In [http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/core-mis.mkii core-mis.mkii] ([http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/core-mis.mkiv core-mis.mkiv] for MkIV) there are some handy You can use the commands for graphical text manipulation defined, but also for graphics or other “building blocks”.

== \The {{cmd|scale ==}} command is all-purpose, you can scale by factors or to a defined size.

You As a special case, you can insert symbols at a reduced size in the text flowusing {{cmd|getscaledglyph}}.

 == \mirror =Mirroring =

<code>\{{cmd|mirror</code> }} makes a <code>\hbox</code> and mirrors the contents. If you want to have a longer paragraph mirrored, you have to make a <code>\vbox</code> manually.

once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `\quote{and what is the use of a book,' } thought Alice `\quote{without pictures or conversation?'}}}

=Rotating = \ You can {{cmd|rotate ==}} something by an arbitrary angle like

<context source=yes>\ss Next generation L\rotate{m}\rotate{m}TSP\mirror{3}Al\rotate[rotation== 270,location parameter ===high]{v}?</context>

An example by Hans Hagen showing the You can rotate a long paragraph as well. ==Location parameter== The influence of <code>location=</code> argument at different angles:

You can <context source="yes">\useMPlibrary[dum]\setupexternalfigures[width=4em,height=3em,frame=on,]\dostepwiserecurse{0}{359}{45}{{\bf\recurselevel˚}\quad \doloopoverlist{normal,depth,fit,broad,high,middle}{ \dontleavehmode\ruledhbox{% \rotate a long paragraph as well.[rotation=\recurselevel, location=\recursestring]{% \externalfigure[\recursestring] }% }% }\par}</context>

=== in In a box ===

=== page Page dependent landscape figures ===

Sometimes, in a double-sided portrait document, you may wish to rotate a landscape figure so that the top is towards the spine of the book – no matter whether it's it’s on an odd or even page. In this case the <{{cmd>|doifoddpageelse</cmd> }} command can help:

== \clip =Clipping=

You can adjust the size of an element by cropping/clipping its borders:<ref>Please, don’t forget that clipping only displays a part of an image. At least when this comes from a PDF document, the whole page has to be included, although only part of it is displayed.<br/>The PDF output from the following sample contains <code>hans hagen, pragma ade</code>. Depending on your PDF viewer, you may be able to search for it.<br/>Of course, you will have to compile the source yourself, since the wiki will only contains PNG images from compilations.  <context source="yes">\setuppapersize[A5, landscape]\setuplayout[page]\starttext\clip[nx=3,ny=3,x=1,y=1]{\externalfigure[xml-mkiv.pdf]}\stoptext</context></ref>

\clip[ny=3,y=1]{\color[yellow]{\MyLogo}}\clip[ny=3,y=2]{\color[orange]{\MyLogo}}\clip[ny=3,y=3]{\color[red]{\MyLogo}}

And here’s how to cut out a piece by measures (see also <{{cmd>|setupclipping</}} and {{cmd> and |clip}}): <cmdcontext source="yes">\clip[width=3cm, height=1cm, hoffset=1cm, voffset=5mm]{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]}</cmdcontext>  =Further reading= Graphic transformations are implemented in [https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/grph-trf.mkiv grph-trf.mkiv] and [https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/grph-trf.lua grph-trf.lua]. =Footnotes=
