combiation trickery again now with attachement - sorry

Hi,

in the attachment is an example file which describes best what i want do. The method with \offset and \clip to place the figures where i want is really brutal force i think.  Especially fiddling around with dimension to get the "right fit“ is tedious. Is there a better solution to do such a start/stopcombination?
Floatplacing is also influenced by the offset command but i compensated this with *hang - nevertheless all in all i think no good solution. Please help.

best regards
Bernhard

yeah - thanks. Really nice. This gives me the motivation to read The TeXbook.

Hi,

that is indeed trickery. Though I did not try it, possibly using a  
layer where the pictures and the captions are arranged could also be  
used. The advantage of a layer would be, that it contains all the  
pics and one would be able to move it as a hole to the spot intended.
