Page Size to Figure Size

Page Size to Figure Size

Hey list,

I have a lot of fairly large diagrams in my book that don't always match
the aspect ratio of the page in landscape mode, though they usually are
closer to landscape than a portrait layout for the page dimension.

How can I insert a figure so that it is of a given size, with the page
size perfectly cropped around it?

The closest I have right now is this which is rather awful:

\definepapersize[main][A4][A4]
\definepapersize[diagram][A4,landscape][A4,landscape]

% Insert a full page landscape diagram, parameters are node name,
caption, and path...
\def\FullPageLandscapeDiagram#1#2#3%
{
    \page 
    \setuppapersize[diagram]
    \setuplayout[fullpage]
    \startframedtext[width=.95\textwidth,bottom=\vss,top=
\vss,align=right,corner=rectangular]
    \placefigure
        [force][figure:#1]
        {#2}
        {\externalfigure[#3][width=.95
\textwidth,background=color,backgroundcolor=colour_figure_background]}
    \stopframedtext
    \page
    \setuppapersize[main]
    \setuplayout[reset]
}

\startTEXpage[offset=1mm]
\externalfigure[...]
\stopTEXpage

Hey Aditya,

I've adapted it into the following.

% Insert a full page diagram, parameters are node name, caption, and
path...
\def\FullPageDiagram#1#2#3%
{
    \startTEXpage[offset=0mm]
    \startframedtext[width=0.95
\textwidth,align=center,corner=rectangular]
    \placefigure
        [force][figure:#1]
        {#2}
        {\externalfigure[#3][width=0.95\textwidth,
                             align=center,
                             background=color,
                             backgroundcolor=colour_figure_background]}
    \stopframedtext
    \stopTEXpage
}

It's not doing quite what I'd like though. I'd like the frame to be
flush with the outside edge of the page and the image to be perfectly
fitted to the frame, except at the bottom where the image caption needs
to be. I'd like to be able to say that the image should be of a given
width, with the aspect ratio automatically maintained.
