Thanks to Mojca and Tom,
With Mojca’s commands, {\framed[width=5cm]{}}{}, it works for me too. But I
do not want the figures framed. When I replace that piece with
{\externalfigure[NameofFigure]}, the figures are placed vertically, both
with [2*1] and with [1*2].
I have uploaded a folder with a small testfile, which on my Mac shows this
behaviour, as you can see in the pdf. (For convenience I have entered the
two possibilities in the testfile, one of them commented out.) It can be
downloaded from
http://web.me.com/blackstone.robert/filechute/Combining_Figures.zip.
Maybe there are some other errors in the file that I do not know of.
Thanks for the attention.
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
