Re: [docbook-apps] Fitting tall images in PDF

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Mark,
I'm not sure you can do that with XSL-FO.  It works for width because an 
image is not competing with other content for width space.  So defining 
width="100%" means the dedicated viewport is 100% of the width of the 
page between margins, and the image is located within that viewport, 
sized down to fit if necessary.

If you set depth="100%", you are creating a viewport that is the height 
of the remaining space on the page, not the whole page.  So the height 
of that viewport depends on what precedes the image on the page.
