PDF graphics

I have searched for a better set of documentation for 'fop' so I can understand the formatting better but have been unable to find a detailed doc.

I am trying to put graphics into my pdf document but am not able to figure out the syntax. I understand that I would have to use the following tags:

<fo:display-graphic></fo:display-graphic> 

Where do I put the source for the graphic.

Thanks
Jim

Would Apache's FOP be of interest to you?
try http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html for more info

Search for info on XSL Formatting Objects.  XSL is currently
in a "last call" state, as noted here:
http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/
The current draft spec relating to formatting objects is here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo-section

Web searches for info on FOs yield suprizingly sparse
results.  The Cover Pages include some notes on FOs:
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xsl.html
And some info on FO implementations at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xslSoftware.html

I just checked my two XML books: "XML Bible" has a chapter
on FOs, "Professional XML" doe not have anything in its
index.  And implementations of FOs are even rarer.  FO's are
still pretty new territory.

Enjoy,
KC
