Re: [docbook-apps] <graphic> scaling

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

If you are not using FOP, then you can use these two attributes on your
imagedata element to achieve what you want:

width="100%"
scalefit="1"

These attributes mean the viewport for displaying the graphic should be 100%
of the available width, and the graphic should be scaled to fit that
viewport.

If you are using FOP, then I don't know of any combination of attributes
that will scale to fit. The current version of FOP does not support the
content-width property, which is where the scale-to-fit value would go.
