Question

Rotating graphics in FO and Epic

We're still playing (sic) with the 40051-2A (style sheets for the -1A electronic TMs are a later task) style sheets.

What we're having a problem with is getting a graphic to rotate if it is too wide to fit in portrait mode. We're not trying to rotate the page set, just the graphic.

One potential problem we've had is that the 40051 DTD dropped the 'rotation' attribute from <graphic> in late 2003. We've reinstated it for testing but it still not recognized by the FO.

Anyone who isn't still overly stuffed from Thanksgiving have any words of wisdom?

Thanks

Lynn

    We still use SGML for our PDF output DTD. We edit in XML and transform using DSSSL to an SGML DTD for PDF output using Print Composer.
    I also have a copy of Dan's "SGML At Work" book. There is a CD in the back of the book along with some other "heavy-paper" pages, so maybe that's why I thought there was a pin in there.

    Still have your book on the shelf, and I do refer to it from time to
    time. It's sitting in between Maler's "Developing SGML DTDs" (still use
    regularly), and Goldfarb's "SGML Handbook" (used to cure insomnia, along
    with the 28001 spec) 😉

    Did I say I used it? I have a large collection of SGML and XML books here in
    the office. Most I've learned from through osmosis. 😄

    No, I actually have gone through it, but not recently.

    Darn that sounds almost as bad as what we did at the shipyard when I was
    there. Authored in one of two or three SGML DTDs then used Omnivison to
    convert it to a generic DTD for publishing through XYvision's print engine.

    I thin you were the first person I heard from that had the book. Looks
    like it is in good company.
