Using command/macro as an optional argument
I have a bunch of images to include and want to use the same clip parameters on them. The approach I'm taking doesn't seem to work though:
This works:
includegraphics[clip,trim=0 0 80px 80px, width=xtextwidth]{image}
This doesn't:
newcommandx{.22}
newcommandmytrim{0 0 80px 80px}
includegraphics[clip,trim=mytrim, width=xtextwidth]{image}
^ ^- Does work
^- Doesn't work
What am I doing wrong?

the syntax 0.5textwidth is built in to tex so a length setting of xtextwidth where x is a factor such as 0.5 just works naturally, however the macros behind trim key needs to parse the space separated list "by hand" and mytrim doesn't have any spaces until it is expanded.

So is there any alternative? Or is there no way around copy/paste in this instance?

@argentum2f oh lots of things you could do but you provided very little context and no test file, you could donewcommandzz[1]{includegraphics[clip,trim=0 0 80px 80px, width=.22textwidth]{#1}for example thenzz{image1} zz{image2}
