problem with image
Hello all,
I'm having problems inserting one parfticular image on my document. I'm
using: forrest 0.5.1, document-v12.dtd.
The line that causes problems is (the 'figure' item):
----------------------------
previous text</p>
<figure src="images/tubos.gif" alt=""/>
<p>next text...
--------------------------
If I comment it out it works fine.
The error messagem I get is (the fop part):
----------------------------------------------------
* [0] 0.025s 1.1Kb hello.pdf
* [0] 0.029s 2.8Kb skin/page.css
X [0] samples/sample.pdf BROKEN:
org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: No meaningful layout in block after
many attempts. Infinite loop is assumed. Processing halted.
* [27] 0.175s 12.3Kb samples/ehtml-sample.html
---------------------------------------------------
I have another image in the document that works fine...
Any hints ?
thx

I can confirm this suspicion, seen this before. What is basically going
on here is that FOP is unable to place this image in a sensible
position. Try rescaling the picture or limit the width/height manually.

I'm not sure if this is the same symptoms or not, search the user
archives and the issue tracker for more info, but...
There are reported problems with large images in PDF documents. Is this
image particularly large?

"head" refers to the "head" of the source code version control system.
So when someone says "PROJECT_NAME head" they mean the current
development version from version control as opposed to a released version.

Sorry I didn't originally reply on-list:
I've been struggling with this exact same problem, please see
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-413. Briefly, I found that I
received that ugly error when I had tall, thin image. Through trial-n-error
I found if your height is greater than 540px and your image is thinner than
451px, you get the error. The easy work-around is to make it either shorter
or fatter, but the minimum ratio seems to be 540:451. As to why this works,
I don't really know.
Incidentally, I'm using Forrest Head.

Is the image large? 'alt' is the only required attribute, but I seem to
recall that the fop transformation sometimes need the height and width
attributes to figure out how to scale an image...
