[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 657 bytes --]
I am trying to place two tables side-by-side one another with equal spacing
between the margin and each table and between tables. That is, I would like
the layout to be like
--- A --- B ---
where A and B are tables and --- represents an equal amount of spacing on
the left of table A, between tables A and B, and on the right of table B.
At this point, I've been able to place A and B immediately beside one
another using \startcombination[2*1] ... \stopcombination, but this doesn't
give me the horizontal spacing between the tables that I would like.
I would appreciate any help in getting the layout that I am looking for.
Thanks in advance,
Troy

have you tried the 'inbetween' or 'distance' parameter from
\setupcombinations?

Well what I would like would be for the following to work
\setupcombinations[before={\hfill},inbetween={\hfill},after={\hfill}]
but it doesn't do what I would like for it to do.

I looked into the ConTeXt manual (p229[259]) and 'distance' is used for
the horizontal distance between objects.
You can try '\hss' for the vertical distance (imo less problematic than
\hfill). If it all fails, do it yourself. Measure the two table widths
with boxes and calculate the offset.

before and after go on the top and the bottom of the combination block,
inbetween goes between the figure/table and the caption.
One possibility to simplify measurement is to abuse figurecollections
(Please wikify).
\startbuffer[table:1]
\startTABLE
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC \NR
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC \NR
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC \NR
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC \NR
\stopTABLE
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[table:2]
\startTABLE
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR

\stopTABLE

% Ideally, we should be able to place the figure definitions inside the

\definecombination[sidebyside]

@Hans: Can we also have totalheight and totalwidth as parameters of figure
combinations (is relatively easy to implement)?
