[Rick Quatro]

Hi Fred,

What happens if you don't include the width and height attributes?

Subject: importing graphics in xml file

I am importing xml files into structured framemaker 8 and these files
reference graphics using the following syntax:

<yfigure file = "../somefile.png" impsize = "3.183in 1.1in" impby = "ref"
sideways = "0" impang = "0.000" xoffset = "0.080in" yoffset = 
"0.0in" position = "runin" align = "aright"    cropped = "0" float = "0" 
width = "3.25in" height = "3.1in" angle = "0.000" bloffset = "0.000in" 
nsoffset = "0.000in"/>

I think I got this syntax by exporting a file and seeing what framemaker
created.

I am using an automated process to create the xml files that assumes all the
referenced graphics files are the same size. However, it turns out that they
really aren't. The result is that graphics files that don't fit impsize =
"3.183in 3.1in" get distorted.

What I would really like is to just say - import this file at such and such
a resolution and let it size automatically.

Does anyone know if there is a different syntax that can specify the
resolution instead of the dimensions of the imported graphic?

Fred
