Hi Togan,

Despite all my attempts, I didn't manage to obtain a border close to the
figure bitmap.

Bob Stayton pointed to me the following advice :

"You would need to customize the template named

'formal.object' in the stylesheet file fo/formal.xsl.

But you would need to learn XSL-FO in order to put

the border attributes in the right place.  Then you

have to hope that FOP can output it correctly."

but my result was to enclose the whole Block and not only the
figure.

The solution I found was to use Image Magick convert tool. The syntax :

convert -border 1x1 -bordercolor \#000 file.png result.png

The result is just as I wanted.

Regards,
Alain.
