Subject: Nested floatcombinations
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 11:13:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <C22D9422-9D2E-4133-AEDB-56DB1C65A4D8@nicholware.co.uk> (raw)
Based on answers to previous questions the easiest way to arrange figures on a page in a simple tabular arrangement is to use \startfloatcombination etc. and indeed works well
I wanted to get a single tall figure on the left and two on the right above one another. I tried nesting i.e.
\setupexternalfigures[location={default}]
\definefloat[floatA][floatAs]
\definefloat[floatB][floatBs]
\setupcaption[floatA][number=yes,location=top]
\setupcaption[floatB][number=no]
\starttext
\startplacefloatA[title={Using figures in nested float combinations}]
\startfloatcombination[nx=2,ny=1]
\startplacefigure[title={left two rows}]
\externalfigure[mill][height=4in]
\stopplacefigure
\startplacefloatB
\startfloatcombination[nx=1,ny=2]
\startplacefigure[title={right top}]
\externalfigure[spider][height=1.5in]
\stopplacefigure
\startplacefigure[title={right bot}]
\externalfigure[cow][height=1.5in]
\stopplacefigure
\stopfloatcombination
\stopplacefloatB
\stopfloatcombination
\stopplacefloatA
\stoptext
This just gave the three figures in a sort of single column down the page.
Are nested floatcombinations not allowed or have I done it wrong?
