[NTG-context] Placement of captions in a combination of figures

[Willi Egger]

Hello,

I need to place several figures into a combination. However the captions of the individual figures appear on the right side, where I would prefer them to appear at the bottom.

How to change the location of these captions?

\starttext

\startplacefigure
  [location=middle,
	 title=,
   number=]
	 \startcombination[2*2]
	   {\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]{a}}
           {\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]{b}}
           {\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]{c}}
           {\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]{d}}
	\stopcombination
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext

Best
Willi

You need separate arguments for the image and the caption:

{\externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth]}{a}

Hi Willi,
combinations expect two objects per image, and it usually makes sense to 
use the precalculated "combination" size, i.e.
{\externalfigure[dummy][combination]}{b}
