748.0. "PICMODE FIGURE CAPTION MISSING" by PUGET::SIPE () Tue Aug 04 1987 13:48

    Have been trying to add a PICMODE file as a figure into a document.
    Everything seems to work just fine with one major exception, there
    is NO caption at the top of the figure.  We are running V1.0 of
    Document.  The SDML file is being processed using the General doctype.
    The SDML file is shown below.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    
    
    <FIGURE>(Hardcopy LARS Routing\LARS)
    <FIGURE_ATTRIBUTES>(FLOAT)
    <FIGURE_SPACE>(24)
    <INCLUDE_TEX_FILE>([SIPE.DOCUMENT.EVENT.PHASE0]LARS.TEX)
    <ENDFIGURE>

748.1No answer, but a question...CHAPLN::ROSENTHALTwenty days and counting...Mon Aug 10 1987 15:1216
    
    Jim,
    
    I don't have an answer, but do have a question:  in your
    <INCLUDE_TEX_FILE>, you say [directory_spec]filename.TEX.
    
    Don't you get an error that says something like,
    "Can't find file filename.TEX.TEX"
    
    I've tacked the .TEX extension on the file specification
    before and got that error...
    
    ...eternally curious...

748.2Remove <FIGURE_SPACE>CLOSET::ANKLAMTue Aug 11 1987 15:1923
    
    The file-spec doesn't appear to be the problem. However:
    
    1. You should be getting a message from the text formatter that
       says 'an included tex file is not allowed to float'. I think
       that this error may be what is keeping the caption from coming out.
    
    2. Also, is the <figure_space>(24) there because of something you
       want to paste in? <INCLUDE_TEX_FILE> may be overwriting the space,
       which may also be overwriting the caption.
    
    The following should work:
    
    <figure>(caption\name)
    <include_tex_file>(file-spec)
    <endfigure>
    
    (I say 'may' in the above because I am uncertain; remember that
    we provide this picmode 'support' because so many people use it.
    We don't claim to understand it.)
