It all depends on it being floats or not (floatign indeed). One option is to package a set of floats in a bTABLE .. eTABLE and put a..z subcaptions under it that way and then have the whole as a float
Well, I actually don't need floats, because each image has a fixed position. However the problem is to get captions properly formatted and numbered. Again, in LaTeX it would be easy to output captions separately from the corresponding images, but I haven't found how to do that in ConTeXt. That's what causes me to use floats (and pack them into floatcombinations if necessary).
anyway ... you have more chance onan answer if you provide small examples
My code currently looks like the following: \defineparagraphs[DoubleL][n=2] \starttext \centerline{\rotate[rotation=90]{ \startDoubleL \placefigure[force] {My first caption} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=3in]} \nextDoubleL \placefigure[force] {My second caption} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]} \placefigure[force] {My third caption} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]} \stopDoubleL }} \stoptext As I have explained, this works, but it would prefer to use a floatcombination syntax to describe this type of layout just like I would use it for two images placed side-by-side. I. e. it would be nice if ConTeXt supported something like the following: \startfloatcombination[2*1] \placefigure[force] {My first caption} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=3in]} \startfloatcombination[1*2] \placefigure[force] {My second caption} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]} \placefigure[force] {My third caption} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]} \stopfloatcombination \stopfloatcombination Another small problem is that combinations and floatcombinations, unlike single floats, have no 'rotation' parameter, so that I have to embed them into a rotation command. This seems just a bit inconsistent. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov <anagnost at yandex dot ru> Moscow State University Faculty of History
