Description
Examples
Example 1
\useexternalfigure[kuh][cow.pdf][width=2cm] \starttext \externalfigure[kuh] \stoptext
Example 2
By design, \useexternalfigure works only in local scope. In order to globally declare a figure, one has to wrap it into a \startglobal environment, thereby rendering it accessible outside the current group. [1]
NB: The drawback is that other local stuff might be leaked into the global environment.
\starttext \bgroup \startglobal \useexternalfigure[kuh][cow.pdf] \stopglobal \placefigure[here]{first}{\externalfigure[kuh]} \egroup \placefigure[here]{second}{\externalfigure[kuh]} \stoptext
