Hi Gerrit,

I believe we do that in the CSS. JATS tries to stay away from real life things like page numbers, so why would it need fixed size? I think we also occasionally see the need to record an original size, if only for knowing the aspect ratio. There is always SQL then, where we would record additional info.

Best,
Pieter

Hi JATS/BITS/STS people,

How do you encode widths or heights of <graphic> and <inline-graphic> onjects?

I'm primarily interested in conveying the desired widths or heights to a renderer, in units such as em, mm, %, or px, or as unitless decimal numbers.

The <inline-graphic> objects aren't characters, so I can't use private-char/glyph-data/@x-size etc.

Or asked this way: Does anyone know why @x-size and @y-size aren't allowed on graphic and inline-graphic? Width and height attributes on images and other media objects are common in other vocabularies.
