Page Layout ⇒ Split included Graphics

[kornaros]

I have to comment some scanned (A4 size) old book in maths. The problem is the following. I start an A4 LaTeX document. Then I insert some comments (lets say 5-10 lines of text) and then put the fist A4 photo exactly under the comments. Then I continue with some new comments and then insert the next scanned page.... Is it possible to define a new command let say of the form \split{image.jpg} or \split["splitting point"]{image.jpg} that automatically splits the scanned page "image.jpg" to the current and to the next page (maybe without any loss of information i.e some parts of the image.jpg near the "splitting point" are duplicated in the next page) or manually splits the photo at the "splitting point"?

Thanks

The graphicx package offers some options to cut and clip included graphics to the desired part (like trim or viewpoint). So you can include the same graphics file with different segments.

Thanks for your replay! Is it possible to make this automatically with the help of a new command like \split{image.jpg} ? If I understand well the command has to measure the horizontal space left from the point where I want to insert the image.jpg to the bottom of the current page so that to use it to properly split the image in two parts. Is it possible to have such a distance?
