Vertical alignment in combinations?

Vertical alignment in combinations?

[Mari Voipio]

Today I feel like a total ConTeXt dummy...

The problem: I have 3*1 combination where the end graphics are the
same size, but the middle graphic is much shorter. With a standard
\startcombination\stopcombination I can easily get all three
side-by-side, but they are bottom-aligned while I'd need them
middle-aligned. I thought I once had a solution to this, but can't
find it - and, for once, the garden doesn't seem to be able to help.

Is there a setting I can use to fix the vertical alignment? Or should
I give up with combinations and go for a natural table instead? Or do
something totally else?


Thanks,

Mari

As long as it's only today you're much better off than me ;)

How about this:

\useMPlibrary [dum]
\setupcombinations [location=middle]
\starttext

\startcombination[3*1]
  \startcontent \externalfigure                \stopcontent
  \startcaption Foo                            \stopcaption
  \startcontent \externalfigure[.][height=2cm] \stopcontent
  \startcaption Bar                            \stopcaption
  \startcontent \externalfigure                \stopcontent
  \startcaption FooBar                         \stopcaption
\stopcombination

\stoptext
