Re: [NTG-context] Combining figures

9 May 2009

      i think, you just forgot the second pair of curly brackets({}):

{\externalfigure[Ex6a]}{}
{\externalfigure[Ex6b]}{}

for me (mac, context 2009.04.10 18:02 MKII) your code works fine like  
this, the two side by side.

Hi All,
I am working on a text that contains many combined figures, some  
side by
side, ?some arranged vertically. I use, following ?ConTeXt, an  
excursion?,
\startcombination[1*2] and \startcombination[2*1] respectively.  
The first
one works, the second doesn?t, that is, it also places the figures  
one above
the other. It happens both with the ?MacTeX?-version of ConTeXt  
and with the
minimals.
What can I do to place two figures side by side with a single

Both variants work for me.
\starttext
\placefigure{some title}
{\startcombination[1*2]
       {\framed[width=5cm]{}}{}
       {\framed[width=5cm]{}}{}
\stopcombination}
\placefigure{some title}
{\startcombination[2*1]
       {\framed[width=5cm]{}}{}
       {\framed[width=5cm]{}}{}
\stopcombination}
\stoptext

For me normally \startcombination[2*1] .. works. MKII; Side by side
with a single caption.
Please tell me if I didnt understand your problem.

Thanks to Mojca and Tom,
With Mojca’s commands, {\framed[width=5cm]{}}{}, it works for me  
too. But I do not want the figures framed. When I replace that piece  
with {\externalfigure[NameofFigure]}, the figures are placed  
vertically, both with [2*1] and with [1*2].
I have uploaded a folder with a small testfile, which on my Mac  
shows this behaviour, as you can see in the pdf. (For convenience I  
have entered the two possibilities in the testfile, one of them  
commented out.) It can be downloaded from http://web.me.com/blackstone.robert/filechute/Combining_Figures.zip 
.
Maybe there are some other errors in the file that I do not know of.
Thanks for the attention.
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
