[SPAM] Re: [docbook-apps] intrinsic size of images
I found the problem by validating a sample file 
  with the attributes you were trying to use.  The description in my book 
  has a typo.  Where it says contentheight, the attribute name is actually 
  contentdepth in DocBook.  When I validated, it pointed out that I had an 
  invalid attribute.  

  
 

  
If you are using FOP 0.93, then it works with the 
  right attribute name.  If you are using FOP 0.20.5, it is a known problem 
  that it does not handle image scaling correctly.

Hi Bob, 

 

I'd previously been working on upgrading our build from FOP 0.25 to 0.93, 
and have just picked up that project again. 

 

Everything is fine, apart from image sizes. It appears that the 
default behavior for graphics in fop 0.25 for PDF output (where no imagedata 
attributes are set), is:

 

* images that fit the width of the page are displayed at their intrinsic 
size, 

* images are too wide are shrunk to fit on the page. 

 

This worked fine for our purposes. However, in fop 0.93, all images are 
displayed at their "intrinsic" size, so any which are too wide simply flow off 
the page. 

 

Rather than having to set attributes for every single image (our docs 
contain a lot of screenshots), if there any customization possible which forces 
FOP .93 to mimic the FOP 0.25 treatment of images?

 

Thanks,
