Hi Benno,
I think this is an issue with FOP. The output
looks correct when processed with RenderX's XEP and Antenna House XSL
Formatter.
I'm still not quite clear on what you mean when you
say that "some of the attributes are not reached through". Exactly which
attributes and where did you expect them to appear? You mentioned
start-indent, but I would not have expected the start-indent="0" from
pgwide="1" to be put on your fo:block-container since that is a customization
you added. Your customization needs to add any properties it needs.
Nothing inherits outward, only inward in the hierarchy.
I don't see any other attributes that are not
properly passed though. In your original
mail, you highlighted the content-width="scale-to-fit" property in your FO
output, but that actually is being output by the stylesheet.
You might try using the free version of XEP to see
if produces the results you want, and then raise the issue with the FOP group if
it cannot duplicate that result.

figures with a pi
Hi,
thanks for the replies, unfortunately Dean Nelsons
solution did not work either.
So here is what I use and get out of
it:
Input.xml:
<figure
pgwide="1">
<?landscapeFigure?>
<title>Message
Flow</title>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="Pictures/MessageFlow.png" width="100%"
contentdepth="100%"
scalefit="1"/>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
</figure>
Customization.xsl:
<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>
Input.fo:
<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="d0e172">
<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">
Figure 2. Message
Flow
</fo:block>
<fo:block
id="d0e179">
<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>
As I said, the problem is that some of the attributes are not
reached through, which is why I had to put the fo-attribute
start-indent="0"
in my customized
template to make sure the fo:block-container gets this information as well
(one can see that the original fo:block still has it, but it has no effect
since fo:block-container is wrapped around). Somehow, these attributes
have no effect, at least not with my setup, which is: DocBook XSL
1.75.2 Saxon 6.5.5 FOP 1.0 Don't know if it is important, but I
use oXygen 11.2 to process the docs. Since technical
documentation tend to have more big pictures like flow charts, toolchains and
such, I think it would make sense to put in a landscape attribute, like the
one for tables, for pictures as well. Anyway, many thanks for any
help. Regards, Benno

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
