Hello

I used \placefigure just for centering the figure. And even if I put \startcombination directly, won't it reserve blank space for empty subcaptions?

Actually, I found nice snipped that works like a charm for my needs:

\hbox to \hsize{ \externalfigure[serg1][width=3.5cm] \hss\externalfigure[serg2][width=3.5cm] \hss\externalfigure[serg4][width=3.5cm] \hss\externalfigure[serg3][width=3.5cm]}

...and no combinations needed! ))

Hello,

Another urgent problem:

how to get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions altogether?

When I use the following, I get too much wasted space after the illustration.

\placefigure [fit] {none} {\startcombination[4*1] {\externalfigure[serg1][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg2][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg3][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg4][width=4cm]} {} \stopcombination}

Best, Vyatcheslav

I'm not sure I understand your problem. If you don't want a caption and don't want the figure to float, why do you use \placefigure at all? Just remove the wrapper and put \startcombination etc. directly into your source file.

I don’t know if this is intended or a bug. Example: \starttext \placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[dummy]} \dorecurse{30}{blabla } \placefigure[here,none]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]} \dorecurse{30}{blabla } \stoptext Greetings Tom
