This is how it used to work: o anywhere in FOP formatting
- load image, if same URL was not loaded before and find out the space needed for the image. - keep list of processed files. o PDF Renderer: - generate XObject, if XObject of same URL was not generated before. Delete image buffer: partial image cleanup only? - keep list of generated XObjects. - reference/reuse the XObject as often as required in content streams, scaled to different sizes A simple design: o FOP formatting determines space needed = partial reading of image files o Renderers control image processing according to their needs. The PDF renderer does not need any caching: maximum 1 image in memory at a time. - additional attributes for external-graphic might be helpful, e.g. resolution, color model - Isolation image processing in renderers will solve SVG caching more easily.
