Ahoi, i have some questions about figure libs: 1) i can only access figures from a figure-lib if the file is in the same directory as the document that should embed the figures. For documents in different variants (screen, print) i would prefer that i can have the figure lib in the parent directory. 2) is the XML-file that describes the figure-lib really required to access the figures in the figure-lib: Suppose the following entry: <figure> <file>Figures.1</file> <label>fig-one</label> <copyright>Jens-Uwe Morawski</copyright> <comment>first firgure</comment> </figure> that can be accessed with \externalfigure[fig-one] The page of this figure can be found via: a) looking for the object that declares the destination "about: fig-one": 6 0 obj << /Type /Annot /Subtype /Link /Border [0 0 0] /A <> /Rect [0 0 333.797 108.797]
endobj
b) looking for the /Page object that uses this object in /Annots: 8 0 obj << /Type /Page /Contents 9 0 R /Resources 7 0 R /MediaBox [0 0 333.797 108.797] /TrimBox [0.0 0.0 333.79617 108.7967]/CropBox [0.0 0.0 333.79617 108.7967] /Parent 12 0 R /Annots [ 6 0 R ] c) find out at which position this page is declared in the /Pages dictionary: 12 0 obj << /Type /Pages /Count 5 /Kids [8 0 R 17 0 R 29 0 R 56 0 R 68 0 R]
endobj
Maybe this could be done once for all "about:" destinations for every \usefigurebase[...]. Thus only the figure-lib-pdf is required. Btw, while looking in the PDF-file i found: 86 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 12 0 R /Names 85 0 R /OpenAction <>/PageMode /UseNone\relax /PTEX.Fullbanner (This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211)
endobj
The \relax after the page-mode looks very TeXish. Is this correct? Thanks, Jens
