Hi Peter, thank you for pointing to img.scan{}! It's indeed shorter than to invoke Graphics Magick in Lua. Remains the conversion of image sizes into pt. There is an example in the chapter "Calculations in Lua" in "https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image_Placement" (a work in progress). According to there it's necessary to know the resolution in order to convert image sizes from px to pt which at least I don't know. Mostly I can preset one size of a picture (say the width in pt) to be able to place it on a page and assuming x-resolution = y-resolution and keeping width-to-height ratio I calculate the missing size (here the height in pt) in Lua by picture-height-in-px asked-picture-height-in-pt = preset-picture-width-in-pt * -------------------- picture-width-in-px This is simple and normally it suffices for me.
