My experience is that the current version
of FOP has limited support for image sizing properties. I have found that
using the DocBook width attribute with a number and length unit (not percent) is
the only thing that works. With other XSLFO processors you have more
options.

Subject: [docbook-apps] sizing
images
Dear List Members,
We are trying to size JPEG, PNG and EPS images for HTML and PDF. We would
like the images to appear approx. 4 or 6 inches wide. The software we are
using is:
Mac OSX, Docbook XSL 1.67.2, Docbook XML 4.4CR2, Saxon 6.5.3,
FOP 0.20.5,Firefox 1.0.3, and Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.
Our current markup, where we are placing a figure is
<mediaobject id="figure1"
xreflabel="Figure1">
<imageobject>
<imagedata entityref="fig1"
align="center"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject><phrase> Types of
alternative splicing figure
1</phrase></textobject>
&fig1legend;
</mediaobject>
Could you tell me how we might modify this markup to size the figures?
One possibility I came across would be to modify the existing above markup
with scale fit, width to look like:
<mediaobject id="figure1" xreflabel="Figure1">
<imageobject>
<imagedata entityref="fig1" align="center"
scalefit="1",
width="100%" contentheight="100%"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject><phrase> Types of
alternative splicing
figure
1</phrase></textobject>
&fig1legend;
</mediaobject>
and then we would create the image files at the size we would like them
to be.
Thank you in advance,
Lisa Girard
