I have the following problem with two RAGS figures in the online
version of a large manual. The figures are small; in both the
online and postscript versions, 3.5 and 4 picas are the height
arguments. The figures print appropriately in the hardcopy version.
In the online version, however, a popup window the same height as
the screen appears with a scroll bar. When you scroll to the bottom,
you see the figure. Any suggestions? Could this be a problem with
the RAGS file? Why wouldn't the height of the figure argument
override it or produce some kind of message in the LOG file?
Thanks,
Eliot

Can you gives us versions of Rags, Document, Online tools, and
Decwindows you're using. For online pop-up figures the size of the
figure is used to size the pop-up window. It could be the rags file
isn't cropped or if it is in a previous version of rags the header
information was getting scrambled when an image was cropped.

| 208.2 | Problem solved with cropping | AITG::GOLDMAN | Thu Oct 12 1989 14:32 | 11 | |
I changed the cropping of the RAGS figure and that solved the problem.
This would seem to indicate that 208.1's statement that for online
pop-up figures the size of the figure is used to size the pop-up
window means that the height of the figure in pixels argument is
either ignored or overridden.
I'm awaiting information from the artist about the RAGS version. The
book was built with DOCUMENT V1.2. It was displayed in the V2
Bookreader and the online device converter was 1.0 V1.

| 208.3 | the size is from the figure | STAR::KRAETSCH | NeXt Window Please | Fri Oct 13 1989 11:13 | 8 |
The size you specify in the .sdml file is the amount of space Document will reserve for the figure. This is more important for inline figures than for popups. The device converter determines the size from the RAGS file header. This should help explain why cropping the RAGS figure helped. Moreover, you should be aware that the figure sizes for the RAGS or FSE are not always the same as the postscript sizes. joe | |||||
