See the reference manual, especially frame=on. You can also define a
metapost overlay and get the dimension in OverlayBox.


\externalfigure[...][...,...=...,...]


[...]		   <file>
[...,...=...,...]  see \useexternalfigure (1)

\useexternalfigure[...][...][...,...=...,...]


[...]		   <name>
[...]		   <file>
scale		   <number>
factor		   max fit broad
wfactor		   <number> max broad fit
hfactor		   <number> max broad fit
width		   <dimension>
height		   <dimension>
frame		   on off
preset		   yes no
display		   <file>
preview		   yes no
repeat		   yes no
object		   yes no
type		   eps mps pdf tif png jpg mov <tex>
method		   eps mps pdf tif png jpg mov <tex>

Hi Patrick and all the others

thanks for your answer. I  think I asked my question a little bit unclearly.
I wanted to know if i can get the width of a figure, or the overlaywidth of
this figure as a numeric. I want to make a frame like this:
\framed[width=<width of \exernalfigure[fig]>, height=<height of
\externalfigure[fig]>]{blabla}.

I don't know if such a thing is possible, I didn't find such a thing in a
manual.

Why dont You just put the figure into a box? You can always say:

\newdimen\W
\newdimen\H
\setbox0\hbox{\externalfigure[your_figure]}
\W=\wd0\relax
\H=\ht0
\advance\H by \dp0\relax
\the\W
\the\H
\end

Such row TeX code always work:)
