Yes Bob. But would this work for both PDF and HTML? Most people are saying to keep two sets of graphics for both html and pdf. But that's lots of work. I wanted to use the same image for both html and pdf, and possible add a pop-up scaling for my html stylesheet.

I await your final input regarding width="5.25in" for both html and pdf.

You should use width="5.25in" to set the viewport area reserved for the graphic, and then scale="50" will make it half that size.  The contentwidth attribute specifies the size of the output image.  In your example, the contentwidth attribute is overriding the scale attribute.  See the second-to-last bullet item in this section:

Subject: [docbook-apps] Image Scaling

Hello I am trying to scale an image to "50%" of a "5.25in" page margin. Below is the code.

<figure>
<title>Video Logix</title>
<graphic fileref="images/04_VideoLogix.png" scale="50" contentwidth="5.25in"/>
</figure>

The problem is that the image is not scalling at all it's only rendering to the full 5.25in defined in contentwidth. Am I doing something wrong? I even use <imagedata/> instead of <graphic/> and that still didn't work. What am I doing wrong.

Please help.

Thanks.
