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

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

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

Is there anything wrong with the mailing list or am I just missing something in the config? I just wrote a mail, and only afterwards I’ve seen on the mail archive that the subject/prob was already ok. It seems that I can’t receive the actual mails in my inbox, only after an indeterminable delay they are delivered. I dont receive either my own mails (yes, the box in the config is checked). I’m receiving the mails via gmail, the client program is the standard AppleMail-program. Does anybody have similar issues? Thanks Thomas On May 9, 2009, at 10:49 , Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Hi Thomas, I use Gmail and Mail.app on a Mac too, and have been puzzled like you: Gmail orders the messages as "conversations" and when you send a message with Gmail, when it is sent back to you through the mailing list, then Gmail does not deliver again a copy to you… Indeed it assumes that you are already aware of it :-) One solution (which I use) for being certain that your message has been received by the mailing list, is to configure your settings at http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/options/ntg-context/ so that you receive a confirmation message whenevr you send a message to the list. Best regards: OK

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. Greets On May 9, 2009, at 10:19 , Robert Blackstone wrote:
