Re: [docbook-apps] rotate figures with a pi

Hi Benno,

Not sure what is going on here.

Can you show exactly what the <figure> 
element with its <imagedata> element looks like (including all input 
attributes), as well as the fo output that you are getting that is not 
correct?  Also, what version of the stylesheets are you using?  
Thanks.

Subject: [docbook-apps] rotate figures 
  with a pi

  

Hi,
I have a couple of big pictures which would fit nicely 
  on a a4-page in landscape - orientation. To do so, I used a processing 
  instruction as described in Mr. Stayton's book here. The 
  problem seems that some attributes given to <figure> and 
  <imageobject> does not have an effect to the rendered PDF. I even 
  managed to replace the attribute to figure, pgwide="1", which seems to be 
  ineffective because it's is going to the <fo:block> but not to the 
  <fo:block-container>. That was easy since you just have to put the 
  start-indent="0" attribute to this wrapper in the customization layer like 
  that:

  <xsl:template 
    match="d:figure[processing-instruction('landscapeFigure')]">
     
    <fo:block-container reference-orientation="90" start-indent="0" 
    width="100%" height="auto">
        
    <xsl:apply-imports/>
     
    </fo:block-container>
</xsl:template>

Problem 
  is now that the scalefit="1" - attribute to the <imagedata> - element 
  does not go through to the generated .fo so the picture is still far to big. 
  If the fo file would look like that:

   <fo:block-container reference-orientation="90" 
    start-indent="0" width="100%" height="auto"><fo:block 
    start-indent="0pt">
 <fo:block space-before.minimum="0.5em" 
    space-before.optimum="1em" space-before.maximum="2em" 
    space-after.minimum="0.5em" space-after.optimum="1em" 
    space-after.maximum="2em" keep-together.within-column="auto" 
    id="d0e159">
 <fo:block space-before.optimum="1em" 
    space-before.minimum="0.8em" space-before.maximum="1.2em" font-weight="bold" 
    font-size="12pt" hyphenate="false" space-after.minimum="0.4em" 
    space-after.optimum="0.6em" space-after.maximum="0.8em" 
    font-family="inherit" 
    keep-with-next.within-column="always">Description</fo:block>
 <fo:block 
    id="d0e166"><fo:external-graphic src="" 
    width="100%" height="auto" content-width="scale-to-fit" 
    content-height="100%"/></fo:block></fo:block></fo:block></fo:block-container>

  

then the picture would fit on the page perfectly.
Is there a 
  possibility to reach the scale-to-fit - instruction through or give it in the 
  customization layer?

Any answer is 
  appreciated.

Regards,
Benno
