Hi, here is a ugly fix for pack-com.mkiv to reduce the distance between the float content and caption. \unexpanded\def\pack_combinations_float_hack_b#1% - {\box\b_strc_floats_separate_caption} + {\hpack{\raise\dimexpr\strutht-1pt\relax\box\b_strc_floats_separate_caption}} Wolfgang Wolfgang Schuster schrieb am 26.01.19 um 20:15:
Hi Hans,
there is a big gap between the content and the caption of each float in a floatcombination environment.
%%%% begin example \useMPlibrary[dum]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[title={First graphic}] \externalfigure[one] \stopplacefigure
\startfloatcombination \startplacefigure[title={Second graphic}] \externalfigure[two] \stopplacefigure \stopfloatcombination
\stoptext %%%% end example
This is probably a result of the following two command from strc-flt.mkvi where you put the caption in a \vbox with a height of 1pt and flush it afterwards in \vtop which shifts the content down to the baseline. As a result of this a empty space was added at the top of the caption.
A simple fix for this is to raise the box with the caption when it is added to the combination.
%%%% begin strc-flt.mkvi \def\strc_floats_build_box_separate_make {\offinterlineskip \vpack to \onepoint{\box\b_strc_floats_content}\break \vpack to \onepoint{\box\b_strc_floats_caption}}
\def\strc_floats_build_box_separate_split#1% {\setbox\scratchbox\vbox{% \setbox\scratchbox\vpack{#1}% \unvbox\scratchbox\relax \setbox\scratchbox\lastbox %\doloop{% \unvbox\scratchbox \setbox\scratchbox\lastbox % \ifdim\ht\scratchbox=2\onepoint \unvbox\scratchbox \setbox\scratchbox\lastbox % \exitloop % \fi}% \splittopskip\zeropoint \global\setbox\b_strc_floats_separate_content\vsplit\scratchbox to \onepoint \global\setbox\b_strc_floats_separate_caption\vsplit\scratchbox to \onepoint \global\setbox\b_strc_floats_separate_content\vpack{\unvbox\b_strc_floats_separate_content\setbox0\lastbox\unvbox0}%
\global\setbox\b_strc_floats_separate_caption\tpack{\unvbox\b_strc_floats_separate_caption\setbox0\lastbox\unvbox0}%
}} %%%% end strc-flt.mkvi
