Title: Re: [docbook-apps] sizing
images

Thank you! So in order to render an image at 4 inches wide, we
would use:

<mediaobject id="figure1"
xreflabel="Figure1">

         
       
<imageobject>
       
       
       
<imagedata entityref="fig1"
align="center"
 width="4in." />
       
       
       
</imageobject>

<textobject><phrase> Types of alternative splicing
figure

1</phrase></textobject>

         
       
&fig1legend;

       
       
</mediaobject>

What size should the image be (in inches, for example)? The same
size as we want it, in order to maintain resolution?

Thanks!

Hello
Lisa,
My
experience is that the current version of FOP has limited support for
image sizing properties.  I have found that using the DocBook
width attribute with a number and length unit (not percent) is the
only thing that works.  With other XSLFO processors you have more
options.

Dear List Members,

We are trying to size JPEG, PNG and EPS images for HTML
and PDF. We would like the images to appear approx. 4 or 6 inches
wide. The software we are using is:
Mac OSX, Docbook XSL 1.67.2, Docbook XML 4.4CR2, Saxon
6.5.3,
FOP 0.20.5,Firefox 1.0.3, and Adobe Acrobat Reader
7.0.
Our current markup, where we are placing a figure
is
<mediaobject id="figure1"
xreflabel="Figure1">

         
       
<imageobject>

  
       
       
<imagedata entityref="fig1"
align="center"/>

   
       
       
</imageobject>

<textobject><phrase> Types of alternative splicing figure
1</phrase></textobject>

        
       
&fig1legend;
       
       
</mediaobject>

Could you tell me how we might modify this markup to size
the figures? One possibility I came across would be to modify the
existing above markup with scale fit, width to look like:
<mediaobject id="figure1"
xreflabel="Figure1">

         
       
<imageobject>

  
       
       
<imagedata entityref="fig1"
align="center"

scalefit="1", width="100%"
contentheight="100%"/>

    
       
       
</imageobject>

<textobject><phrase> Types of alternative splicing
figure

1</phrase></textobject>

         
       
&fig1legend;
       
       
</mediaobject>
and then we would create the image files at the size we
would like them to be.

Thank you in advance,
Lisa Girard
