Boxed text on the same line as a figure

Boxed text on the same line as a figure

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

Please, help me with following. 

I have a figure included as
\externalfigure[lily02.png]

spanning an half of the text width. I want place some additional text in a box RIGHT to it. This box will not overlap with the figure. The rest of text flows as usual, that is before and after the image.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Vyatcheslav

Dummy question about \externalfigure

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

Sorry for dummy question, but why there is always no blank line BEFORE, but  there exists a blank line AFTER the \externalfigure?
Even leaving a blank paragraph before and omitting it after the figure doesn't change anything. :( 

What is I want the opposite -- a blank line before and tight spacing after?

Best,
Vyatcheslav

Try something along these lines:

\startcombination
\framed{\externalfigure[lily02][width=.5\textwidth]}{YOUR_CAPTION}
\framed{YOUR_TEXT}{} % watch the empty braces at the end, they're
\stopcombination     % necessary!

In order to know more, read chapter 11.6 and 12.3 of cont-eni.pdf.

Hi Vyatcheslav,

there is currently no option AFAIK to control the space before a figure
but you can define your own command to include your figures. A simple
one is:

\def\myfigure
  {\blank
   \dodoubleempty\externalfigure}

and you it in the following way:

\myfigure[test-1]

\myfigure[test-2][width=3cm]

The blank line is more a problem with the low level beviour of TeX as
seen in my next example.

\showgrid

\starttext

text

\ruledvbox to 2cm{\hsize8cm Text}

text

\stoptext

It has something to do with the lineheight of text.
