Set up external figure for particular image type

Set up external figure for particular image type

[Thangalin via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 652 bytes --]

A document has a mix of SVG and PNG images. Changing the parameters for
`\setupexternalfigure` affects both SVG and PNG images. Consider the
following code:

    \setupexternalfigures[
      order={svg,pdf,png,jpg},
      location={local,default,global},
      directory={images},
      maxwidth=\textwidth,
      maxheight=0.4\textheight
    ]

I'd like to change the `maxheight` option for only PNG images, such as:

    \setupexternalfigure[
      method=png,
      maxwidth=\textwidth,
      maxheight=\textheight,
    ]

However, this affects SVG images as well.

How do you apply different external figure setups based on image type?

Thank you!

Define your own figure class with \definexternalfigure:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/defineexternalfigure

It won’t automatically chose the file format (or maybe it works with 
"order"), but you don’t need to repeat the setting for each instance.

Thank you for the suggestion Hraban.

The source comes from Markdown, which is converted to XML, then typeset
using ConTeXt. There's no Markdown-specific mechanism to relate images to a
particular external figure definition, unfortunately. All images use the
same syntax and are treated the same way. The only part that differs is the
file name extension (and header within the file).

One possibility would be something like:

\setupexternalfigure[
    width=1em,
    height=1em,
    order={svg,pdf,png,jpg},
    location={local,default,global},
]
\defineexternalfigure[png][
    width=\textwidth,
    height=\textheight,
]
\unprotect
\let\old_externalfigure=\externalfigure
\tolerant\def\externalfigure[#1]#,[#2]#,[#3]{%
    \doifelseinstring{.png}{#1}{%
        \old_externalfigure[#1][png][#2]%
    }{%
        \doifelsefileexists{#1.png}{%
            \old_externalfigure[#1.png][png][#2]%
        }{%
            \old_externalfigure[#1][#2][#3]%
        }%
    }%
}\protect

See: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/650221/2148

I was wondering if there was a simpler or a solution that's more the
ConTeXt-way?

Thanks again!

Assuming that Pandoc markdown is being used, you should be able to set 
class attributes on each image. You can then associate external figure 
definitions with specific classes, and process each individually.

<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL%202.html#extension-link_attributes>)

When you use XML as input you can add additional code to the setups block
which uses \externalfigure to load the image.


\setupexternalfigures [location={local,global,default}]

\defineexternalfigure [jpg] [width=4cm]
\defineexternalfigure [png] [width=8cm]

\starttexdefinition includegraphics #1

     \splitfilename{#1}

     \processaction
         [\splitofftype]
         [    jpg=>{\externalfigure[#1][jpg]},
              png=>{\externalfigure[#1][png]},
          default=>{\externalfigure[#1]},
          unknown=>{\externalfigure[#1]}]

\stoptexdefinition

%\starttexdefinition includegraphics #1
%
%    \getfiguredimensions[#1]
%
%    \processaction
%        [\figurefiletype]
%        [    jpg=>{\externalfigure[#1][jpg]},
%             png=>{\externalfigure[#1][png]},
%         default=>{\externalfigure[#1]},
%         unknown=>{\externalfigure[#1]}]
%
%\stoptexdefinition

\starttext

\includegraphics{hacker.jpg}

\includegraphics{mill.png}

\includegraphics{cow.pdf}

The below is likely overkill and a good bit of work to setup, but it is
also very flexible. Maybe it suits your needs.

The Markdown-to-XML conversion can be tuned to include all the relevant
information. E.g., you could use pandoc with a custom writer to produce
the XML format of your choice. The link below is an example XML writer
that can be tuned as needed.
<https://gist.github.com/tarleb/634b409be0af62ca210cc9e96d41ca8c>

With that setup, one can modify the `Image` function to produce the
output you need. E.g., match on the file name extension use the library
function `pandoc.path.split_extension` and then change the element type
depending on the extension.

This way you'd have all the important information in your XML.
More info: <https://pandoc.org/custom-writers> and
<https://pandoc.org/lua-filters>.

Of course, you could also use pandoc to go directly to ConTeXt; that is
currently my preferred way of producing PDF from Markdown.

Cheers,
Albert

Thanks, Rik.

Not using Pandoc. I was using Pandoc up until 2020:

https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2019/05/22/typesetting-markdown-part-1/

I've since authored KeenWrite <https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite>,
which uses flexmark-java <https://github.com/vsch/flexmark-java> to
generate XHTML documents from Markdown. The only additions I've made to the
library is to add support for Pandoc's annotation syntax (:::).

That said, I'm also a firm believer in not duplicating information. The
information (file name extension) is already available in the documents, so
adding a classification on top of the extension feels redundant.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks Albert!

I'm going to stick with my desktop text editor, KeenWrite
<https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite>, rather than use shell scripts
<https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2019/05/22/typesetting-markdown-part-1/> and
pandoc.

Thank you, Wolfgang.

That looks promising.

SVG files are converted using MetaPost. I thought the following would work:

svg=>{\externalfigure[#1][svg][conversion=mp]}

Is there anything else that needs to happen to ensure SVG files are piped
through MetaPost?

Thanks again!

You can probably remove the second argument ([svg]) which was used in my 
example to pass the default values with \defineexternalfigure. Just 
using \externalfigure[#1][conversion=mp] where you pass the default 
values with the second argument is enough.

I've added:

\setfigureconversion[svg][mp]

So that this works:

\starttext
   \externalfigure[kitten.jpg][width=2cm]
   \externalfigure[mill.png]  [width=4cm]
   \externalfigure[cow.pdf]   [width=6cm]
   \externalfigure[tiger.svg] [width=1cm]
\stoptext

But after we release you need to wikify it.
