Hi All,
Note: If I apply the transform immediately after I create the symbol:
$symbol:=DOM Create XML
element($defs;"image";"id";$name;"xlink:href";$image;"x";0;"y";0;"width";$width;"height";$height)
SVG_SET_TRANSFORM_SCALE ($symbol;18/$width;18/$height)
That seems to work and would be fine if all I needed were uniform sizes in the
doc. In this example I am resizing them so they are 18 by 18 pixels. But as
indicated previously the end user can set a size property to enlarge or shrink
these sizes for the same symbol in different parts of the doc. So I need to
resize and reposition where they are actually used.
Not sure if this is a clue or…
