Re: typesetting a formula as a figure

[Jeong Dalyoung <haksan@mac.com>]

Dear Idris,

I have used buffers and \plcadefigures to display formula and figure  
together. Here is my short sample file.

\startbuffer[one]
\startformula \startmatrix
\NC \NC e_1 \NC e_2 \NC e_3 \NC e_5 \NC e_5 \NR
\NC  	u \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NR
\NC  v \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NR
\NC	w \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NR
\NC	x \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NR
\NC	y \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NR
\stopmatrix \stopformula
\stopbuffer

\starttext

\placefigure[here][fig:test]{Test of buffers}
{\startcombination[2*2]
{\externalfigure[7starmagic1][width=.25\makeupwidth]}{G}
{\externalfigure[one.tmp]}{AA}
{\externalfigure[one.tmp]}{BB}
{\externalfigure[one.tmp]}{CC}
\stopcombination}

\stoptext

Then, I got a strange output(fig 1: wide blank spaces between  
columns). If I use \getbuffer instead of \externalfigure, I got  
somewhat proper output(fig 2), but the figure is located much higher  
than the matrix(horizontal alignment is bad).

What is wrong in my sample? Is there any option for \startcombination?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

Dalyoung

fig 1:

	figure  												matrix 1
	figure  												matrix 1
	figure  												matrix 1
	figure  												matrix 1
			<....... wide ........... blank ......... space..........>
	matrix 2												matrix 3
	matrix 2 												matrix 3
	matrix 2												matrix 3
	matrix 2  												matrix 3

fig 2:

					figure
					figure
					figure
					figure              	matrix 1
					figure            	matrix 1
								matrix 1
								matrix 1

					matrix 2		matrix 3
					matrix 2		matrix 3
					matrix 2		matrix 3
					matrix 2		matrix 3
