Hello Roger,
we use a setting where (almost) all elements are controlled by
FrameMaker:
element "Graphic" {
is fm graphic element;
}
element "I.Graphic" {
is fm graphic element;
attribute "file" is fm property file;
}
This works very well, here an example for the XML output/input of a
Graphic element:
<Graphic file="symbols\caution.jpg" align="aoutside" angle="0.000"
bloffset="-0.45in" cropped="0" float="0" height="0.45in"
nsoffset="0.000in" position="inline" width="1.550in" impang="0.000"
impby="copy" impsize="0.495in 0.428in" sideways="0" xoffset="0.9in"
yoffset="0.0in"></Graphic>
-------------
I do not see an error in your definitions. But you are adding many
definitions that may be redundant -- as you can see, "align", "height",
"position" and "width" do not need a special treatment.
Maybe you should start anew with the smallest possible, working setting
-- just trying to find out, what FrameMaker does in the import/export
and then adjusting it step by step.
