Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\setuplayout[page] \starttext \clip[hoffset=5mm, voffset=5mm, width=15mm, height=15mm] {\externalfigure[xml-mkiv.pdf]} \stopnotmode \stoptext
Using PDF.js (from current Firefox), xpdf, Evince, mupdf-gl, the viewer is able to find "dealing", altough it cannot be displayed.
Okular and Sumatra (with Wine in Linux) are not able to find "dealing".
Is there any way to have a hard clipping in ConTeXt?
I mean, that only the contents of the clipped section is added to the resulting PDF document?
one has to render a document (page stream) in order to wee what end up where .. a viewer has that info so it can decide to act upon it (apart from some gambling with words clipped in the middle of a character) this is not something for context to provide (it would mean keeping track of what gets clipped, and then compensating for it because it can still contribute to placement of following stuff, and then how about half clipped stuff) if i had a lifespan of 1000 years or were on a boring trip to another planet it might make a nice (although pointless) challenge to keep me occupied Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
