Hello, I would like to clip an external eps-figure as LaTeX does with the clip option.
Please consider the attachment as an example for en eps with white border and the following LaTeX and ConTeXt code:
\starttext % no clipping possible here bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
\externalfigure[test-img][width=0.5\textwidth]
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \stoptext
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} % here the white border is clipped away bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
\includegraphics[clip,width=0.5\textwidth]{test-img}
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \end{document}
Or is there already such (undocumented) feature?
\clip[nx=10,ny=20,x=2,y=4]{}
and alike (grep for clip)

Peter was asking for something different, I believe.
\clip do the thing well but you have to measure a bb somewhere, e.g. in GhostView. Since \externalfigure have to know bb then an option 'clip' can do that without manual measuring. There might be even en extension: apart from 'clip' option there could also be 'bb=10 20 100 200' option for overwritting original boundingbox. Clipping a figures would be a bit more strightforward.
i dunno what the intended effect is but here's an example \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{test} draw fullcircle scaled 4cm withpen pencircle scaled 1cm ; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox fullcircle scaled 4cm ; \stopuseMPgraphic \ruledhbox{\useMPgraphic{test}} \vskip3cm \ruledhbox{\clip{\useMPgraphic{test}}} \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
