SVG Graphics in FOP
Hi Guys,
Any idea why when I'm using SVG to draw, it seems to have a whacky concept
of units if I use anything _other_ than no units at all?
I used a height of 55mm for instance and it seemed to take up several pages,
and my x/y co-ordinates were not consistent between lines and rectangles
either
Thanks
Martin

Yes, px is media dependant, so its usage is not recommended.

Hey Pascal -
Ill give that a go, (the instream sizing might help), trying to steer clear of pixels because I believe that it varies based on FOPs DPI setting and therefore would have mixed results on differing installations
Thanks!

Hi,
a good practice is to use the (viewBox, height, width) attribute set
on svg element;
you can leave all your size values without unit (defaulting to px or
pt, I don't remember).
... And explicitly add your preferred unit on both svg/@width and svg/@height.
Another option is to use FO content-* properties on
fo:instream-foreign-object or fo:external-graphic,
and leave svg/@width and svg/@height without unit.
<fo:block font-size="0pt">
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-height="24pt" content-width="48pt">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
viewBox="0 0 48 24" height="24pt" width="48pt">
<g style="fill: none; stroke:black; stroke-width:0.25;">
<line y2="12" x2="48" y1="12" x1="0"/>
<line y2="24" x2="24" y1="0" x1="24"/>
<circle r="6" cy="12" cx="24"/>
</g>
</svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>
