Images centered on page

Images centered on page

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

How can I center the image on a page? I want images to cover the page completely, and since they have proper size (roughly A4), I only need them to be centered. Now they are stuck to the top, leaving a gap on bottom (and same for left-right).

I have the following script (note my Lua trick to process images in a batch). Image names are "Image00001.png" and so on.


%engine=luatex
\setuplayout
  [footer=0mm, header=0mm,
  topspace=0mm, backspace=0mm,
  leftmargin=0mm, rightmargin=0mm,
  location=middle,
  height=fit, width=fit]

\starttext

\startluacode
  for n = 1, 9 do
    tex.print(string.format("\\externalfigure[Image%05d.png]", n)); 
  end
\stopluacode

\stoptext


Best regards,
Vyatcheslav

Did you try display mode? \vfill <arg> \vfill? I guess I don't see the  
complication... :-)

Hello Idris,

Thank you. 

What is "display mode"?  Simply 

\vfill\externalfigure[Image00001.jpg]\vfill

doesn't work for me.

Try $$<arg>$$.

I'm sure there's a ConTeXt-ish solution for this as well (in addition to  
luigi's solution), can't check at the moment... Where are you, Wolfgang?

Alternatively, \vfill + display mode

\leavevmode\vfill$$\externalfigure[cow.pdf]$$\vfill

Yes! Now let's make it even simpler:

\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
\midaligned{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]}
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext

your mail remind me to something I wanted a long time ago but I was now
motivated enough to write it. Below is solution to fit a given image to
a page with the normal width and height but remove parts at the top and
bottom or left and right if the width height relation is different from
the one of the document.

I think Hans would be ablo to write a better solution but this all I
can do by myself at the moment.

\unprotect

\def\fullpagebox
  {\bgroup
   \dowithnextbox
     {\!!widtha\dimexpr\paperwidth/\nextboxwd\relax
      \!!widthb\dimexpr\paperheight/\nextboxht\relax
      \ifdim\!!widtha>\!!widthb
        \setbox\nextbox\vbox\!!to\paperheight{\vss\expanded{\scale[\c!width=\paperwidth]{\flushnextbox}}\vss}%
      \else
        \setbox\nextbox\hbox\!!to\paperwidth{\hss\expanded{\scale[\c!height=\paperheight]{\flushnextbox}}\hss}%
      \fi \setbox\nextbox\hbox{\clip[\c!width=\paperwidth,\c!height=\paperheight]{\flushnextbox}}%
      \startTEXpage
      \flushnextbox
      \stopTEXpage
      \egroup}
   \hbox}

\protect

\starttext

\fullpagebox{\externalfigure[image]}

\stoptext

Now THAT's the 1st-class gangster we know and love so much ;-)

Question: How can we, if desired, fit the image to the page dimensions?  
See what happens with

\starttext

\fullpagebox{\externalfigure[cow][scale=fit]}

\stoptext

Can you try \pagefigure, my solution was to scale a image to the
papersize and remove parts. \pagefigure includes a figure within a
TEXpage and you scale now the figure to the size of the document.

\starttext

\pagefigure[cow][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]

\stoptext
