294.0. "Width of pop-up figures" by UTROFF::OOSTENDE () Fri Mar 09 1990 10:25

    Hello,
    
    I have a book with a lot of figures that 
    were created with UTOX. In the online version, many pop-up figures
    are too big for the standard figure frame. To be able to view them 
    completely, I have to expand the frame. I don't want to do that 
    all the time. Does anyone know how I can set the width of pop-up 
    figures in online documentation? (Maybe this is determined by the 
    VAX DOCUMENT doctype?)
    
    Best regards,
    
    Martin

    I think we need a little more information here. What version of everything 
    are you using?  (Utox, Document, etc.) How have you got the figures coded?
    Figure widths are determined by the data that is stored in the header of
    the figure file. The only limits are the size of the screen they're 
    displayed on anything wider and you have to use the scroll bars.

    Also, are these formal or informal figures?

    Sorry that I forgot to include the version information!
    
    I'm using UTOX V3.0-1 (5-OCT-89), VAX DOCUMENT V1.1,
    bookbuilding tools 20-MAR-89 baselevel.
    
    The figures in the SDML files are coded as follows:
    
    <FIGURE>(Het Noordamerikaanse toetsenbord\north_am_fig)
    <FIGURE_FILE>(bookreader\zk-5337.decw$bookfig\104.8)
    <ENDFIGURE>
    
    In this example, "104.8" only sets the vertical spacing of the figure, 
    doesn't it? The figure is very large, and if I want to view it
    completely, I have to expand its pop-up window significantly (in 
    horizontal direction). 
    I don't want that. I want it to fit between the borders of 
    the pop-up window. Does the figure have to be rescaled, and if
    so, how do I know what horizontal space I should use?
    What is the width (horizontal space) of the standard (initial) 
    pop-up window?

    Martin,
    
    I have just added note 297 to this notes conference which provides
    general information about the sizing of Bookreader windows. I hope
    that's helpful.
    
    I am not sure if the figure could be successfully rescaled: you
    should consult with the artist about that.
