Hello,

is there a way to rotate a pdf-figure ?

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Using_Graphics

thanks,

\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[filename]}

\externalfigure[filename][orientation=90] ;) Wolfgang

OK, it is the param I hoped to get, but how to find it in the doc ?

Hello, I suppose, that you can find "orientation=..." only in the sources, but \rotate[]{} is a standard command that you can find in the wiki, in mp-cb-en.pdf and in texshow. Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

\placefigure[here,90]{}{}

Yes! However, sometimes we want to turn an externalfigure that is one part of a combination. Here, \externalfigure [orientation=90] is broken (incorrect bounding box). Minimal example: \setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}] \starttext \externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,width=.5\textwidth] \rotate [rotation=90] {\externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,width=.5\textwidth]} \placefigure [force,90] {A turned cow} {\externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,width=.5\textwidth]} broken:\crlf \externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,width=.5\textwidth,orientation=90] \externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,height=.5\textwidth,orientation=90] \stoptext % Alan

Yes! However, sometimes we want to turn an externalfigure that is one part of a combination. Here, \externalfigure [orientation=90] is broken (incorrect bounding box). Minimal example:

\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]

\starttext \externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,width=.5\textwidth] \rotate [rotation=90] {\externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,width=.5\textwidth]} \placefigure [force,90] {A turned cow} {\externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,width=.5\textwidth]}

broken:\crlf \externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,width=.5\textwidth,orientation=90] \externalfigure [cow] [frame=on,height=.5\textwidth,orientation=90] \stoptext

I always thought that orientation was related to textual flow while rotate to rectangular object \starttext \framed[width=12cm,height=3cm,orientation=0]{\input ward\relax} \framed[width=12cm,height=3cm,orientation=90]{\input ward\relax} \framed[width=12cm,height=3cm,orientation=180]{\input ward\relax} \framed[width=12cm,height=3cm,orientation=270]{\input ward\relax} \framed[width=12cm,height=3cm,orientation=-90]{\input ward\relax} \framed[width=12cm,height=3cm,orientation=-180]{\input ward\relax} \framed[width=12cm,height=3cm,orientation=-270]{\input ward\relax} \stoptext

This explains the use of the keyword "orientation", inherited from \framed by \externalfigure (also the use of "width" and "height"). Should \externalfigure have an additional keyword "rotation" to be interpreted independently of "orientation"? Alan
