Scaling of background-image
I'm working on getting a block to use a background image, but it seems that when the image is inserted into the PDF, it's put in at some terribly low resolution. I'm trying to get the image to scale to fit the space of the block, but to no avail. Here's a quick snippet of the FO I'm using: fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=page-1 page-width=612pt page-height=792pt fo:region-body margin-top=54pt margin-bottom=54pt margin-left=54pt margin-right=36pt / /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-reference=page-1 fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block background-image=url(MO399Ver1med.jpg) width =522pt height=684pt fo:table table-layout=fixed The jpeg used in the background image is 1462x1982px, and I believe it's being put in the PDF at either 72 or 96 dpi, which causes the PDF to just show the upper left portion of the image. I saw that the FO spec includes the background-position-horizontal and background-position-vertical properties, which look like they'd fit the bill, but aren't implemented yet. I can create a full-page external-graphic using the height and width attributes, but anything else in my FO file flows on to the next page (of course...) I looked at creating a block-container, but it appears that FOP doesn't have any of the absolute positioning properties implemented yet, so I'm not sure how I can get a block on top of the full-page external-graphic. Does anyone have any ideas how to either specify the page size/scaling vector of a block's background-image, or how to overlay a block on top of a full-page external-graphic? I'd be most grateful for any pointers. -Jeff - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jeff, I'm working on getting a block to use a background image, but it seems that when the image is inserted into the PDF, it's put in at some terribly low resolution. I'm trying to get the image to scale to fit the space of the block, but to no avail. This worked. fo:block-container width=522pt height=684pt top=0cm left=0cm position=absolute fo:block fo:external-graphic src=url(MO399Ver1med.jpg) scaling=uniform/ /fo:block /fo:block-container fo:table ... top left properties are relative to the region it is in. Put it in the region-before flow(*) instead to get it right at the page top if you use margins. (*) or static-content to repeat on every page if it's a watermark.

RE: Scaling of background-image
Roland- And just as Jeff was preparing to leave work, a ray of light came down from the sky, and a voice spoke to him. 'Jeff', the voice said, 'I am Roland, the keeper of the knowledge of absolute positioning. Check your e-mail one last time before leaving.' And Jeff checked his e-mail, and saw that instructions had come in electronic format from on high. And Jeff did cut. And Jeff did paste. And Jeff did edit. And Jeff did finally call FOP and open the resulting PDF, and it was good. Thanks a million. That worked beautifully. Now I won't have to kick the dog (actually cat, as we don't have a dog) when I get home. -Jeff Roland Neilands [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ng.com.au cc: Subject: RE: Scaling of background-image 02/19/2003 04:39 PM Please respond to fop-user Jeff, I'm working on getting a block to use a background image, but it seems that when the image is inserted into the PDF, it's put in at some terribly low resolution.
