Hi

I would like to typeset a formula as a figure, so that the formula
enters the numbering scheme of figures and that I gain the possibility
of adding a figure caption. An example were this would be practical is
when using ppchtex.
I've been googling but having trouble finding hints on how to make
such a construction.
Is it possible at all?

Thanks, Peter

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

Dear Idris, Aditya, and Wolfgang,

Thank you for the replies.

Removing \start-stop formula and using \vcenter worked well.
However, adding $\displaystyle ...$ gave the strange output. The  
location of the captions are not under the matrix. It looks like that  
there are four columns, "matrix cap matrix cap".

I have one more question.

Is it possible to display three figures in a triangular shape as  
following?

				<  figure 1 >

			< figure 2>   <figure 3>

I tried to use \srartcombination[3*2] ... using a dummy blank figure.  
But because of the figure 1, there is a wide blank spaces between two  
figures.

Thank you so much.

Best regards,

Dalyoung
