Tom A couple of things: 1. check the FO output to see what that area looks like. With the example I used, here is the output: <fo:block id="id522069" text-align="center"> <fo:external-graphic src="url(images/basicFlow.svg)" width="5in" height="auto" content-width="scale-to-fit" content-height="scale-to-fit" content-type="content-type:image/svg+xml" text-align="center"/> </fo:block> Make sure the image/svg+xml shows up.
2. Try adding the 'format="SVG" ' to the imagedata line <imagedata align="center" fileref="basicFlow.svg" width="5in" format="SVG" /> Dean Dean In a message dated 12/02/10 12:14:55 Pacific Standard Time, tom.brow...@gmail.com writes: On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 14:09, deannelson <deannel...@aol.com> wrote: > Tom > What actual problem are you having? Dean, I'm using db 5 and fop 1.0 on Ubuntu and get the following error: Dec 2, 2010 2:05:08 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent SEVERE: Image not available. URI: ./images/era-1.svg. Reason: org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.ImageException: The file format is not supported. No ImagePreloader found for ./images/era-1.svg (See position 25375:172) Dec 2, 2010 2:05:08 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent SEVERE: Image not found. URI: ./images/era-1.svg. (No context info available) My docbook code looks pretty much like that that has been shown here. Here's my db source for the problem figure: <figure id="era-1"> <title>A section of a typical Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) device</title> <mediaobject> <imageobject role='html'> <imagedata align='center' width='5.5in' scalefit='1' fileref="./images/era-1-96dpi.png" /><!-- was: width='100%' --> </imageobject> <imageobject role='fo'> <imagedata align='center' width='5.5in' scalefit='1' fileref="./images/era-1.svg" /> </imageobject> </mediaobject> </figure> Thanks. -Tom
