Ok, thanks for the reply!

This is the background to my question:
I'm working on an application where we have an image markup tool that lets the 
user put a message somewhere on the image. The message is stored together with 
the coordinates of where on the image it is placed.

Now, when we run the report, I want the message to be displayed on top of the 
image in the correct place. I want this to work even if the picture has been 
scaled down to fit the paper.

To place the text on the correct place, I have to compare the intrinsic 
dimensions of the image with the fixed dimensions of the image in the report, 
to correctly place the message on top.

I currently have a working solution for this, but it is not very good from a 
performance perspective: Before running the report I download the image and get 
the dimensions using Sanselan and I send these dimensions to the report. If I 
could profit from the image cache, that would of course be great. But I'm not 
really sure how I could write my own extension to do this.

Another solution to my problem would be if I somehow could find out by how much 
the image was scaled. Is that possible to find out? (In a simple way :)

Erik,
you can "preload" the image using the XML Graphics Commons image loading
framework (which FOP uses, too):
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/image-loader.html#preloading

The ImageInfo object will then contain the intrinsic size. You can use
the ImageManager from the FopFactory and probably re-use the
ImageSessionContext from the FOUserAgent:
ImageManager imageManager = fopFactory.getImageManager();
ImageSessionContext imageSessionContext = foUserAgent.getImageSessionContext();

This allows you to profit from the image cache.

What you do with the values and where exactly you want to write it in
the PDF is a different question. I don't know what you have in mind here.
Do you want to print the values on the page along with the image? Sounds
like an XSLT extension then.
