Unwanted change of paper size; extra opt for \externalfigure

Unwanted change of paper size; extra opt for \externalfigure

[Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o.]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 821 bytes --]

Hello,

see the following example:

----
\starttext
   AAA

   \startTEXpage
     \rotate[rotation=-90]{\externalfigure[Model.pdf]}
   \stopTEXpage

   % Paper size is 297 * 297 mm from now?!

   BBB
\stoptext
----

Why the last paper size becomes 297 x 297 mm?

Suggestion:

Wouldn't be good to have an option "rotation" (among "scale", "factor", width"...) to rotate the inserted figure, at least in multiples of 90 degrees? To allow something like:

\externalfigure[Model.pdf][width=180mm,rotation=-90]

Best regards,

Lukas

210 x 297 mm.

Not sure if it's a bug, but this fixes the situation (assuming A4 on A4)
\starttext
 AAA

 \startTEXpage
   \rotate[rotation=-90]{\externalfigure[Model.pdf]}
 \stopTEXpage
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
 % Paper size is 297 * 297 mm from now?!

 BBB
\stoptext

Shorter example:

\starttext
Foo
\startTEXpage [height=21cm, width=40cm]
\stopTEXpage
Bar
\stoptext

When the width of the TeXpage is larger than the preceding
page the following  pages also get larger,  a smaller size
works. I don't thing this behaviour is intended.

OK,

   ...
   \stopTEXpage
   \setuppapersize[reset]

works as well.

So there is still the question - whether the behaviour is intended.

Rotation and clipping is implemented as separate commands,
I don't know about the reason, not to have them as well in
\externalfigure.

But it's implemented in \placefigure. Beware: \placefigure
bites you if you provide negative angles ;)

\placefigure[270][]{none}{\externalfigure[Model.pdf]}

Clipping isn’t but rotation is (inherited from \framed):

\externalfigure[...][orientation=-90]

- "orientation" looks useful - I'll try it later.

Anyway, I've added the option to wiki; it was not mentioned there.

Best regards,

Lukas
