Hi,
When placing figures side-by-side I usually use
\placefigure[force][label]{}{\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[A]}{Some description of A}
{\externalfigure[B]}{Some description of B}
\stopcombination}
But this time I would like to get two separate figures with two separate titles:
[figure] [figure]
Figure 1.1: Long description of A Figure 1.2: Long description of B
with those long descriptions being "justified" (they split in multiple
line already), not centered.
What is the best way to achieve that?
Thank you,
Mojca

I managed to find some very dirty workaround, so I can get the desired effect, but nonetheless: - titles are wider than the figure, so titles from left and right overlap; what I ended up doing was \framed[frame=off,offset=none,width=.2\textwidth]{\externalfigure[cow][width=.4\textwidth]} - titles are of different length (and have a different number of lines), so I need to manually add \crlf in one of the titles to achieve equal height and proper alignment; - width=... and distance=... are weird; once I set some width, distance only shifts the right figure outside of the page margin Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

My figures are of the same height, so "location=top" is OK. (Can one combine "location=top" with "[3*1]"?) Even though a much nicer option would be to top-align the captions and vertically center the images (or provide a location= option separately for the image). The workaround to use \framed around the image probably works though ...
