docbook-apps

I have
<mediaobject >
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="images/pages.clock.svg" format="SVG"
width="436" depth="398"/> </imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>A clock diagram</phrase>
</textobject>

</mediaobject>

It renders well on Firefox 3.6
Yet when I build I get the message
[java] Failed to interpret image: images/pages.clock.svg

Is the message incorrect or ... is it something else?

If you're outputting to HTML you should consider doing it like this:

<mediaobject>
<imageobject role="fo">
<imagedata format="SVG" scale="75"
fileref="Graphics/cluster-general.svg" align="center"
scalefit="1"/></imageobject>
<imageobject role="html">
<imagedata format="PNG" scale="90"
fileref="Graphics/cluster-general.png" align="center"/></imageobject>
</mediaobject>

I found that IE8 doesn't render SVG at all and Chrome puts a box around
each one such that you have horizontal and vertical scroll bars .. but
that could be due to the fact our HTML must fit into a 600 pixel
horizontal space.

You will find the above if you search Stayton's book for "svg".

I can create the png form if needed, but I'm concerned about
the error (if it is such).

I'm wondering if Bobs pages are out of date here?
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SVGimages.html
I do recall 'prompting' the IE user to get/install the svg viewer from
Adobe. Not sure if that's still available. Then the reader would know
something was amiss.


SVG is so much better than bit-mapped though.

SVG viewer is EOL:

http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/

There could likely be more to it, such as what exact format you do your
SVG in. Adobe Illustrator has 9 or 10 different combinations of options,
at least.

I don't touch Adobe products, I'm on Linux.
Source is Inkscape, save as plain SVG


I was surprised how badly Chrome messes it up though. Shows, but in a
scroll bar fashion vertically.

I haven't gotten around to trying out svgweb [1] with DocBook content yet, but it looks to me like the most promising solution to the problem.

Why the heck can't they just do SVG David?
But yes, as a hack it can't be bad. Or
does that presume that they all use the
same ??? of javascript.
