hi there,

I got a question concerning 3B2 (8.08t) and dynamic images with XPath.
When I include an image in a frame I do that with this command:
<$$>\raster(100%,p)=":1::{.}<?xpath xml#/root/kamera[@id=^01530-1]/bild[2]/@href?><$$>

with beeing ^01530 the system-variable for the present page-number.

my xml including the uri to the specified image looks like this:
<root>
<kamera id="1">
<bild href="bilder/01-2.tif" id="2" />
</kamera>
</root>

Now, this works just fine, but it includes two problems. First, if the frame containing the image is a little bigger than the image itself, the image won´t show itself. The frame just stays blank. I found the \raster command in a sample-file. Is there somewhere an explanation for this command? or the exact syntax? I´m using my university´s 3B2-license and there is no handbook, just the sample-files on the CD.

The second thing is, my tif-image includes a clipping-path. Is it somehow possible to use it in 3B2? Right now it is unfortunality ignored by 3B2, but I´m sure it could be used.

greetings und many thanks,

goetz
