Rotating External-Graphic
Hello World, I actually create a XSL:FO file an are now facing a little problem. Many thanks in advance, if you could help me with this. I have many EPS graphic files to include in the document. Because of the dimension of the pages, the EPS files need to be rotated. I see two possibilities to do this: A) Rotating the EPS graphics inside the XSL:FO -- is there any attribute to do this in fo:external-graphic or any other higher element? I have not found any yet. B) Rotating the EPS graphics with an image editor... This would be o.k. for me because I need the files only once. Does anybody of you know an image editor that can rotate EPS files within a batch-job? I tried ACDsee and Freehand trials. ACDsee can rotate multiple images at the same time, but cannot handle with EPS. Freehand can rotate EPS, but not as a macro or batch. Do you have any ideas? There are too many EPS to rotate them manually. Thank you very much and hava a nice day Ralph - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Rotating External-Graphic
Three ideas: 1. Create a small PostScript program that embeds an EPS file and rotates it as desired. Then run the PS program through GhostScript and use the EPS writer. This can easily be automated with script languages and a minimum of programming knowhow. 2. Requires some programming knowledge: You could write a small program that rewrites the EPS files (they're text and easy to parse) to appear rotated. 3. Maybe there are some EPS to SVG converters that you could use. SVG can easily be rotated inside an SVG wrapper.
