Re: resize and center and clip image

["Mikael P. Sundqvist" <mickep@gmail.com>]

OK, sorry for the noise. I think I have the solution:

\startexternalfigurecollection[k.jpg]
     \useexternalfigure[k.jpg][k.jpg]
 \stopexternalfigurecollection


\externalfigurecollectionminwidth{k.jpg}
\externalfigurecollectionmaxheight{k.jpg}

\clip[width=8cm,height=7cm]{%
\framed[width=8cm,height=7cm,align={middle,lohi},offset=overlay]{%
\dimen0=\externalfigurecollectionminwidth{k.jpg}
\dimen2=\externalfigurecollectionmaxheight{k.jpg}
\dimen4=8cm
\dimen6=7cm
\startluacode
if tex.dimen[0] / tex.dimen[2] < tex.dimen[4] / tex.dimen[6] then
      local skalning =
-0.5*(tex.dimen[4]/tex.dimen[0]*tex.dimen[2]-tex.dimen[6])
      context("\\vskip%ssp", skalning)
      context.externalfigure({"k.jpg"},{width="8cm"})
      context.sprint("foo")
else
      local skalning =
-0.5*(tex.dimen[6]/tex.dimen[2]*tex.dimen[0]-tex.dimen[4])
      context("\\hskip%ssp", skalning)
      context.externalfigure({"k.jpg"},{height="7cm"})
      context.sprint("bar")
end
\stopluacode
}}

If there are any bad side effects of this or simplifications, please
do not hesitate to tell me :)
