I have had similar problems in the past but have solved them with the
following:
<!-- ============== Flipping a figure 90 degrees - Landscape
==================
Use it this way
<figure>
<?landscapeFigure?><title>My figure title</title>
...
</figure>
-->
<xsl:template match="figure[processing-instruction('landscapeFigure')]">
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="90"
margin-left="0in" margin-right="0in"
margin-top="0.25in" margin-bottom="0in"
padding-top="0in" padding-bottom="0in" display-align="before">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</fo:block-container>
</xsl:template>
This doesn't look much different from yours, but the scale-to-fit come all
the way through for me. I am using FOP 1.0. I have another similar template
that is for tables but leaves off the "display-align". On tables the
"pgwide=1" does work, but not with figures
Also, the placement of the PI is very important - right after "figure".

Hi,
I have a couple of big pictures which would fit nicely on a a4-page in
landscape - orientation. To do so, I used a processing instruction as
described in Mr. Stayton's book _here_
(http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/LandscapeImage.html) . The problem seems
that some attributes given to <figure> and
<imageobject> does not have an effect to the rendered PDF. I even managed
to replace the attribute to figure, pgwide="1", which seems to be
ineffective because it's is going to the <fo:block> but not to the
<fo:block-container>. That was easy since you just have to put the
start-indent="0"
attribute to this wrapper in the customization layer like that:
<xsl:template match="d:figure[processing-instruction('landscapeFigure')]">
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="90" start-indent="0"
width="100%" height="auto">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</fo:block-container>
</xsl:template>
Problem is now that the scalefit="1" - attribute to the <imagedata> -
element does not go through to the generated .fo so the picture is still far
to
big. If the fo file would look like that:
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="90" start-indent="0"
width="100%" height="auto"><fo:block start-indent="0pt">
<fo:block space-before.minimum="0.5em" space-before.optimum="1em"
space-before.maximum="2em" space-after.minimum="0.5em"
space-after.optimum="1em"
space-after.maximum="2em" keep-together.within-column="auto" id="d0e159">
<fo:block space-before.optimum="1em" space-before.minimum="0.8em"
space-before.maximum="1.2em" font-weight="bold" font-size="12pt"
hyphenate="false"
space-after.minimum="0.4em" space-after.optimum="0.6em"
space-after.maximum="0.8em" font-family="inherit"
keep-with-next.within-column="always">Description</fo:block>
<fo:block id="d0e166"><fo:external-graphic
src="url(Pictures/MessageFlow.png)" width="100%" height="auto"
content-width="scale-to-fit"
content-height="100%"/></fo:block></fo:block></fo:block></fo:block-container>
then the picture would fit on the page perfectly.
Is there a possibility to reach the scale-to-fit - instruction through or
give it in the customization layer?
Any answer is appreciated.

Benno
