Hello,

I have a bunch of figures of the same dimension 3.5x3.5.
On each page in a document, I'd like to place a pair of them \ so that
-- the figures are exactly  at the same location on each page
-- there is a specific horizontal gap between the figures
-- they are vertically aligned.

In short, I'd be happy if I could force TeX to put the left upper corner
of a figure at a specific location on the page.

All figures have the same dimension. I tried to improve on

\placefigure
        [nonumber,fit]
        [fig:page7]
        {Pair No 7}
        \framed{
                \startcombination[2*1]
                        {\externalfigure[left7][width=3.5in]}{}
                        {\externalfigure[right7][width=3.5in]}{}
                \stopcombination
        }

but I have no clue how to make the whitespace between the figures
to be say exactly .2 in, nor how to force a position of the float into
the center of the page.

Details.pdf contains lots of suggestions for placements, and I have
the suspicion that I just haven't found it there yet -- maybe somebody here
can help me?

I leave it to you to figure out how to reach that much abstraction -)

\startbuffer

\startcombination[double][2*1]
  {\externalfigure[left7][double][height=1in]}  {}
  {\externalfigure[right7][double]} {}
\stopcombination

\stopbuffer

\placedoublefigure[][fig:page7]{Pair No 7}{\getbuffer}

test

\stoptext
