Hi,
I am still puzzled about converting images to PDF files, as needed by
context. Say I got a .JPG-image.
There are several programs to convert this, e.g. convert from
ImageMagick.
When I convert directly to a PDF it creates a whole page for one
image. So I convert to EPS.
Then, using texutil --figures --epstopdf, I create the PDF.
The PDF-image looks fine when I show it in xpdf or Acrobat Reader.
But, when I include run context on a document containing this image
(using \useexternalfigure), it is a black image with some white
contours of the original figure, completely messed up.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help.
(I can send you the image if you want)

If you have
yourfig.pdf
yourfig.png
yourfig.jpg
and say
\externalfigure[yourfig]
context will take the pdf. If not there, it will take the png, otherwise
the jpg, otherwise search further and/or complain.
You can force a format by saying:
\externalfigure[yourfig.jpg]
Conversion from png / jpg to pdf:
texexec --fig=c --pdf yourfig.png
will produce you a pdf alternative
