"draw externalfigure"
I'm still not sure about that one ... compatibility vs clean
I rather like the new syntax - indeed much cleaner.
(However, for compatibility issues, it might be nice to somehow program a better error message, if possible, so that 'externalfigure "hacker.jpg";' more elegantly fails.)
pretty hard in metapost
In fact, '\externalfigure' in ConTeXt and 'externalfigure' in metafun (without 'draw') can be a bit confusing, as in \starttext \externalfigure "hacker" scaled 5cm ; \stoptext Of course, no-one would ever admit to such foolishness.
maybe another name externalimage or so (as images in mp need to be drawn) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
