externalfigure and width/height scaling

externalfigure and width/height scaling

[nico]

Hello,

I am new to ConTeXt, so please be patient with my newbie questions.  
Looking at the \externalfigure capabilities, I haven't found any option  
allowing to scale only one dimension (or scale both dimensions in an  
anamorphous way).

Am I right, and if so what is the best method to perform this?

I thought about using the \getfiguredimensions macro to get the natural  
dimensions, and then use something like  
width=0.2\imgwidth,height=0.8\imgheight, but it is a pity that the  
externalfigure interface does not allow this directly (something like  
wscale and hscale options).

Regards,
BG

there is indeed no xscale and yscale (although 
\scale[sx=1.5,sy=2,3]{...} is available)

Thanks very much for your quick patch, it works as expected. Do you plan  
to include it in a next release?
