All, In my figure library, I had: <figure> <file>section5figs-mpgraph.6</file> <label>sec5scaling5 </label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> In my source, I had: \startbuffer[table] \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[column][each][align={middle,lohi}] \setupTABLE[row][first][topframe=on,bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE[column][first][leftframe=on] \setupTABLE[column][2][leftframe=on] \setupTABLE[column][last][leftframe=on,rightframe=on] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD $x$ \eTD \bTD $y=f((1/2)x)$ \eTD \bTD $(x,f((1/2)x))$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $-4$ \eTD \bTD $0$ \eTD \bTD $(-4,0)$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $-2$ \eTD \bTD $2$ \eTD \bTD $(-2,2)$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $0$ \eTD \bTD $0$ \eTD \bTD $(0,0)$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $2$ \eTD \bTD $-2$ \eTD \bTD $(2,-2)$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $4$ \eTD \bTD $0$ \eTD \bTD $(4,0)$ \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer \startbuffer[figure] \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[sec5scaling5]}{(a)} {\getbuffer[table]}{(b)} \stopcombination \stopbuffer \placefigure [][fig:scaling5] {The points in the table are points on the graph of $y=f((1/2)x)$.} {\getbuffer[figure]} I got messages that the figure sec5scaling5 could not be found. Whew! Long time trying to figure out what was wrong. Checked the usual dumb things I do, but finally, I changed: <figure> <file>section5figs-mpgraph.6</file> <label>sec5scaling5 </label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> to: <figure> <file>section5figs-mpgraph.6</file> <label>sec5scaling5</label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> See how I closed up the space? Figure now found!
