Careful, dvips does not work well with latin modern (or even other fonts); I
have mostly given up on dvips as far as ConTeXt is concerned (and I can't
count the number of hours I've messed with it)...

Yes, but then the author of the thread will still have to convert his
images to pdf (or can dvipdfmx take eps now? If so, then that's great news!

Today I try to insert .eps file in to my presentation. I use
\externalfigure[xx.eps] to insert xx.eps. The figure shows correct in the
dvi file generated by "texexec --once --texutils xx.tex". However this
figure disappears in the pdf file generated by "texexec --pdf xx.tex". The
log says "figures: xx.eps has zero dimensions". What is the problem? Is
there anything wrong with the .eps file?
Thanks

You need a pdf-version of the figure. If you are on LInux, you can enter
'epstopdf xx.eps' on the commandline (if epstopdf is installed). That
generates xx.pdf. Then run texexec again.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I am using miktex under windows. I tried to run
epstopdf xx.eps. It returns the error message:
Warning: BoundingBox not found.
Error: /rangecheck in --.peekstring--
Operand stack:
--nostringval-- --nostringval-- (\305\320\323\306)

There is boundingbox when I use GSview to check the file info, and it shows
correct in my another latex file.

you may try
texmfstart newpstopdf yourfile.eps
btw, there is a new subsystem that can do conversions on the fly ... i only need
soem time to document it -)

Although your problem is solved, a short remark.
I also had this problem recently. It was because my eps file was not in the
right text format (unix, in my case). Converting the eps file solved this
problem. Maybe you have something similar at hand?
just for the record. :)

Hi,
texexec's --pdf switch uses pdfetex to generate a pdf document directly,
and pdftex does not accept images in eps format, only .pdf, .jpg and .png
are supported.
The error message is slightly misleading, because it actually means:
"figures: xx.eps.pdf has zero dimensions"
If you want to use your images in pdf, either convert them from eps to
pdf before calling texexec, or use the texexec => dvips => ps2pdf
route to create the pdf document (using ghostscript instead of pdftex).
Side note: it is generally better to use a 'bare' \externalfigure[xx]
instead
of giving an explicit extension. That way, assuming you have xx.eps and
xx.pdf,
both dvi and pdf trajects would work without the need for source changes.
Greetings, Taco
