Image path

[Nigel Hardy <nw...@aber.ac.uk>]

I am using 0.7 and org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf.

I am using the pdf output on some fo of my own (rather than using 
"document" etc.)

The fo contains an <fo:external-graphic> element. The src attribute has 
a relative filename. If I run an fo processor (FOP) outside Forrest the 
graphics file is found. It is not found under Forrest. If the src 
attribute is an absolute filename (or an http URL) it is found.

Absolute pathnames will be difficult to generate.

Any suggestions? Is there a switch somewhere? Is there a Forrest 
shorthand for "PWD"?

I have solved my own problem.

They are not. I have used <parameter> in the <transform> element of the 
map and told the xslt where to find the images. Simple really ;-)
