The normal alignment of figures is with the bottom of the figure on the baseline. You can control the vertical alignment with a few box commands but what you should use depends on the context, in tables I would use 2 while in running text 3 can be better. Which alignment you’re using is your choice. \useMPlibrary[dum] \defineexternalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=3cm] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext Default: \externalfigure[dummy] %1: \bottomrightbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\quad 1: \aligned[bottom,right]{\externalfigure[dummy]}\quad 2: \tbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\quad 3: \bbox{\externalfigure[dummy]} \stoptext Wolfgang Fabrice Couvreur schrieb am 26.08.18 um 10:50:

Hi Wolfgang, Thank you but is not it better that the top of the figure is on the baseline of the label ? Fabrice

@Mikael I meant : is the macro robust ?

Number them by hand (or replace the descriptions I used with enumerations).

The alignment of the graphics can be improved with the \tbox command, which raises the argument by the height of a strut.

Hello, In the table, how to have a. b. c. in each line instead of a. a. a ? Is the macro to place the figures on the baseline of the labels to be improved ? Thanks. Fabrice
