Thank you, but there are some serious problems with the layout. I managed to find some very dirty workaround, so I can get the desired effect, but nonetheless: - titles are wider than the figure, so titles from left and right overlap; what I ended up doing was \framed[frame=off,offset=none,width=.2\textwidth]{\externalfigure[cow][width=.4\textwidth]} - titles are of different length (and have a different number of lines), so I need to manually add \crlf in one of the titles to achieve equal height and proper alignment; - width=... and distance=... are weird; once I set some width, distance only shifts the right figure outside of the page margin Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
