=46rom the beginner's manual, I created the following:

\starttext

\useexternalfigure
  [Photo][hass03g]
  [width=3D.4\textwidth]
\useexternalfigure
  [Graphic][gracht]
  [width=3D.4\textwidth]
\placefigure
  [here,force]
  [fig:canal]
  {The Hasselt Canals.}
  \startcombination[2*1]
  {\externalfigure[Photo]}   {a bitmap picture}
  {\externalfigure[Graphic]} {a vector graphic}
  \stopcombinatie

\stoptext
