But >what I want is two figure. The normal double column mechanism tries to place a graphic, stores it when there is no place, and flushes it as soon as possible. The \startcolumns mechanism works well intermixed with the standard one column mode. In your case, esp for vertical chinese, use columnsets: \startcolumnset \placefigure[tblr:1]{}{} \placefigure[tblr:2]{}{} \input tufte \stopcolumnset This will place the floats on top of the first and second column; an alternative usage is: \placefigure[tblr]{}{} \placefigure[tbrl]{}{} Think of tb meaning flush from top to bottom, and lr to mean from left to right; so, there are quite some ways to place/flush a graphic. (also play with: \placefigure[fxtb:2*3] and [fxbt:1*18] which gives you absolute placement; big floats will span columns, so something: \definecolumnset[chinese][n=10] \startcolumnset[chinese] \placefigure{}{} \stopcolumnset should work ok Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
