\useexternalfigure globally? (+minor issues)
Hi all, [1] in grph-fig.mkiv, “\useexternalfigure” is declared twice in exactly the same way (ll. 124 and 132). [2] “\showexternalfigures” does not seem to work in mkiv (fails at “\startXMLmapping”), is there an alternative? [3] Is there a way to globally declare an externalfigure from inside a group? So that in the following example, the second reference to “kuh” succeeds. ···8<···························································· \starttext \bgroup \useexternalfigure[kuh][cow] \externalfigure[kuh] \egroup \externalfigure[kuh] \stoptext ···8<···························································· Thanks in advance, Philipp

Thanks a lot, this works like a charm. Too bad I already wrote a workaround … Philipp

Which? As Hans wrote \startglobal can result in unwanted side effects. Wolfgang

Which?
My-code specific and Lua-based. Cost me a couple of function calls but I managed to get the extfig declared outside the group.

I guess I’ll investigate those later and stick to my code just now. Best regards, Philipp
