Hi, When I use \externalfigure inside of \placefigure, Context can only find filenames in the current directory, i.e., the directory where I'm executing texexec. How can I instruct Context to look for files on the same directory of my .tex file? Thanks, Maurício

Use \setupexternalfigures[directory={./src/images}] for example. Renaud
Use: \setupexternalfigures[directory={path_to_your_figures,another_path}] Cheers, Jörg On Oct 20, 2006, at 2:34 PM, Maurício wrote:

And you can even use relative paths and go 'down' in the directory tree: \setupexternalfigures[directory={../pdf-images,../png-images}] See also: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Using_Graphics Mari (who's had her share of 'why in the bleep doesn't it found that pic')

But those would be relative to the shell current directory, not to tex file directory. Best, Maurício

I'm guessing "the directory in which the tex source file lives", what I often wished TeX used as its search path for relative paths -- the way some (all?) C compilers will when looking for include files. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

it depends on your texinputs variable: \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}] here, default will eventually fall back to tex's input path search \externalfigure[tmp/cow.pdf] but, there need to be a tmp path relative to one of the paths that make up texinputs; in context mkiv we can use more clever methods because there we will have more control over finding and opening files; for now, we depend on what tex and kpse/web2c provide Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I have not read all the message before sending an answer... Sorry. Consider a small doc I've just written tomorrow: sample.tex \starttext \placefigure[here]{none}{ \startcombination[2*4] {\externalfigure[lignedroite1][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[lignedroite2][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[lignedroite3][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[lignedroite4][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[lignedroite5][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[lignedroite6][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[lignedroite7][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[lignedroite8][width=.4\textwidth]}{} \stopcombination } \placefigure[here]{none}{ \startcombination[2*4] {\externalfigure[courbe1][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[courbe2][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[courbe3][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[courbe4][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[courbe5][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[courbe6][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[courbe7][width=.4\textwidth]}{} {\externalfigure[courbe8][width=.4\textwidth]}{} \stopcombination } \stoptext the directory contains: courbe1.png courbe6.png lignedroite1.png lignedroite6.png courbe2.png courbe7.png lignedroite2.png lignedroite7.png courbe3.png courbe8.png lignedroite3.png lignedroite8.png courbe4.png entrainement1.png lignedroite4.png reponse2010.tex courbe5.png entrainement2.png lignedroite5.png roue-vissansfin.png texexec sample give satisfaction...

That's what I'm doing, but Context looks for the .png files in the current directory.
My previous answer assumes that your pictures are in ./src/images/
With your previous example, I would have to place my pictures in

\traceexternalfigurestrue just says it's checking '.', but it doesn't say if '.' is current shell directory or tex file directory. Maurício

tex cannot expand a path so we cannot determine that; directory={.,default} is also an option since default will make context lookj in tex related paths Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
