This works well, but what I'd like to do is choose a fixed size frame for each PDF and have ConTeXt fill the frame in the same way as these CSS commands:
object-fit : cover; object-position : top left; overflow : hidden;
Many thanks -- although I don't see the effect I'm trying to get. In the code below the cow picture should fill the three frames at three different scales with no white bars between the frame and the externalfigure frame:
\setupexternalfigures[location={default}]
\starttext
\framed [offset=overlay,width=10cm,height=2cm] {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,factor=max]}
\framed [offset=overlay,width=4cm,height=8cm] {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,factor=max]}
\framed [offset=overlay,width=6cm,height=6cm] {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,factor=max]}
\stoptext
We already have a low level repeater so I've added a low level filler. It will be in the next beta upload (probably not today). \setupexternalfigures[location={default}] \starttext \framed[offset=overlay,width=6cm,height=3cm]{\backgroundimage {1}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow][width=1cm]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=6cm,height=3cm]{\backgroundimage {2}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow][width=1cm]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=6cm,height=3cm]{\backgroundimage {3}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow][width=1cm]}} \page \framed[offset=overlay,width=4cm,height=2cm]{\backgroundimagefill{1}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=4cm,height=2cm]{\backgroundimagefill{2}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=4cm,height=2cm]{\backgroundimagefill{3}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow]}} \page \framed[offset=overlay,width=2cm,height=4cm]{\backgroundimagefill{1}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=2cm,height=4cm]{\backgroundimagefill{2}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=2cm,height=4cm]{\backgroundimagefill{3}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[cow]}} \page \framed[offset=overlay,width=4cm,height=2cm]{\backgroundimagefill{1}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[mill]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=4cm,height=2cm]{\backgroundimagefill{2}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[mill]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=4cm,height=2cm]{\backgroundimagefill{3}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[mill]}} \page \framed[offset=overlay,width=2cm,height=4cm]{\backgroundimagefill{1}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[mill]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=2cm,height=4cm]{\backgroundimagefill{2}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[mill]}} \blank \framed[offset=overlay,width=2cm,height=4cm]{\backgroundimagefill{3}{\hsize}{\vsize}{\externalfigure[mill]}} \stoptext
