Re: [NTG-context] How to use .eps figure in ConTeXt?

Hi,

texexec's --pdf switch uses pdfetex to generate a pdf document directly, and pdftex does not accept images in eps format, only .pdf, .jpg and .png are supported.

The error message is slightly misleading, because it actually means:

"figures: xx.eps.pdf has zero dimensions"

If you want to use your images in pdf, either convert them from eps to pdf before calling texexec, or use the texexec => dvips => ps2pdf route to create the pdf document (using ghostscript instead of pdftex).

Side note: it is generally better to use a 'bare' \externalfigure[xx] instead of giving an explicit extension. That way, assuming you have xx.eps and xx.pdf, both dvi and pdf trajects would work without the need for source changes.

Greetings, Taco
