Placement of captions in a combination of figures

Hello, I need to place several figures into a combination. However the captions of the individual figures appear on the right side, where I would prefer them to appear at the bottom. How to change the location of these captions? \starttext \startplacefigure [location=middle, title=, number=] \startcombination[2*2] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]{a}} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]{b}} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]{c}} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]{d}} \stopcombination \stopplacefigure \stoptext Best Willi

You need separate arguments for the image and the caption: {\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]}{a} Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang and Hraban, Gosh, I know that! — In the meantime I used combinations for another article for the proceedings and it worked. Indeed I wondered why it did not work in the example… So I was driving on the autopilot when doing the combination in the latter instance… Thank you both! Best Willi

Hi Willi, combinations expect two objects per image, and it usually makes sense to use the precalculated "combination" size, i.e. {\externalfigure[dummy][combination]}{b} Hraban
