Hi,
I handle this problem as follows: Before calling XEP, I call a
little Perl script that uses Image Alchemy to determine the
dimensions (in pixel) and resolution of each image file. Based
on this, the script calculates the width and height (in cm) of
each graphic and stores the result in an xml-file.
For each graphic, my stylesheet reads the graphic width and height
from this xml-file and compares it with the print area width and
height. If the image exceeds the print area, the stylesheet computes
a scale factor for width and height and uses the lesser of these
values for both content-width and content-height.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Matthias

Subject: [xep-support] scale-when-image-is-too-big
Hello there,
I work with XSL FO files everynow and then, and mostly use FOP. Well not
everything is supported in fop so I started using XEP.
Great results...except for my graphics.
To my surprise I read that Xep currently doesn't support
content-width="scale-to-fit". For most of my publications this is essential.
Actually I do not want to scale if my image is small enough to fit, but I do
want to scale when my image is too large, so one could say scale-to-fit is
not a real solution either :-)
I'm looking for a "scale-when-image-is-too-big" sort of solution.
Has any of you have some relevant experience with scaling images in XEP and
maybe you can give me some pointers here.
I can't be the only one having this problem.... can I ?
Grtz
Ronald
