Dear List, it seems that the after key of the \setupcombinations-command is broken. I am not able to get zero space between the cells. I have attached a minimal example. Changing the after command does not have any effect at all. Mathias

Matthias, inbetween is the key, after is relative to the combination, not to the individual frames (or combined elements). BTW, A4 is the default. No need to set it up. In this sense, I think there is no need to set width and height in the layout. Unless I miss something, the paper size sets both dimensions. \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setupcombinations[distance=0mm, inbetween=] \starttext \startcombination[2*2]% {{\framed[width=.5\textwidth, height=.5\textheight]{1}}} {{\framed[width=.5\textwidth, height=.5\textheight]{2}}} {{\framed[width=.5\textwidth, height=.5\textheight]{3}}} {{\framed[width=.5\textwidth, height=.5\textheight]{4}}} \stopcombination \stoptext Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Matthias,

\setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setupcombinations[distance=0mm, inbetween=] \starttext \startcombination[2*2]% {{\framed[width=.5\textwidth, height=.5\textheight]{1}}} {{\framed[width=.5\textwidth, height=.5\textheight]{2}}} {{\framed[width=.5\textwidth, height=.5\textheight]{3}}} {{\framed[width=.5\textwidth, height=.5\textheight]{4}}} \stopcombination \stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Hi Pablo, thank you a lot! This was really helpful. Maybe the garden page should be altered then. If you have a look at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcombinations http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcombinations you get the impression that „after“ is the key I was looking for because the page says: Suppressing both the horizontal and vertical gap between cells: \setupcombinations[distance=0mm,after=] a 10mm horizontal and vertical gap between cells: \setupcombinations[distance=10mm,after={\blank[10mm]}] Best, and thanks again, Mathias

\setupcombinations[distance=0mm,after=]

* a 10mm horizontal and vertical gap between cells:

\setupcombinations[distance=10mm,after={\blank[10mm]}] Please, update the wiki, but first consider this:

\setupexternalfigures[location={local, default}] \setupcombination [distance=5em, inbetween={\blackrule[width=.5\textwidth, color=red, height=1em]}, after={\blackrule[width=.5\textwidth, color=green, height=5em]}] \starttext \placefigure [here] % figure placement [fig:combinations] % figure reference {An example of combination.} % figure caption {\startcombination[3*2] % contents of the figure: a combination % first row {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]}{a} % subfigure and subcaption {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]}{b} {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]}{c} % second row {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]}{d} {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]}{e} {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]}{f} \stopcombination} \stoptext Probably adding a sample similar to this makes sense.
