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
I see, I did not realize such simple usage of \clip (without options). That do exactly what was thinking about. One character of typing difference between: \clip{\externalfigure{test}} and \externalfigure[clip]{test} is not crutial:) So sorry for noise. But as far as I know, \clip works only with left|top,width|height params. Could right|bottom be added (assuming at least one from left-width-right and top-height-bottom is missing - if not width|height is ignored)? Or there is again some secret that I missed? Vit
