Image Rendering

The Author editor and the output transformation process might render differently the images referenced in the XML document, since they use different rendering engines. The following image formats are supported by default: GIF, JPEG, PNG, SVG, BMP. Oxygen XML Editor also provides experimental support for CGM images.

Supported image formats:

Oxygen XML Editor comes with built-in support for GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, SVG, BMP;
to extend the Oxygen XML Editor support for TIFF, JPEG 2000, WBMP, EPS, and AI, install the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) Image I/O Tools plug-in;
you are also able to extend the Oxygen XML Editor support for CGM images.

When an image cannot be rendered, Oxygen XML Editor Author mode displays a warning message that contains the reason why this is happening. Possible causes:

the image is too large. Enable Show very large images option;
the image format is not supported by default. It is recommended to install the Java Advanced Imaging(JAI) Image I/O Tools plug-in.

Scaling Images

Image dimension and scaling attributes are taken into account when an image is rendered. The following rules apply:

if you specify only the width attribute of an image, the height of the image is proportionally applied;
if you specify only the height attribute of an image, the width of the image is proportionally applied;
if you specify width and height attributes of an image, both of them controls the rendered image;
if you want to scale proportionally both the width and height of an image, use the scale attribute.
