: Hi,
When placing figures side-by-side I usually use
\placefigure[force][label]{}{\startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[A]}{Some description of A} {\externalfigure[B]}{Some description of B} \stopcombination}
But this time I would like to get two separate figures with two separate titles:
[figure] [figure] Figure 1.1: Long description of A Figure 1.2: Long description of B
with those long descriptions being "justified" (they split in multiple line already), not centered.
What is the best way to achieve that?
Use the floatcombination environment.
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[location=nonumber] \startfloatcombination%[width=\textwidth,distance=0pt] \startplacefigure[title={Some description of A}] %\externalfigure[A][width=4cm] \framed[frame=off,offset=none,width=.5\textwidth]{\externalfigure[A][width=4cm]} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[title={Some description of B}] %\externalfigure[B][width=4cm] \framed[frame=off,offset=none,width=.5\textwidth]{\externalfigure[B][width=4cm]} \stopplacefigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure
\stoptext
Thank you, but there are some serious problems with the layout. I managed to find some very dirty workaround, so I can get the desired effect, but nonetheless: - titles are wider than the figure, so titles from left and right overlap; what I ended up doing was \framed[frame=off,offset=none,width=.2\textwidth]{\externalfigure[cow][width=.4\textwidth]} - titles are of different length (and have a different number of lines), so I need to manually add \crlf in one of the titles to achieve equal height and proper alignment; - width=... and distance=... are weird; once I set some width, distance only shifts the right figure outside of the page margin Mojca
