Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] How to rotate figure in FO
Hi Bob, thank you for the advice. >The figure element doesn't have an attribute to specify an orientation. >Perhaps it should. You could use a PI, or perhaps use the floatstyle >attribute with a customization. > > I would prefer PI, because for other than print output there is no need to rotate it (at least for me :-) ) - I think it is target-specific feature. >One issue might be whether someone wants the figure title rotated with the >figure.

I think that figure title should follow orientation of the figure. My actual need for rotation comes from the size of the figure, which is big enough to be fit better on a single landscape page. So, table can be oriented in landscape (I tried this and it works fine), figure would be too, how about other general floats, like Examples?
