Questions about 19.1 Floating images
Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2017 10:41 am
Hello,
I've had a look at the new features of 19.1 and the possibility to define floating images seems great. But I haven't found much information about how it works.
I currently have custom plugins to generate PDF files in various formats. In all my plugins, I'm already using the outputclass on many images to make sure they have all the same width (and easily modify them if needed). As far as I know, the outputclass attribute is not multi-value attributes, so here are my questions:
- First, when using a custom plug-in (let's say with no outputclass defined on images), would the new feature work?
- When using a custom plug-in with outputclass already defined, what happens? Is it possible to keep both behaviors (the float behavior and the one defined in the custom plug-in)? Would there be a way to benefit from this feature or to somehow integrate it in my plug-in?
- Last but not least, how does it work if the image is in step>info>fig? How does the text wrap? I would expect the top of the floating image to be aligned with the content of the cmd element and a "clear" so that the following step does not wrap around the floating image of the previous step.
Thanks & regards,
Annette Bouillin
