Description
A combination is a number of objects arranged in a matrix, with a caption below each object. (The captions may be empty.)
Examples
\setupexternalfigures[location={local, default}] \placefigure [here] % figure placement [fig:combinations] % figure reference {An example of \type{\startcombination...}.} % figure caption {\startcombination[3*2] % contents of the figure: a combination % first row {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]} {a} % subfigure and subcaption {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]} {b} {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]} {c} % second row {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]} {d} {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]} {e} {\externalfigure[cow][height=1cm]} {f} \stopcombination}
This MkIV example shows how to autolabel figures with
\useMPlibrary[dum] \definecombination[mycombi][alternative=label] \setuplabel[combination:mycombi][ text={Item }, numberconversion=character, stopper=!, ] 4 pics \startcombination[mycombi][2*2] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]} \stopcombination \blank[2*big] 2 more pics \startcombination[mycombi][nx=2,ny=1,continue=yes] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]} \stopcombination
Example for LMTX
On the mailinglist Hans answered on 14 may 2021 what you can do with combinations and how to add captions in in a different way:
\startplacefigure[location=here] \startcombination[distance=2mm,after=,nx=2,ny=1,location=middle] \startcontent \externalfigure[mill.png] [width=.4\textwidth] \stopcontent \startcaption pic 1 \stopcaption \startcontent \externalfigure[hacker.jpg][width=.4\textwidth] \stopcontent \startcaption pic 2 \stopcaption \stopcombination \stopplacefigure
Another example to align to grid properly -
\startlinecorrection \startcombination [nx=2,ny=1,continue=yes] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]} {} \stopcombination \stoplinecorrection
