Re: resize and center and clip image

[Otared Kavian <otared@gmail.com>]

Hi Mikael,

Out of curiosity I tried to typeset your example (after adding the usual \starttext, \stoptext), but using 
	ConTeXt  ver: 2014.04.28 23:24 MKIV beta  fmt: 2014.4.29  int: english/english 
I obtained a TeX error:

tex error       > error on line 13 in file /Users/kavian/Context/essais/mkii/figures/resize-and-center.tex: ! Undefined control sequence


\startexternalfigurecollection ...igurecollection 
                                                  {#1}\settrue \c_grph_inclu...
l.13 \clip[width=8cm,height=7cm]
                              {%

 3     \startexternalfigurecollection[k.jpg]
 4         \useexternalfigure[k.jpg][k.jpg]
 5     \stopexternalfigurecollection

I did not understand what is the « Undefined control sequence », since I think \clip is a known control sequence.

Best regards: OK
