external figure sizing

[Csikos Bela <bcsikos425@freemail.hu>]

Hello list members:

I would like to make a photo montage (4x3 images on one page) using
\placefigure, \externalfigure and combinations. The images should be scaled to the
same size, eg to .25\textwith and .3\textheight so that the  aspect ratios of the images
are kept and the appropriate value is used for width or height. That is the smaller value
from .25\textwith and .3\textheight is used for the image size.

Using only \useexternalfigure[Fig1][1.jpg][width=.25\textwidth] may not give the correct
result if the image requires size adjustment by height and vice versa. Defining both
width and height results in exact resizing and the aspect ratio is not maintained.

How can this be solved?

Thanks,

bcsikos
