RE: Figure combination

RE: Figure combination

[Woering, A.A.]

Following a posted suggestion I used the following. It feels like a workaround though.

\placefigure[]{xxx}
\bTABLE
\bTR 
	\bTD 
	\startcombination[1]
	{\externalfigure[xxx]}{(a)} 
	\stopcombination \eTD
	\bTD 
	\startcombination[1*2]
	{\externalfigure[xxx]}{(b)}
	{\externalfigure[xxx]}{(c)}
	\stopcombination
	\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
}

Recently I wanted to do somethng similar:

1111 2222
333333333

This is what I used:

\vbox{
\placegraphic[here]{} {
    \startcombination[2*1]
        {\externalfigure[crown0001]}{xxx}
        {\externalfigure[crown0002]}{xxx}
    \stopcombination}
\placegraphic[here]{} {
    \startcombination[1*1]
        {\externalfigure[crown0003]}{xxx}
    \stopcombination}
}

You might be able to do something similar with an \hbox.

There is also \placesidebyside and \placeontopofeachother, but I haven't
used them.

Using layers you can also do direct x-y positioning of your components:

\definelayer[frontispiece]
\defineoverlay[frontispiece][\composedlayer{frontispiece}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=frontispiece]
\setlayer[frontispiece][x=0in,y=0in]{\externalfigure[frontispiece]}

I have only one component here, but I believe you can repeat the
\setlayer with different x-y for the other components. (Sorry:
"frontispiece" is a label for three different things here: layer,
overlay, graphic).

I worked this out from examples in the mailing list archives. I don't
see it my docs yet, but I haven't downloaded docs for a while.

A trick I have used when faced with complicated graphic setups is to
create separate documents as little mini pages, create them as correctly
sized PDFs and then include the PDFs as graphics in the main document.

If I were a real ConTeXt users I suppose I would know how to use
metapost...

the suggesion about using tables was more aiming at :

\bTABLE[offset=0pt]
\bTR \bTD[nr=2,align=lohi] \externalfigure[cow] \eTD
      \bTD \externalfigure[cow] \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD \externalfigure[cow] \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE

so, spanning 2 rows

What about a table where the first column spans two rows? --> enattab.pdf

Figure combination

[Woering, A.A.]

In a document I am writing at the moment I would like to have one large image(1) on the right with two (2,3) detailed
images on the right as shown:


1111 222
1111 222
1111 333
1111 333

In LateX this was a matter of nesting minipages containing these figures. In ConTeXt I assumed nesting of 
combinations would be possible, but I am not able to get it working.
