No width or depth used for MetaPost output files

[Steinar Bang]

Version: db2latex CVS update from earlier today

If I have <imageobject> elements for MetaPost PostScript files, depth
or width attributes aren't transferred to the resulting
\includegraphics command in the TeX files.

Using the scale attribute works, though.

You will need to supply a DocBook example.

Are you missing scalefit="1"?

Er, yes. So I was. Sorry.

With a scalefit="1" attribute on the <imageobject>, either width or
depth are used as \includegraphics command arguments. If both width
and depth are in place, only width is used in \includegraphics.

If both width and depth are in place, only width is used in
\includegraphics.

One day, on our way toward implementing imagedata for DocBook 2, this
will get fixed. However, it still might not do what you want.
<http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/imagedata.html> says:
"If scaling to fit is requested, the content area is scaled until
either the content width is the same as the viewport width (and the
content depth is less than or equal to the viewport depth) or the
content depth is the same as the viewport depth (and the content width
is less than or equal to the viewport width), whichever comes first. In
other words, scaling to fit never causes anamorphic scaling, it simply
scales the image as large as possible without overflowing the bounds of
the viewport area."
