Question: Images not from external file, but embedded in xml.

["Beer, Christian" <BE...@DIRON.de>]

Hi Foppers!

I'm new to fop and I am develloping a nice app, that works best!!
Fop is great!

Question: 
  I am using the tag <fo:external-graphic ...> to insert an image 
  into a pdf. Is it possible to embedd an image into the xml (as 
  base64 or something)?? I get my image out of a database and it
  would be greate if I didn't have to write it to a file.

Cheers
	Christian

Christian,

The fo:external-graphic can only have data from a url specified in the src
element, so unless you somehow make a url to your database you cannot use
this element.

An alternative would be to use svg. The svg image supports inline data
(encoded as base64).
