Is it possible to specify an external graphics directory either as an
environment variable, or as a command line option to `context', instead
of writing `\setupexternalfigures [directory=../../foo]'? I tried the
environment variable setting
TEXINPUTS=../../foo::
as in http://www.tex.ac.uk/FAQ-graphicspath.html, and the command line
option
--path=../../foo
for `context', but neither works in my Linux environment. I would like
to avoid cluttering ConTeXt files with system paths.
Thanks and regards,
Raghu.

Yes. Command: "context --arguments=imagedir=../../foo file" File: "\setupexternalfigures[directory=\env{imagedir}]" -- Peter

Thank you, this works perfectly. It led me also to the
\getvariable{environment}{...}, \getdocumentargument, and
\do*documentargument commands, which may be useful later on.
