Directories of pictures

Directories of pictures

[Maurício]

   Hi,

   When I use \externalfigure inside of \placefigure, Context can only 
find filenames in the current directory, i.e., the directory where I'm 
executing texexec. How can I instruct Context to look for files on the 
same directory of my .tex file?

   Thanks,
   Maurício

Use \setupexternalfigures[directory={./src/images}] for example.

Use:

\setupexternalfigures[directory={path_to_your_figures,another_path}]

And you can even use relative paths and go 'down' in the directory tree:

\setupexternalfigures[directory={../pdf-images,../png-images}]

   But those would be relative to the shell current directory, not to 
tex file directory.

   Do you think it's possible to say something like:

\setupexternalfigures[directory={<tex_file_directory>/png-images}]  ?

   Note that ./png-images seems to look for 
<current_shell_directory>/png-images.

what is tex_file_directory?

I'm guessing "the directory in which the tex source file lives", what
I often wished TeX used as its search path for relative paths -- the
way some (all?) C compilers will when looking for include files.

it depends on your texinputs variable: 

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

here, default will eventually fall back to tex's input path search 

\externalfigure[tmp/cow.pdf]

but, there need to be a tmp path relative to one of the paths that make up texinputs; in context mkiv we can use more clever methods because there we will have more control over finding and opening files; for now, we depend on what tex and kpse/web2c provide

I have not read all the message before sending an answer... Sorry.

Consider a small doc I've just written tomorrow:

sample.tex
\starttext

\placefigure[here]{none}{
\startcombination[2*4]
{\externalfigure[lignedroite1][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[lignedroite2][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[lignedroite3][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[lignedroite4][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[lignedroite5][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[lignedroite6][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[lignedroite7][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[lignedroite8][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
\stopcombination
}

\placefigure[here]{none}{
\startcombination[2*4]
{\externalfigure[courbe1][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[courbe2][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[courbe3][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[courbe4][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[courbe5][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[courbe6][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[courbe7][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[courbe8][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
\stopcombination
}

\stoptext

the directory contains:

courbe1.png  courbe6.png        lignedroite1.png  lignedroite6.png
courbe2.png  courbe7.png        lignedroite2.png  lignedroite7.png
courbe3.png  courbe8.png        lignedroite3.png  lignedroite8.png
courbe4.png  entrainement1.png  lignedroite4.png  reponse2010.tex
courbe5.png  entrainement2.png  lignedroite5.png  roue-vissansfin.png

texexec sample give satisfaction...

My previous answer assumes that your pictures are in ./src/images/

   That's what I'm doing, but Context looks for the .png files in the 
current directory.

   With your previous example, I would have to place my pictures in 
<current_dir>/scr/images. I would like to put my pictures in 
<tex_file_dir>/scr/images, and have Context to find them no matter which 
directory I'm in when I execute texexec. Also, I would like to use 
relative paths, not absolute paths.

   Best,
   Maurício

./src/images 

you can see what happens with 

\traceexternalfigurestrue

   \traceexternalfigurestrue just says it's checking '.', but it doesn't 
say if '.' is current shell directory or tex file directory.

tex cannot expand a path so we cannot determine that; 

directory={.,default} 

is also an option since default will make context lookj in tex related paths
