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
