Please see the figure generated by the following minimal example. Due
to the dimensions chosen in the figure, the figure is wider than the
text width. Is there an option in \placefigure or another command that
can help to make this figure smaller (without changing the code of the
original figure)?
Thank you.
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setuplayout[leftedge=0in,leftmargin=1in,leftmargindistance=0in,rightmargin=1in,rightmargindistance=0in,rightedge=0in,leftedgedistance=0in,rightedgedistance=0in,topspace=0.5in,width=6.5in,height=10in]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{firstFig}
numeric u;
u:=1in;
draw (0,0)--(4u,0) withpen pencircle scaled 2pt withcolor red;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\startuseMPgraphic{secondFig}
numeric u;
u:=1in;
draw (0,0)--(4u,0) withpen pencircle scaled 2pt withcolor blue;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\placefigure[here]{Two figures next to each other}
\startcombination[2*1]
{\useMPgraphic{firstFig}}{(a)}
{\useMPgraphic{secondFig}}{(b)}
\stopcombination
It can be seen that due to the dimensions in the figure, the figure is
wider than the text. Is there a way to make the figure as wide as the
text by setting some option of "\placefigure".
\stoptext

I did not know where exactly to put the width command. Your solution works great.
