Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\setuplayout[page]
\starttext
\clip[hoffset=5mm, voffset=5mm, width=15mm, height=15mm]
{\externalfigure[xml-mkiv.pdf]}
\stopnotmode
\stoptext
Using PDF.js (from current Firefox), xpdf, Evince, mupdf-gl, the viewer
is able to find "dealing", altough it cannot be displayed.
Okular and Sumatra (with Wine in Linux) are not able to find "dealing".
Is there any way to have a hard clipping in ConTeXt?
I mean, that only the contents of the clipped section is added to the
resulting PDF document?
one has to render a document (page stream) in order to wee what end up
where .. a viewer has that info so it can decide to act upon it (apart
from some gambling with words clipped in the middle of a character)
this is not something for context to provide (it would mean keeping
track of what gets clipped, and then compensating for it because it can
still contribute to placement of following stuff, and then how about
half clipped stuff)
if i had a lifespan of 1000 years or were on a boring trip to another
planet it might make a nice (although pointless) challenge to keep me
occupied
