Command/externalfigure

\externalfigure

Syntax

\externalfigure[...][...,...=...,...]
[...]	file
[...,...=...,...]	see \useexternalfigure

Description

Include an external figure. If it is a pdf file, by default \externalfigure will use the mediabox; you can tell it to use the artbox instead like so:

% Unfortunately, cow.pdf is trimmed so that its mediabox coincides 
% with its artbox, so it's not suitable for illustrating this key.
\externalfigure[cow][width=4cm,size=artbox]

Example

• \setupexternalfigures to set some default settings.
