Moin Hraban!
It's very interesting for me to see, how exactly you calculate
the size of images and texts with the help of lua!
Up to now I used to use python and a independend lua to provide some
necessary data for context. For instance python invokes graphicsmagick
in order to get the size of images. Because it's provided in px and not
in pt, so often some further manual work is unavoidable.
Now, since lua and metafun are well integrated into context it suggests
itself to use luatex instead of python, though I like this language
very much.
Thank you very much, Hraban, for putting your macros and links
at my disposal!
Regards, Rudolf
