Re: [NTG-context] Figure Help
Hey Hans. I think I figured out why it wasn't displaying properly.

Re: [NTG-context] Figure Help
I knew about the detour via inkscape, but I hoped for native support. So I guess svg is not supported then? The current implmentation (at least when I looked at it 3 months back) called inkscape to convert svg to pdf. IIRC, it is possible to configure which program is used to do the conversion, but there is no native support. The main reason is that there is no native support in pdftex or luatex binaries. Support for svg can be added in two ways, either linking an svg library with the luatex binary or writing an svg to pdf converted in lua. ___ 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 ___

Since I'm also interested in this and fail to get it working, please allow me to provide such an example. The svg-file is taken of the german Wikipedia-article of the svg file format. It includes fonts, I'm not sure if this causes trouble. Note: When I include the extension in the filename (testimage.svg) I get "!LuaTeX error: cannot find image file 'm_k_i_v_testimage.pdf'" probably due to some failed conversion stuff.

Hi, May be I missed one or the other mail on this topic. There is indeed support for svg-inclusion in MKIV. In order to be possibly of help I would like you to send a minimal example.

See if it works with a PDF file. SVG support is not 100% -- on MkII it can only be done using Inkscape for preprocessing, and on MkIV support is ‘via preprocessing and limited’ according to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/File_Formats .
