logical name of the figure. This is optional <strong>an</strong>d used when one figure appears more th<strong>an</strong><br />

once in your document.<br />

The second pair contains the file name (without extension). The third pair leaves room<br />

for filetype definition <strong>an</strong>d some set up parameters. In well structured documents you<br />

would type \useexternalfigure in the set up area of your input file.<br />

\startcombination[...] ... \stopcombination<br />

The \startcombination · · · \stopcombination pair is used for combining two pictures<br />

in one figure. You c<strong>an</strong> type the number of pictures within the bracket pair. If you w<strong>an</strong>t<br />
