Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Attributes for figures

[Alain NAKACHE <alain@cal.fr>]

It is a good approach of boxed figures but the box is as large as the whole

I know that the difficulty is to guess the bounds of the picture (whatever 
the format is) to define closely the block.

Is it possible to obtain this result ?
