[NTG-context] \externalfigure and large-paged pdfs
Hi,
Actually, this is a bug report. If you try to include a pdf with a large
page size:
\starttext
\externalfigure[plankaart]
\stoptext
chances are that you get an error message like this:
! Dimension too large.
recently read \hsize
\setraggedness ...yphenpenalty \dimexpr 2.8\hsize
/\dimexpr #1\relax
\relax ...
\raggedcenter ...spac_align_set_raggedness_middle
\raggedstatus
\plustwo \at...
\next ...ght \pack_framed_do_setups \raggedcenter
\vss \bgroup
\localbegstru...
\grph_include_finalize ...tedexternalfigureframed
{\vfilll \box
\foundextern...
\grph_include_place ...ode \grph_include_finalize
\fi \ctxlua
{figures.pop()...
...
l.2 \externalfigure[plankaart]
It seems that \externalfigure forces execution of \raggedcenter, and if
your PDF's page is large enough, that then fails.
There is, in fact, a workaroud:
\starttext
{\setupalign[nothyphenated]\externalfigure[plankaart]}
\stoptext
but that looks totally bizarre. Hans, can you find a way to fix this
properly?
Best wishes,
Taco

what happens if you do
\setupexternalfigures[align=]

There are definite places in the backend where a 64-bit number would be a no-no, and these have to be captured somewhere. And then there is the lua_Number that is a double, so it cannot fit a full 64-bit number without precision loss, etc. Best wishes, Taco ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
