problem with image

Hello all,

I'm having problems inserting one parfticular image on my
document. I'm
using: forrest 0.5.1, document-v12.dtd.

The line that causes problems is (the 'figure' item):

----------------------------
previous text</p>
<figure src="images/tubos.gif"
alt=""/>
<p>next text...
--------------------------

If I comment it out it works fine.


The error messagem I get is (the fop part):

----------------------------------------------------
* [0]   0.025s 1.1Kb   hello.pdf
* [0]   0.029s 2.8Kb   skin/page.css
X [0]                       samples/sample.pdf  BROKEN:
org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: No meaningful layout in
block after
many attempts.  Infinite loop is assumed.  Processing
halted.
* [27]  0.175s 12.3Kb  samples/ehtml-sample.html
---------------------------------------------------

I have another image in the document that works fine...

Any hints ?

thx

I'm not sure if this is the same symptoms or not, search the
user 
archives and the issue tracker for more info, but...

There are reported problems with large images in PDF
documents. Is this 
image particularly large?

I can confirm this suspicion, seen this before. What is
basically going 
on here is that FOP is unable to place this image in a
sensible 
position. Try rescaling the picture or limit the
width/height manually.

HTH,

Sorry I didn't originally reply on-list:

I've been struggling with this exact same problem, please
see
http://
issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-413.  Briefly, I found
that I
received that ugly error when I had tall, thin image. 
Through trial-n-error
I found if your height is greater than 540px and your image
is thinner than
451px, you get the error.  The easy work-around is to make
it either shorter
or fatter, but the minimum ratio seems to be 540:451.  As to
why this works,
I don't really know.

Incidentally, I'm using Forrest Head.

"head" refers to the "head" of the
source code version control system. 
So when someone says "PROJECT_NAME head" they mean
the current 
development version from version control as opposed to a
released version.

Ross

ok.

got that !

thx
