This is often handy to have them vectorized because it allows for the user to zoom in on diagrams of great detail.=20 In other situations, I find that for images that are not so important, they would benefit from ConTeXt rasterizing them when they are imported. The reason for this is I find some vector images get enormously bloated when they are typeset. As an example, I have a Logo.svg of only 6.8 KB. The m_k_i_v_Logo.pdf intermediate ConTeXt generates is nearly a megabyte in size. Why? I have no idea, as they both appear to be the same image with the same gausian blur. Is there a flag I can pass certain instances of \externalfigure that tells the image processing backend that a simple rasterized version of the figure is fine? Or is there a better approach? I don't want to pre-convert all of these images to raster formats. --=20 Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com --=-OWJdbeFCxptHdCixxTkS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk8XYwAACgkQLXnfK7bii20BxACguaNNr+CM8zpTGZmXlGsa+vlU 9REAmwTLc2fG6yPXH50ksbqOX+ugy1Qo =28bX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-OWJdbeFCxptHdCixxTkS-- --===============0074690176== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ --===============0074690176==--
