\clip [width=6.3cm,height=10.5cm,hoffset=0.5cm,voffset=1cm] {\externalfigure[ciccione_03.pdf]}

Now suppose that I wanted to put the above thing zoomed 200%; and here I have two problems:

So you want to clip first and scale the result to 200%? Or do you wish to clip the enlarged figure? \scale[sx=2,sy=2]{% \clip [width=3cm, height=5cm, hoffset=0cm, voffset=0cm]{\externalfigure[cow]}}

graphicx package can do that ...), and therefore in a scale-independent way (this is especially important when the scale factor is something like "max" or "fit" or "broad").

this can't be done with the above. Pat

Hello,

I have some problems with the way to put clipped images in ConTeXt documents; for what I can see the correct way to do it is via something like:

\clip [width=6.3cm,height=10.5cm,hoffset=0.5cm,voffset=1cm] {\externalfigure[ciccione_03.pdf]}

Now suppose that I wanted to put the above thing zoomed 200%; and here I have two problems:

(a) I can't seem to find the proper number to pass on to scale= or factor= in the \externalfigure options

(b) AFAICS I need to scale all the clipping parameters as well.

in addition to other answers: you can always surround it with \scale[..] ...
