	Hi:

	I'm usign figures as this

	<![ %PRINTONLY [<graphic  width="5.5in" depth="3in" scalefit="1"
fileref="./figs/figure.eps"></graphic>]]> 

but latex seems to ignore the sizes.

	I create the eps files from gifs converted with convert (ImageMagik).

Talking about figures, what's the correct way of using figures when
the desired output will be published on-line and in a book? I'll use
the TeX output for the printed version. Do I need to have pictures in
EPS (or PS) format and in another (e.g. JPEG) format? Isn't there a
way of using only one graphical format for all outputs? EPS pictures
are _really_ BIG.

Thanks,

I always had my Makefile run "convert" (or other scripts) to make sure
that there was always a .gif (should probably be .png) and a .eps
file, at which point I did not put the extension in my "fileref"
attribute.  It works reasonably.

If you use pdf output, it should be able to handle .jpg directly, but
I have not played with this much.  Anyone else?

I'll see if Norm Walsh answers this one, since it's been a while since
I played with it.  But one workaround is to size your postscript
figure the way you want it in the first place.

Are the graphics originally raster or vector pictures?

	I didn't saw any Norm answer about this issue. Do you think it could be
a jadetex problem rather than docbook?

	I suppose, but it's not an elegant solution :-/

	Bitmap pictures.

This is exactly what I do - I wrote a small script 'img2eps' to
convert gifs to eps with an option '--width' so I can scale the image
to fit on a page. All processes are common linux commands (ImageMagik
included) - I also made the images grey-scale since I only print
b&w. If you would like a copy of the script let me know.

	I'm truly interested. I'd wish to help to improve the system to do it
automagically but I'm not sure to have neither knowledge or time for it
:-/
