Re: [docbook-apps] Fo and SVG

[deannelson <deannelson@aol.com>]

Tom,

 

I use SVG files in my formal figures and they work very well. However, if you are using FOP, you need to install a addon package so that FOP can deal with the SVG natively. The package I use is "fop-pdf-images". Its a jar file that gets put in the FOP classpath.

 

So this is how it looks as a figure:

<figure>
      <title>Basic XML Documentation Flow</title>

      <mediaobject>
            <imageobject role="fo">
                  <imagedata align="center" fileref="basicFlow.svg" width="5in" format="SVG" />
            </imageobject>
            <imageobject role="html">
                  <imagedata align="center" fileref="basicFlow.png" width="5in" format="PNG" />
            </imageobject>
      </mediaobject>

</figure>

 

Regards,

Dean Nelson

I am using fop for pdf output.  I have successfully used svg images in my fo covers using docbook customizations with specific fo output.

Now I want to use svg images in figures.  Has anyone done a docbook customization to do the "right thing" for using svg image files as formal figures?

Thanks.
