Hello Hans,


best pack the img in a box and then put some qQ around it with the clip at the 
end (the usual experimenting with origin), so basically something compatible to

\pdfliteral {q clip spec}
\pdfximage{...}
\pdfliteral {Q}

ending up in something

that works fine, thank you very much! This is my test code now:

-----------------------
\directlua{
   a=node.new("whatsit","pdf_literal")
   b=node.new("whatsit","pdf_literal")
   a.data = "q 0 w 20 20 m 140  20 l 140 160 l 20 160 l W n "
   b.data = "Q"
   image = img.scan{filename="cow.pdf"}
   i = img.node(image)
   node.insert_after(a,a,i)
   node.insert_after(a,i,b)
   head = node.hpack(a)
   tex.box[0] = head
}


\box0

\bye

looks ok to me

-----------------------

I wonder how it compares to the slightly different approach pdflatex uses 
(pdftex.def?). If I see it correctly the graphicx package creates an 
xobject/form from the bitmap and changes the bounding box there.

i don't know (never looked into it) but maybe it's wrapped twice then, once as image (form) and as box (form) or maybe they add a crop box in the resources that then overloads the mediabox

but i guess that the clip is okay (i used that method for years)
