If you’re using ConTeXt for complex layout tasks, you need to calculate with image sizes. Often it makes sense to use Lua functions.

Beware, TeX calculates internally in "scaled points" (sp), 1 sp = 1/65536 pt.

Measures in pure ConTeXt

You can get at a picture’s dimensions with one line of TeX code:

\setupexternalfigures[location=default] % necessary to find pictures in tree
\getfiguredimensions[hacker.jpg]

This defines a bunch of variables:
