I see, I did not realize such simple usage of \clip (without options). That do exactly what was thinking about. One character of typing difference between: \clip{\externalfigure{test}} and \externalfigure[clip]{test} is not crutial:) So sorry for noise. But as far as I know, \clip works only with left|top,width|height params. Could right|bottom be added (assuming at least one from left-width-right and top-height-bottom is missing - if not width|height is ignored)? Or there is again some secret that I missed?
