How about an entry on the wiki?
\dimexpr and \numexpr are explaines in the e-tex manual.

Best,

The only important thing for \dimexpr is to write the dimen value
as first value after the \dimexpr command and then the numeric values.

One thing that you can always do:
\box0=\hbox{012}
and then you can access \ht0, \wd0, \dp0 (height, width and depth) of
whatever text you desire.

Re: [NTG-context] Dimensions of a picture
Taco Hoekwater wrote: It seems probable that your JPEG file is broken, there is no size limit for JPEG images, but there are some checks to make sure that the file is 'valid ', and your image failed one of those checks. There are several command-line utilities for checking image files. The ImageMagick suite has a program called 'identify,' which will give you lots of information (probably more than you want!): identify -verbose image_file If you're running Linux, ImageMagick is available for just about any distribution, and may already be installed on your system. I think you can get a version for Windows, too; not sure about MacOS. If the file is broken, 'identify' will tell you so. Otherwise, post the output of the command to the list, and hopefully someone will be able to tell you if there's something unusual about your file that makes it incompatible with pdefetex. -- Matt Gushee Englewood, CO, USA ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
