Re: How to center with picture taken into consideration

[Sietse Brouwer <sbbrouwer@gmail.com>]

Hello Cecil,

I have a LuaTeX-based start for you, but there is one important thing
I do not know: how to obtain the an image's width and/or height from
Lua. Although that would also depend on whether you want to resize
images to a fixed with, etc. Anyway, now that the typesetting code is
Lua-based, working out the conditional stuff you need will hopefully
be trivial (for 'if you know Lua or have an hour to learn the basics'
values of trivial).

Cheers,
Sietse
