Hello Idris,

Thank you.

What is "display mode"? Simply

\vfill\externalfigure[Image00001.jpg]\vfill

\vbox to \textheight{\vfill\vskip1sp\externalfigure[Image00001.jpg]\vskip1sp\vfill} -- luigi

doesn't work for me.

Try $$<arg>$$. I'm sure there's a ConTeXt-ish solution for this as well (in addition to luigi's solution), can't check at the moment... Where are you, Wolfgang?

How can I center the image on a page?

\setuplayout[page] \starttext \startstandardmakeup \startalignment[middle] \dontleavehmode \externalfigure[image.png] \stopalignment \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext

Yes! Now let's make it even simpler: \starttext \startstandardmakeup \midaligned{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext Best Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

\fullpagebox{\externalfigure[image]}

\stoptext

Now THAT's the 1st-class gangster we know and love so much ;-) Question: How can we, if desired, fit the image to the page dimensions? See what happens with \starttext \fullpagebox{\externalfigure[cow][scale=fit]} \stoptext Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
