Hi,

according to the wiki the \externalfigure key “factor” has the
options:

max: aspect ratio is kept, the image is scaled to
     the bigger (oversized) variant

fit: aspect ratio is kept, the image is scaled to
     the smaller (fitted) variant

In the following example I expect the third image to have a width of
4cm and a height of 4cm. However, both values are 3cm. The aspect
ratio is kept, but “max” and “fit” behave the same.

\startbuffer [img]
  \useMPlibrary [dum]
  \startTEXpage
    \externalfigure [dummy] [width=5cm,height=5cm]
  \stopTEXpage
\stopbuffer
\ctxcommand{runbuffer("img", "img", true)}

\starttext

\externalfigure [\jobname-img]
  [width=3cm, height=4cm]

\blank
\externalfigure [\jobname-img]
  [factor=fit, width=3cm, height=4cm]

\blank
\externalfigure [\jobname-img]
  [factor=max, width=3cm, height=4cm]

\stoptext

Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding the wiki? Anyhow, is there a
clean solution to keep the aspect ratio and scale the image to
whichever value is larger?


Marco
