I'd like to know.)

EDITED to uppercase the caption label.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}

\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{upper}{\MakeUppercase{#1}~#2}
\captionsetup{labelformat=upper}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \caption{}
  \includegraphics[width=.80\textwidth]{example.png}
  \caption*{The first figure}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \caption{}
  \includegraphics[width=.80\textwidth]{example.png}
  \caption*{The second figure}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
