Re: [NTG-context] Scaling down the resolution of used pictures

You can plugin in a converter. However, it only works for one to anothe
format so you need to patch a line in grph-inc.lua:
line 416: local converter = (newformat ~= format or resolution) and
converters[format]
(I'll figure out something better for this so it's a temp hack.)
Such a plugin looks like:
\startluacode
figures.converters.png = {
png = function(oldname,newname,resolution)
local command = string.format('gm convert -depth 1 %s
%s',oldname,newname)
logs.report(string.format(running command %s,command))
os.execute(command)
end
}
\stopluacode
\externalfigure[mill.png][resolution=lowres,conversion=png]

Don't you need to use 'resolution' somewhere in the function?

Well, not 'need' but it would make sense of course to use that info, for
instance to set the depth or resolution but I wasn't in the mood for
studying the man pages (and I always forget the command line arguments),
so I leave that 'as an exercise for the reader'.
