[NTG-context] error when using externalfigure
Hello,
I have a big context source file which contains pictures from different
sources. The problem is, that there are some pictures the context cannot
process. It displays an error message and ends. I run the context from
another script in batchmode. After finishing, the context creates a PDF
file, which contains this problematic picture but the pdf is broken. It
does not have numbers in the table of contents and it is not arranged by
setup.
Here is a minimal example:
\starttext
\externalfigure[
http://cdn-locations-images.tripomatic.com/img-poi1295-5ZTynx-s.jpg][width=26.5mm
]
\stoptext
When I run the context, it prints:
! Dimension too large.
system tex error on line 1 in file a.tex: Dimension too large
...

argument ...1295-5ZTynx-s.jpg][][width=26.5mm][]
\fi
\firstofoneargument #1-#1
Because I have several thousands pictures, it is impossible for me to
correct them all. Is it somehow possible to run the context so that it
ignores the problematic pictures?
Thank you

Re: [NTG-context] error when using externalfigure
I can see the problem. Image has wrong information in its header. But what to do with it? As I mentioned before, I create context source by another script (PHP script) and php runs context. I have thousands of images so it is impossible to me every single image convert. But I created php gate which try convert images on the fly. When I try this particural image convert it gives me this image: http://cdn-images-squared.tripomatic.com/e46c68903d2c4445f05a0369578c17dd-270.jpg But after context runs this file it falls down with error message: !LuaTeX error: reading JPEG image failed (no JPEG header found) == Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 70 Which is even worse, because although the user gets bad PDF it contains some information. In this case there is no pdf created. I looked in gimp for something bad in this image, but it looks ok to me. So do you have any advice what to do?

Re: [NTG-context] error when using externalfigure
This seems to me a case of garbage in, garbage out; I'd say it's the
script's job, rather than ConTeXt's, to ensure the images have the
correct dpi to get a reasonable width in inches. (Brr. I hate inches.
Disgusting, Mars-mission-wrecking way of measuring things.)
Here is some pseudocode. You'd still need a way to get
image.width_in_pixels and image.dpi from the image; I daresay either
`convert` or `exiftool` can do the job. See also this recent mail to
the list by Guy Stalnaker:
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20121123.232556.bf205641.en.html
projected_width = image.width_in_pixels / image.dpi
if projected_width max_width_in_inches then
required_dpi = image.width_in_pixels / max_width_in_inches
shell('convert --density %f %s', required_dpi, image_name)
end

Hm, I'm not sure. It's an image that could be correct, but TeX cannot

It has 240x160 pixels and 1ppi, so it's 6,096 meters x 4,06400meters
and 6 meters are too much for TeX (which still has its limits around
5meters)
It's ok to print poster maybe, but then TeX is not the right tool.
yes, but the 1,1 resolution prevents us from doing anything useful, i.e. we
could for instance have something
if xresolution 72 then xresolution = 72 end
but I'm not sure what the pdf backend will do as then the uses resolution
for front and backend differ too much
i'll add an overflow check but keep in mind that in that case scaling is
bases on the limited size

Creator:ConTeXt - 2012.11.26 13:31 Producer: LuaTeX-0.70.2 when I save the jpg as eps from gimp I see width = 6096,00 height=4064,00 tried, can't see here. The first value is off for TeX. if i print the values from the img object i get 17344.8pt 11563.2pt so the problem is deep down in the jpg reader ... the image is crippled in the sense that it has no valid resolution information something for hartmut to check in the img lib can't confirm. Is this solved already? the latest beta clips ... something: local maxdimen = 2^30-1 function img.check(figure) if figure then local width = figure.width local height = figure.height if height width then if height maxdimen then figure.height = maxdimen figure.width = width * maxdimen/height end elseif width maxdimen then figure.width = maxdimen figure.height = height * maxdimen/width end return figure end end so it's taken care of (in principle the img library is right in handling maxdimen dimensions as lua has no such limit) Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ 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 ___
