, 22:12, 30 November 2012More elaborate examples
== Example ==
=== Including a local image ===
In the example below, no file name extension is used. ConTeXt searches for an image file in the following order: `cow.pdf`, `cow.mps`, `cow.1`, `cow.2`, etc., `cow.jpg`, `cow.png`, `cow.jp2`, `cow.jbig`, `cow.jbig2`, `cow.jb2`. The file `cow.pdf`, which is distributed as part of the ConTeXt distribution, is found and displayed.
<context source="yes">
% look for figure files in texmf tree
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
</context>
ConTeXt distribution also includes a sample image `hacker.jpg`. To include it use:
<context source="yes">
% look for figure files in texmf tree
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\externalfigure[hacker][height=3cm]
</context>
=== Include a remote image ===
<context source="yes">
\externalfigure[http://placekitten.com.s3.amazonaws.com/homepage-samples/200/286.jpg]
</context>
The above example does not work on the wiki due to security restrictions. It should run on the default ConTeXt installation.
