I think I tried everything but didn't get it to work. For the moment I use: \def\LPscale{0.6315789} % downscale the image \def\LPkscale{632} % doesn't work: \def\LPkscale{\numexpr1000\LPscale\relax}
Missed this thread so far, but how about this? \edef\LPkscale{\the\numexpr1000\LPscale\relax}
Thank you. That doesn't run on an error, but scales way too much. With \def\LPscale{0.6315789} the command should have the same effect as \def\LPkscale{632} But \edef\LPkscale{\the\numexpr1000\LPscale\relax} seems to scale about 100 times too much. I simply(?!?) want to multiply some floating point value with 1000 to set the "scale" parameter of \externalfigure. Why ist this so difficult? Is there a book or tutorial on TeX as a programming language somewhere? Greetlings from Lake Constance!
