RLXTOOLS ?

RLXTOOLS ?

[Michal Kvasnicka]

Good evening.

How can I make RLXTOOLS to regenerate a figure when its dimensions in 
the TeX file are changed? (What I mean is this: For screen version of my 
documents I downscale JPGs to 100ppi. But it depends on the size given 
by the TeX file. So I'd like RLXTools to regenerate the figure when I change
    \externalfigure[bum.jpg][width=\textwidth]
to
    \externalfigure[bum.jpg][width=\makeupwidth]
for instance (while in columns).)

How can I get force it to do it?

Many thanks for you kind answer. And many thanks to Mr. Hagen for this 
wonderful tool -- it's much better than my semimanual use of Make.

Yours
Michal Kvasnicka

Eventually you could give t-degrade.tex a try (available on
http://pmrb.free.fr/work/OS/ConTeXt/ )

in the default rlxtools.rlx file you will find

    <rl:manipulator name='lowres' suffix='pdf'>
        <rl:old><rl:value name='path'/>/<rl:value name='file'/></rl:old>
        <rl:new><rl:value name='path'/>/<rl:value 
name='prefix'/><rl:value name='file'/></rl:new>
        <rl:step>
            texmfstart pstopdf --convert --method=4
            --inputpath=<rl:value name='path'/>
            --outputpath=<rl:value name='path'/>/<rl:value name='prefix'/>
            <rl:value name='file'/>
        </rl:step>
    </rl:manipulator>

so, what you can do is define something  lowres-x and lowres-y and set 
the conversion to one of those those depending on the width

tricky but kind of okay is

\definemeasure[whatever][\makeupwidth]

... 
width=\measure{whatever},conversion=lowres-\ifdim\measure{whatever}<\makeupwidth 
x\else y\fi,...

Many thanks to you both---I will experiment with both solutions. I would 
prefer the RLXTools (being standard in the ConTeXt) but I still can't 
imagine how should I make the figure name/conversion dependent on the 
size specified in the TeX file (different sizes for different figures). 
However, I'll experiment.

Many thanks once more.
