figures: side by side and/or one above the other
Hello, I'm using context for an document with many figures. In some cases I have figures that should appear side by side and/or one above the other – but without combining them (\startcombination... \stopcombination). This I want to avoid because I'd like to give them a plain caption (like non-combined images) and because I would not like putting not directly related figures in a combination. In addition, when placed [left], combinations somehow center all sub-captions, though for single images they are left-aligned. (see http://pastebin.com/tZiNuekZ) Here is what I tried (and what went wron on the way) A) one above the other – so that I have the images on the left side of the page, while the text is on the right. I tried to archive this using the attribute [left]. The text floats aside of the one bottom image (someimage2), but not aside the one above it (someimage1). This code produces a working example: \starttext \placefigure [left] {caption} {\externalfigure[someimage1][width=0.5\textwidth]} \placefigure [left][fig:newton] {caption} {\externalfigure[someimage2][width=0.5\textwidth]} \input tufte \stoptext B) side by side I tried to work with columns here, but i was not successful. The figures often went not together and when a setup worked, the text did not continue to flow after the images but was starting on the next page. I hope there is a more robust solution out there. I would be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction for solving these issues. Regards, Jan
