Dear Christoph, I don’t know how to put figures horizontally using “\startfloatcombination”. Is there any reason to use “\startfloatcombination”? I usually use the following code when I need to display the figures. It is displayed horizontally and center aligned nicely. \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \placefigure{}{ \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[cow.pdf]}{} {\externalfigure[cow.pdf]}{} \stopcombination} \stoptext Best regards, Dalyoung
