get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions

get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

Another urgent problem:

how to get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions altogether?

When I use the following, I get too much wasted space after the 
illustration.

\placefigure
[fit]
{none}
{\startcombination[4*1]
     {\externalfigure[serg1][width=4cm]} {}
     {\externalfigure[serg2][width=4cm]} {}
     {\externalfigure[serg3][width=4cm]} {}
     {\externalfigure[serg4][width=4cm]} {}
\stopcombination}

Best,
Vyatcheslav

I'm not sure I understand your problem. If you don't want a caption  
and don't want the figure to float, why do you use \placefigure at  
all? Just remove the wrapper and put \startcombination etc. directly  
into your source file.

pay also attention to the syntax
(1) "\placefigure[...]{none}"
vs.
  (2) "\placefigure[...,none]{}"

In MkII the two delivered the same output, in MkIV variant (1) will  
reserve some kind of space for the non-existant caption.
I don’t know if this is intended or a bug.

Example:

\starttext
\placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[dummy]}
\dorecurse{30}{blabla }

\placefigure[here,none]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]}
\dorecurse{30}{blabla }
\stoptext

Hello

I used \placefigure just for centering the figure. And even if I put 
\startcombination directly, won't it reserve blank space for empty 
subcaptions?

Actually, I found nice snipped that works like a charm for my needs:

\hbox to \hsize{
\externalfigure[serg1][width=3.5cm]
\hss\externalfigure[serg2][width=3.5cm]
\hss\externalfigure[serg4][width=3.5cm]
\hss\externalfigure[serg3][width=3.5cm]}

...and no combinations needed! ))
