no, the content comes in two-some, so

\startcombination[2*1] % or 1*2
   {content} {caption}
   {content} {caption}
\stopcombination

when all captions are empty, they are ignored; btw, combinations have 
recently be extended with vertial and horizontal alignments; remind me to 
document that -)

Hi,

The solution works indeed. Thanks to all of you. There is a related  
refinement I'd like but don't know Context enough to bring by myself:

\starttext
This is a combination of 3 figures on two lines
\placefigure{none}
{
\midaligned{
	\startcombination[1*2]
		{\startcombination[2*1]
			{}{}
			{}{}
		\stopcombination}
		{\externalfigure[cow.jpg][width=some width]}{some blabla}
	\stopcombination	
	}
}

\stoptext

On the third figure: is there a mean to set the width of 'some blabla'  
equal to the width of the figure.

Best regards,
Nicolas

The others gave you a solution with nested combinations but it's also
possible to a normal table to combine your prictures.

\bTABLE[frame=off,align=middle]
  \bTR
    \bTD\externalfigure[cow.jpg][width=3cm]\eTD
    \bTD\externalfigure[cow.jpg][width=3cm]\eTD
  \eTR
  \bTR[nx=2]
    \bTD\externalfigure[cow.jpg][width=3cm]\eTD
  \eTR
\eTABLE

Hi,

It is unfortunate that 2*2 does not equal 3, but the solution given by  
Thomas works…

\starttext
This is a combination of 3 figures on two lines
\placefigure{none}
{
\midaligned{
	\startcombination[1*2]
		{\startcombination[2*1]
			{\externalfigure[cow.jpg][width=3cm]}{}
			{\externalfigure[cow.jpg][width=3cm]}{}
		\stopcombination}
		{\externalfigure[cow.jpg][width=3cm]}{}
	\stopcombination	
	}
}

\stoptext

Best regards: OK

Tested:

\starttext

\startcombination[1*2]
        \startcombination[2*1]
                {1}{(1)}
                {2}{(2)}
        \stopcombination
        {3}{(3)}
\stopcombination

\startcombination[2*1]
        \startcombination[2*1]
                {1}{(1)}
                {2}{(2)}
        \stopcombination
        {3}{(3)}
\stopcombination

\stoptext


The first appears to give a reasonable result,
but the second gives exactly the same as the first.
I do not believe that combinations can be recursive...

As long as 2*2~=3, this will not be possible. I would do (pseudo-code,  
untested)

\startcombination[1*2]
	\startcombination[2*1]
		<figure 1>
		<figure 2>
	\stopcombination
	<figure 3>
\stopcombination

Re: combination

[Alan BRASLAU]

I think in this case you might be better off placing the figures in a table.
I was thinking about posting a question about the nesting of combinations, say to arrange a row of two figures next to a stack of three figures, for example. This currently does not appear to work... Maybe other ConTeXt users might have some ideas?

Hello,

I searched the mailing archive but found nothing about my problem.

I have 3 figures to put into combination 2*2. The way it is handle it  
that the third figure is place below the first one, which is quite  
logical. I'd rather have it centered in the second row. Is there any  
mean to do this ? I didn't find a clue anywhere.

Thank you.

Nicolas
