531.0. "<figure_file> wish list item" by COOKIE::JOHNSTON () Fri Jun 19 1987 12:12

Is it possible that <figure_file>(line_printer\SPACE\size) could be 
enhanced so that it could also accept a file and interpret it as line 
art?  Hence the following code processed for line_printer, terminal, or 
mail might produce the figure shown:

<figure>
<figure_file>(line_printer\box.text\5)
<figure_file>(ln03\fancier_box.six\5)
<endfigure>

531.1As long as we're wishing...GNUVAX::LIBRARIANLooking at the big skyFri Jun 19 1987 14:599
    
    Is there any way to call in a figure with the <figure_file> tag and
    _not_ have Document add any space around the figure? If not currently
    possible, I'd like to put this on the wishlist. There are times when
    one would like to call in an un-captioned figure and not have the two
    pica space added. Maybe a future <figure_attribute> ?

    It would have to be a future item. In V1.0, however, the figure
    tags have been modified so that spacing pre and post graphic figures
    is a DESIGN file parameter.
