Hello, I have some problems with the way to put clipped images in ConTeXt documents; for what I can see the correct way to do it is via something like: \clip [width=6.3cm,height=10.5cm,hoffset=0.5cm,voffset=1cm] {\externalfigure[ciccione_03.pdf]} Now suppose that I wanted to put the above thing zoomed 200%; and here I have two problems: (a) I can't seem to find the proper number to pass on to scale= or factor= in the \externalfigure options (b) AFAICS I need to scale all the clipping parameters as well. Point (b) is particularly annoying; is there a way to "pre-clip" an image, without touching the original file? It should be possible to specify clipping area at inclusion time (LaTeX's graphicx package can do that ...), and therefore in a scale-independent way (this is especially important when the scale factor is something like "max" or "fit" or "broad"). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
