Hey list, I have a lot of fairly large diagrams in my book that don't always match the aspect ratio of the page in landscape mode, though they usually are closer to landscape than a portrait layout for the page dimension.
How can I insert a figure so that it is of a given size, with the page
size perfectly cropped around it?
The closest I have right now is this which is rather awful:
\definepapersize[main][A4][A4]
\definepapersize[diagram][A4,landscape][A4,landscape]
% Insert a full page landscape diagram, parameters are node name,
caption, and path...
\def\FullPageLandscapeDiagram#1#2#3%
{
\page
\setuppapersize[diagram]
\setuplayout[fullpage]
\startframedtext[width=.95\textwidth,bottom=\vss,top=
\vss,align=right,corner=rectangular]
\placefigure
[force][figure:#1]
{#2}
{\externalfigure[#3][width=.95
\textwidth,background=color,backgroundcolor=colour_figure_background]}
\stopframedtext
\page
\setuppapersize[main]
\setuplayout[reset]
}
